Kodiopa Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 962C reminds me of Rothmans Rivery first, But I started this because Rapsol Rivery car looked better. This kit has a very simple component configuration, so it is reproduced only as much as you can see from the outside after completion. No engine, no front wheel steering. There's a body color scheme in the manual, but I didn't think the same color as the enclosed Decal's REPSOL letter would come out. I wanted a little metallic + dark blue + a little turquoise. The color is based on the REPSOL character color of the decal. I used the kit except for the extra seat belt.

Kitkent Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It's very nice,and well made. Is this the car that nearly won Le Mans in 1990? Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Very nice: it's also refreshing to see a 'sprint' 962 rather than a Le Mans car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1990, Jaguar won the Le Mans. I didn't find any record of this repsol 962C winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's referring to Jesus Pareja's 'almost podium' that year - he retired at the Mulsanne Corner signalling pits with about 15 minutes to go. A large gasp was hear in the stands because it had been a valiant effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 This is the car, up at McLeans corner, Donington September 1989. Shot with a not-very-good Zenit SLR. Those were the days! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was lucky to see a number of Group C races: once seen (and heard), never forgotten! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
