Pictures of the Sauber C9-88 chassis #05 Silberpfeil at the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix , 07.-09. August 2009 - Cameras: Nikon D300 + Nikon 3.5-5.6/16-85 plus Nikon D2x + Nikon 2.8/80-200 and 2.8/300 - AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix: The return of the Group-C "Silver Arrow" N�rburging winner's car back in the Eifel again "Silver Arrow" from 1989, the highlight of the Group-C race Spectacular and legendary bolides from the 1980's and 1990's. Comeback of the Group-C. For the first time in many years, the spectacular sport prototypes will be starting again at the N�rburgring from the 7th - 9th August 2009 at the AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix. The starter grid will present the most successful racing cars of the Group-C and the American IMSA GTP. „The Group-C was the greatest era of sports car racing", acknowledged the British racing legend Derek Bell, 1985 and 1986 sports car world champion in a Porsche 962C and altogether, four times winner of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. „One has again the possibility to experience nowadays, the golden times of Group-C racing “. Next to the many sister cars from Bell's former success cars, the Jaguar XJR and the Sauber C 9/88 Mercedes, the legends of the era, meet up to do battle again with each other. Triumph of the "Silver Arrow" N�rburgring, 20th August 1989, the curtain opens up for the most enthralling race of the season: Jochen Mass and Jean Louis Schlesser in the Sauber C 9/88, chassis no. 5 with the massive 720 bhp strong Mercedes V8, take the win in the fifth race of the Sport Prototype World Championship, two seconds ahead of team-mates Mauro Baldi and Kenneth Acheson. A double win for the sports car with "Swabian Noodle- power", with which, 20 years ago the colour silver returned to the racing circuits for the first time since 1955. The first modern age "Silver Arrow" dominated the season. Behind both N�rburgring winners, Jean Louis Schlesser and Jochen Mass, the team-mates took the places three and four. Sauber Mercedes won the team competition with a 71 point lead, ahead of the Porsche privateers Joest and Brun. The only "Silver Arrow" still racing in action. With chassis no. 5, the N�rburgring champions Mass and Schlesser also won in Donington and at the final in Mexico. After the last line-up in action at the season premiere in 1991 at Suzuka, that Schlesser with Mauro Baldi won, the successful car was sold to a collector. Mercedes focused henceforth on the C 11 with a carbon-fibre chassis, the rolling school-room of Michael Schumacher, Karl Wendlinger and Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Two years ago the Brit, Rob Sherrard, bought the first modern age "Silver Arrow" and ran it from the past season onwards in the Group-C races. It's the only Mercedes "Silver Arrow" in the 75 year history of racing legends that is still being run in motor sport. Porsche 962: the most successful sports car in Group-C. The Sauber C-9 Mercedes was indeed for two years the benchmark in Group-C, however, the neighbours kids from Zuffenhausen were from the start in 1982 the talk of the town in the category. Seven wins alone in Le Mans were booked to the 956/962 models; in addition five successes in the Long Distance World Championship, the American IMSA Series, the Japanese Sports Car Championship as well as successes in further national championships like the Interseries and the Supercup in Germany. For a time the Group-C racers from Porsche appeared invincible. Numerous Porsche 962s will be on start at the 37th AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix. For example the car with the chassis number 130, with which the Reutlinger, J�rgen L�ssig, and team-mates Pierre Yver and Bernhard de Dryver took second place for the Primagaz Competition Team (F) at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1987. Or, the Joest-Porsche 962 (chassis 116) in white/blue Blaupunkt design, with which in 1988 Louis Krages alias „John Winter“, Frank Jelinski and Stanley Dickens made it as third on to the winner's podium at Le Mans. The Swede Dickens belonged in the following year with the Germans, Jochen Mass and Manuel Reuter in the Sauber C-9 Mercedes, to the winning team of the, probably, most famous sports car race in the world. Le Mans winner and German Group-C hero. The meanwhile 57 year old Dickens, is also in the Group-C contingent at the AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix, from the 7th – 9th August at the N�rburgring. He's starting in one of altogether six Porsche 956/962s. Alongside, several British Spice racing cars belong to the field of starters. Furthermore a March 85G-Chevrolet that's driven by the G�nzburger, Peter Schleifer, as well as a 1984 Group-C car from the Sinsheimer brothers Gebhardt, likewise with a successful Le Mans history. Festival of sports cars and sport prototypes. Alongside the race for Group-C and IMSA GTP racing cars, visitors can experience on the second Weekend in August the ORWELL SuperSports Cup race with spectacular CanAm racing cars, as well as the races for sports cars from the 1950's. On Saturday the elegant, sporty two-seaters start an evening race containing the flair of the classical long distance race and an impressive arrival at the finishing line in the darkness. With it, the largest Oldtimer racing event in the world has developed into a real sports car festival. The fans of the two-seater bolides will surely get more than their money's worth at the AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix 2009. Race with Midnight by Rob Sauber.

Australian classic Group C racer Rob Sherrard has been having a ball recently, piloting his awesome Sauber Mercedes C9 at the Silverstone Classic and the Old Timer Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. Rob’s car is chassis number 05, the Team Sauber Mercedes # 62 driven by Jean-Louis Schlesser and Jochen Mass in the World Sports Car Championship in 1989. The car achieved a total of five victories in the WSC with Schlesser winning the drivers crown and Merceded Benz winning the constructors title. Schlesser teamed up with Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Alain Cudini to take 5th at Le Mans in an event won by Mercedes team mates Mass, Reuter and Dickens in the #63 sister car. Rob’s car holds the record for the fastest top speed ever recorded at Le Mans with a whopping 407km/h achieved down the Mulsanne Straight during qualifying for the ’89 24 Hours of Le Mans. This massive velocity led to the introduction of the two chicanes in the Mulsanne Straight from 1990. The reason the C9 is so quick is that it is powered by a fire breathing Mercedes Benz M119 twin turbo, 5 litre, V8 engine, which punches out 800 horsepower with the boost turned up. Given the silver machine weighs just over 1000kg it’s little wonder Rob and his team are having such fun and delivering results, like his two recent and very popular victories in front of 100 000 (mostly German) fans at the Old Timer Grand Prix. John Wayne’s family responds to actor’s controversial 1971 interview with Playboy. Ethan Wayne, John Wayne's youngest son, talks about what it was like growing up with his famous father and how he's keeping his legacy alive today. John Wayne’s family is speaking out after the late actor’s 1971 interview with Playboy resurfaced on social media, resulting in outrage and a fiery debate. “We hope America remembers John Wayne as we do: a devoted family man, great friend and cherished actor on the big screen, as well as for his continuing work to find a cure for cancer through the John Wayne Cancer Foundation and the John Wayne Cancer Institute,” the John Wayne Family wrote in a statement to Fox News. “It’s unfair to judge someone on something that was written that he said nearly 50 years ago when the person is no longer here to respond,” the statement continued. “Regardless of color, ethnicity or sexual preference, [our] father taught us to treat all people the same, with respect.” Tennessee-based screenwriter Matt Williams originally tweeted excerpts of the interview, which was quickly picked up on social media.

Without any help from the factory, the small team of dedicated professionals at ANDIAL with significant help from Glen Blakely, this 935-L won the Daytona 24 Hours in 1983 and finished second in 1984, with numerous other podium results in its career. Read on to discover more of this amazing race car’s story. In 1980, IMSA introduced the concept of GTP cars in their rules for 1981. These would be www.porscheroadandrace.com ground effect prototype cars with various types of engines. Porsche had long since stopped building any 935s, as they were preparing for the new Group C formula in Europe in 1982 and working on what would become the 956. IMSA and the FIA (ACO) had a large parting of the ways in terms of rules at that time. The Group C formula would be fuel-based, i.e. a specific amount of fuel per race, using a ground effect prototype chassis. IMSA went in the opposite direction, still with a prototype chassis but with no fuel limits of any kind. Various engines were approved with various minimum weights. It could be said that the first ‘IMSA GTP car’ was the Inaltera-Ford that ran at Daytona in 1977 as an FIA invited car.
