Series III Illustration: 1986 24 HOURS OF DAYTONA
The 1986 24 Hours of Daytona winning Holbert Racing Porsche 962 driven by Al Holbert, Derek Bell, and Al Unser, Jr.; followed by the second place Henn's Swap Shop Racing Porsche 962; and the third place B.F. Goodrich Porsche 962. The Holbert Racing Löwenbräu Special Porsche 962 was one of the most successful cars in IMSA GT Championship history, winning numerous races and championships – it also had the best looking livery ever on a 962. The Löwenbräu Special Porsche started its career in 1984, winning several times during its first season. It continued this success during the 1985 season, winning Al Holbert the Driver’s Championship, and Porsche the GTP Championship for Makes. Holbert entered the car in the 1986 season opener at the 24 Hours of Daytona (it had finished second in 1985). The race was one of the most competitive races in Daytona history, the number 14 Porsche 962 claimed victory over the Henn's Swap Shop 962 by just 49 seconds. Al Holbert, for the second year in a row, won the Driver’s Championship, and Porsche the GTP Championship for Makes. For the 1987 season, the Löwenbräu Special 962 was prepared for its third appearance at the 24 Hours of Daytona. At the end of the 24 hours, the Holbert Racing 962 was again victorious. To this day, the Löwenbräu Special Porsche 962 is the only car to ever capture back-to-back wins at America’s premier endurance race.
