Ayrton Senna e o Porsche 956K Joest Sport Proto.

Desconhecia o facto que Ayrton Senna da Silva guiou um Porsche 956K da Joest nos 1000km de Nurburgring - "Eifelring" em 1984. Foi colega de equipa de Pescarolo e de Johnanson, partiram de 9º e acabaram em 8º numa prova ganha pelo mítico Stefan Bellof.









"Johansson and Pescarolo did the morning practice. Senna went out in the afternoon - inevitably it was wet - and he only did one lap. Brought the Porsche smoothly back to the pits and asked, seriously, what were all those markers and switches for. (True. And he had done one lap without knowing). They told him, and, as Pescarolo says, "he was immediatly competitive, you know. After a few laps he was doing a good time. I wasn't really surprised, because I had been told about how promising he was, but he tackled a big car, with a big engine and it all seemed very easy."

e mais tarde o sobrinho bruno senna num actual 997 :

Este carro em particular é muito pouco falado mas é um carro muito divulgado entre os coleccionadores de miniaturas.
