The Porsche 935 J #6 Liqui Moly is a legendary Group 5 race car that was used in 1980 by the German Joest Racing in the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM). The car was driven by the legendary German driver Rolf Stommelen.
Key historical facts
The Car: The addition 'J' stands for Joest Racing, which developed and built this variant itself after Porsche quit the factory team at the end of 1979. The car is equipped with a powerful 3.2-liter six-cylinder twin-turbo boxer engine.
The Race: This specific version with starting number 6 participated in the DRM race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in 1980, where Stommelen raced to a handsome 3rd place.
The Livery: The car is immediately recognizable by the striking white base with the green / red sponsor surfaces and logos of main sponsor Liqui Moly.
Chassis: 000 0016
The third and final all new 935 J built, this car was first used by Joest Racing during the 1980 DRM Championship. At its debut outing, the Zolder round, it was driven to victory by Rolf Stommelen. Later that year, Manfred Winkelhock also added a further two victories to chassis 000 0016's tally. During the 1981 season, it was campaigned by the Vegla Racing Team, who won the Silverstone 1000 km outright with Walter Roehrl, Harald Grohs and Dieter Schornstein sharing the driving duties. The team continued to race the car, with help from Joest Racing, well into the 1982 season. The 935 J was entered at Le Mans but it was all but destroyed in practice with Grohs behind the wheel. The remains were acquired by Siggi Brunn in 1984 and over the next few years restored the car to its former glory. Boasting the livery of the Liqui Moly Team Joest car, it was briefly raced in historic events during the late 2000s and early 2010s.
