The Porsche 956 was one of the most iconic and successful race cars of the 1980s, especially in endurance competitions like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Long Tail version (LH, Langheck in German) was specifically developed for races requiring higher top speeds and optimized aerodynamics for long straights, such as those found at Le Mans.
In 1986, one of the competing Porsche 956LHs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans was number 8. The drivers who took turns behind the wheel of this car were George Follmer, a veteran of American racing with experience in Formula 1, Can-Am, and NASCAR; John Morton, also with a rich background in sports car racing, particularly in the IMSA series and Le Mans; and Kenper Miller, less known than his teammates but nonetheless an experienced endurance racer.
The 1986 24 Hours of Le Mans was particularly memorable for several reasons, including the intense rivalry between Porsche and its competitor Jaguar. However, the race was also marked by variable weather conditions and a series of accidents. The Porsche 956LH No 8 managed to stand out for its performance, but like many other cars in the race, had to face a series of technical and strategic challenges related to the extreme duration of the event and the demanding conditions.
Although it did not win the race, the Porsche 956LH No 8 represented the Porsche brand commendably, demonstrating the technological superiority and engineering capability of the Stuttgart-based manufacturer. The 956 and its evolution, the 962, dominated endurance racing for much of the 1980s, setting new standards for performance, reliability, and safety in endurance racing.
Specific details on the results achieved by the Porsche 956LH No 8 driven by Follmer, Morton, and Miller at the 1986 24 Hours of Le Mans would require targeted research to confirm their standings and specific events related to that race.
