The next series of Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 skins is about a car which was very well known in Germany. Wehmeier & Castrup bought one of the early production cars to use it for the national ADAC GT Cup series. Their driver was Jürgen von Gartzen. Jürgen drove in the Porsche Carrera Cup series from 1990 to 1992 and was the Renault R5 Cup champion from 1983. He was real Porsche specialist and is also well remembered for his participation in the 1997 Le Mans 24H race driving a Porsche 911 GT1 for JB Racing.
The fist race of the 1993 GT Cup was sadly a DNF for the team.

Success came with the next race where Jürgen von Gartzen managed a 3rd place. The skin for the Zolder race was not very different, I found only minor changes on the photos I have.

For the 1993 edition of the Nürburgring 24H the team came with an impressive driver lineup. Walter Röhrl, Uwe Alzen and Harald Grohs joined Jürgen von Gartzen for the Green Hell. Sadly the team could not finish the race. The team did 91 laps around the course before they had to retire.

Even if the car did a whole season in the GT Cup and it also attended the 24H of Spa in that year, I couldn't find more photos. So if you might have some photos, please let me know.
The chassis 6065 was sold to Konrad Motorsport after the 1993 season. The German team Konrad Motorsport is based in Verl since it was founded in 1976. Franz Konrads life has always been dedicated to motorsport as a driver and team manager. After the necessary technical changes Konrad campaigned the car in the BPR series with a changing driver lineup. The car appeared for the first BPR race in Paul Ricard in 1994 and was driven bei Örnulf Wirdheim and Franz Konrad. The team finished 4th behind two GT1 cars and the Larbre Porsche 964 RSR 3.8 of Dupuy and Leconte.
