Brands Hatch 1000km race 1987
The 1987 Brands Hatch 1000 km race , also known as the Shell Gemini 1000 kms, Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit, took place on July 26th at the Brands Hatch circuit and was the seventh round of the World Sports Car Championship of that year.
The race
The Brands Hatch 1000 km race had an impressive field of starters. Although the Porsche works team announced their withdrawal from the 1987 sports car world championship before the 200-mile race in Nuremberg , five Porsche 962s were at the start. The fastest training time was achieved by the Dutchman Jan Lammers in a Jaguar XJR-8 , which lapped the 4.207-kilometer racetrack in 1.14.400 minutes, which corresponds to an average lap of 203.416 km / h.
In the race, the Porsche could not quite keep up with the high speed of the factory Jaguar . Mauro Baldi and Johnny Dumfries had to admit defeat in the Liqui-Moly-962 to the fastest Jaguar of Raul Boesel and John Nielsen at the finish by more than a minute.
