About the Porsche 962C Group C #17 D. Bell / H-J. Stuck / K. Ludwig 24 Hours of Le Mans 1988 Universal Hobbies 1:18

TL;DR: Universal Hobbies' 1:18 diecast Porsche 962C #17 reproduces the entry driven by Derek Bell, Hans-Joachim Stuck, and Klaus Ludwig at the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans. Three genuine endurance racing legends shared this single cockpit that year.

It is rare for one race car to carry three drivers whose names alone justify a collection, and this 962C manages exactly that.

Rendering Group C's Signature Long-Tail Silhouette

The 962C's low, ground-hugging bodywork and long, tapering tail defined the closing years of Group C prototype racing, and Universal Hobbies captures that stretched silhouette with the flat underbody surfacing and wide rear haunches the class demanded. Livery elements and the #17 number are applied with the legibility needed to identify this specific entry among the many 962-based cars that raced through the late 1980s, and the diecast body's weight suits a subject built for genuine high-speed endurance stability rather than delicate showroom presentation.

Bell, Stuck, and Ludwig, Three Le Mans Legends Together

Derek Bell, Hans-Joachim Stuck, and Klaus Ludwig each built reputations as some of the most accomplished endurance drivers of their generation, and their pairing together in the same 962C at Le Mans in 1988 represents a genuinely formidable line-up regardless of how that particular race unfolded. Porsche's 962 dominated Group C for years on the strength of exactly this kind of driver talent combined with reliable, well-developed machinery. For a collector focused on Le Mans history or Group C's golden era, this diecast represents a car worth owning for its driver roster alone, quite apart from the model's own detailing.
