In 1986, the enterprising race director Gernot Leistner had actually managed to bring the world elite of the Sports Car World Championship to the short but ultra-fast street circuit in Nuremberg. On 29 June 1986, the Norisring hosted a world championship race for the very first time. Four weeks earlier, Porsche had competed against Jaguar, Sauber, Nissan and Rondeau at Le Mans, but only the favourites from Porsche and Jaguar turned up in Nuremberg to fight for world championship points around the historic stone grandstand. Porsche lined up with a brand new 962C with PDK gearbox. Opposite them were three Silk Cut works Jaguars and the privately entered Porsche 962Cs from Joest, Brun and Kremer Racing.
The Kremer Porsche 962C with chassis number 962-114 drove its first race at the end of 1985 and was entered in the Interseries, the Supercup and in individual World Championship races in 1986, but not at Le Mans. SAT Additive was the main sponsor for almost all races that year. For the Norisring, the Kremer brothers had signed British driver James Weaver. The Group C cars had pushed the lap times in Nuremberg to under 50 seconds for the first time and it was to be a brutal heat battle in front of 70,000 spectators. Fifth place in the end was a success for the newcomer. Chassis 114 was sold to Japan at the end of the 1986 season, where it raced in Leyton House colours in 1988 and for Alpha Cubic Racing in 1989.
