Spark — S9948 | Porsche 996 GT3 R No. 72 (Repsol / Team GT3 Japan — 24 Hours of Le Mans 2000)

Based on the 996 generation, the GT3 R set the benchmark for customer GT racing in the early 2000s, representing Porsche's transition to liquid-cooled technology powered by a 410-hp 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six.

Carrying car #72, the GT3 R was driven by an all-Japanese lineup consisting of Kazuyuki Nishizawa, Atsushi Yogo, and Hideo Fukuyama. Delivering a flawless and highly consistent performance around the Sarthe circuit, the trio crossed the finish line in a fantastic 11th place overall (securing 2nd place on the LM GT class podium).
