1 Of Just 39 Produced For The Rothmans Turbo Cup Series

• A Genuine Weissach Built Factory Race Car
• Campaigned By The Famous Ron Fellows In The 1990 Season
• A Nice Original Example Showing Just 10,099 km From New
• Includes Original Magnesium Oil Pan, Fellows' Steering Wheel, Numerous Other Spares, Logbook, And Period Photos

This particular example, chassis number WP0AA0950JN165096, is 1 of 39 Porsche 944 Turbo Cup examples produced for the Rothmans Series. It shows only 10,099 kilometers (or 6275 miles) on the odometer and has only one private owner. This proven racer has finished on the podium multiple times throughout its history. In the 1990 Series, it was driven by famous driver Ron Fellows to an 8th-place finish overall, and it still proudly wears that same livery. Notable finishes include two 3rd place finishes at Mosport Park and 3rd place at Shannonville with Ron Fellows at the helm. Prior to the 1990 season, this car was a mid-pack finisher driven by Ted Powell in the Green and white FujiFilm Graphics with no major accidents or DNFs.

This car is arguably the spring board which Ron Fellows used to catapult his career in motorsport racing. During the 1990 season, he was already experiencing much success and as such, drove multiple series in a season. Due to having many commitments, Fellows often showed up to the Rothmans races late and could not practice but yet he still battled for podium finishes at the front of the pack.

Right before the last race of the 1990 series, the motor was reportedly rebuilt by Ron Fellows team and to this day, it still has the Porsche “Turbo Cup” stamped lead clamps adorning the engine. All of the Rothmans Turbo Cup Series races were recorded and can be found on YouTube so one can view the history of each car right before their eyes. During the last race of the 1990 season after the engine was rebuilt, Fellows was bumped from the rear and was sent into a barrier backwards which damaged the quarters, trunk floor and trunk hatch. The quarters and trunk floor were properly repaired and the accident damage was relatively not as bad as most cars from the series. From the rear quarters onward, everything is original, including the hood (which also has its original hand painted Process Graphics logo), windshield, and other glass. After the 1990 series ended, the car was purchased by its second owner who removed the original oil pan to protect it (the car comes with the rare magnesium oil pan) and serviced the car routinely, kept it in climate controlled storage, and only took it out occasionally for parade laps. Before it is ready to return to the track, this rare Turbo Cup will require some safety and normal timeout items to be replaced if hard racing is the goal but it runs and drives well as is.

These rare, Weissach-built Porsche race cars are a must-have for any Porsche collection and have yet to reach their full value potential. They are perfect for any Porsche-specific Concours event and are eligible for HSR, PCA Club Races, and more due to their heritage.

The new owner will get a copy of the logbook, Ron Fellows Custom Seat, various suspension parts, Ron Fellows' original steering wheel, and the original magnesium oil pan.
