Available for auction is a painting by Greg Stirling featuring the "Porsche 962C winner of the 1986 and 1987 Le Mans". This 34" x 54" painting is made from acrylic media on canvas.



During the early years of its career, the Porsche 962 became one of the most dominant cars in motorsport, and its efficiency and reliability led it to be a car much in demand among private teams. The championships won by teams campaigning the 962 included the World Sportscar Championship title in 1985 and 1986, the IMSA GT Championship every year from 1985 to 1988, the Interserie championship from 1987 until 1992, all four years of the Supercup series (1986 to 1989), and the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship from 1985 until 1989, and it was also very dominant in the American IMSA series well into the '90s. The 962 also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1986 and 1987, with Derek Bell, Al Holbert and Hans-Joachim Stuck at the wheel on both occasions, and later winning under the Dauer 962 badge in 1994.



Greg Stirling started painting in 1980. After going through three decades of self-guided exploration in abstract expressionism, the art of the 20th century, and post-war impressionism, he arrived at the door of realism. To continue his study area, Greg experimented with new techniques, media, innovative processes, and concepts. Mr. Stirling is also an engineer, kinetic metal sculptor, and automotive enthusiast.



A message from the seller: "The proceeds from this auction will be donated to the victims of hurricane Ian, particularly my friend and high school classmate Greg Glenton of North Fort Myers Florida, whose house was devastated by up to six feet of storm surge, and 4 inches of mud, during Hurricane Ian. They managed to get their 2 dogs, the clothes on their back, and his truck to get out of harm's way. Everything else was ruined. They did not have flood insurance and homeowners insurance had already notified them that they were not paying. This money is needed for them to take care of the immediate things to get back on their feet only. They will get with FEMA for disaster help but all of that will take a long time. Greg is a double amputee and is going through dialysis."
