Champion Machine of 1990 is Back! Based on the Mercedes-Benz C9, which won both the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race and the World Sports Prototype Championship (WSPC) in 1989, the Benz C11 featured improved aerodynamics and a carbon composite monocoque frame holding a rear-mounted 5 liter V8 twin turbo engine. The Mercedes-Benz C11 had a smash debut season in 1990, sweeping away the competition in the World Sports Prototype Championship, winning 7 out of 9 races overall, with 1-2 finishes in 4 races. |
