Although the Sauber C8 generally lacked effective ground effects, it was reliable but off the pace of the Porsches and Jaguars, but the poor weather allowed Mike Thackwell to drive brilliantly on his Goodyear rain tyres to pass Hans-Joachim Stuck in the works Porsche 962C, leading the race on merit. However, a collision between the Argo-Zakspeed of Martin Schanche and the Tiga-Ford of Roy Baker, required the deployment of the safety car on Lap 22. As the safety car was deployed however, low visibility and confusion over the state of the caution led to the two works Rothmans Porsches of Stuck and Jochen Mass colliding on the front stretch, heavily damaging both cars. Due to the amount of debris littering the track, the event was stopped for two hours.Mike Cotton, "Directory of World Sportscars Group C and IMSA Cars from 1982" (Aston Publications, 0-946627-38-X, 1988) Believing the track to be unsafe in the continuing wet conditions, three Porsche teams chose to withdraw from the event. These included the three Brun cars, as well as the Joest and Kremer cars. The race was restarted behind the pace car, but timing was on aggregate. http://www.dailymotion.com/dric76/video/xy483_1986-r7-nurburgring_sport 1987 R7 Nurburgring 2008-06-26 At the restart, Thackwell kept control of the race, and although Derek Warwick’s Jaguar passed him as the circuit dried out, the British car later retired with a broken oil line. The remaining Porsche teams were unable to keep up with the Sauber or Jaguar. There was nothing, then to Henri Pescarolo from completing the shortened race distance giving Sauber its first-ever World Championship success. It also marked the first victory by a Mercedes-Benz in the World Championship since the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Sauber triumphed in a time of 3hr 42:30.020, averaging a speed of 92.626mph. Second place went to the Liqui Moly Equipe pairing of Klaus Niedzwiedz and Mauro Baldi aboard the Porsche 956 GTi, who was two laps adrift. The podium was completed by the Spanish partnership of Emilio de Villota and Fermín Vélez in their John Fitzpatrick Racing prepared Porsche 956. http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Nurburgring-1986-08-24.html Nürburgring 1000 Kilometres 1986 - Race Results - Racing Sports Cars Classification Official results Please note that the result was declared after 121 laps (598.6 km), instead of the full race distance.
