After two fatal crashes in 1985 and 1986, Kremer Racing decided to hire John Thompson and TC prototypes to design a new and much stronger monocoque for the 962C. However, the first two chassis of this collaboration and their drivers were lost in another fatal accident. Consequently, Kremer perfected the new set up with the CK6 series, which consisted of a mix between Porsche sourced parts and Kremer developed parts. This innovative procedure allowed the 962C CK6 to remain competitive long after the original 962C was deemed out-of-date for Le Mans.
This specific chassis was left unused and never fitted to completion. The task is now underway to finish the CK10.
