Following the demise of sports prototype racing in the early 1990s, Dauer Racing GmbH was created to begin limited production of road cars, including a road-legal version of the 962, known as the Dauer 962 Le Mans, which later went on to win the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans.

For several years, Jochen Dauer had run for a number of teams, mainly in the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft and its successor championship, the ADAC Supercup.

Dauer was able to secure sponsorship from the Victor Computer company, and confirmed a full-season campaign in the Supercup for the 962C,[1] while the Zakspeed car would run in the Interserie.

Towards the end of 1987, Dauer also chose to enter the World Sports-Prototype Championship, with Johnny Dumfries and Harald Grohs co-driving in the endurance events.

[5] In 1989, Dauer Racing chose to concentrate fully on the World Championship and Supercup, only occasionally attending Interserie events.

[6] In Supercup however, the team finished second in the championship behind the dominant Joest Racing squad,[7] although no victories were earned during the year, nor in the Interserie.

[12] Successfully completed by June 1994, the next two chassis were entered by the factory Porsche team, running in a production-based classification thanks to new regulations.

Drivers Yannick Dalmas, Hurley Haywood, and Mauro Baldi won the race overall, while the second car finished in third place.

During an auction held in 1997, Dauer Sportwagen bought most of the remains of the company, including spare parts and five unfinished EB110 chassis.
