Other incredible competition cars coming to the Monaco sale include a 1998 Porsche 911 GT2 by Roock Racing. One of just six 911 GT2 Evolutions constructed by Roock Racing using lightweight and reinforced monocoque chassis supplied by Porsche, this chassis contested all 10 rounds of the 1998 FIA GT Championship and achieved four top-six class finishes. Offered directly from the collection of its Daytona-winning driver, Hubert Haupt, it is highly eligible for historic racing (Estimate: €750,000 - €1,000,000 EUR). This is complemented by a 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT2, which was the factory development prototype piloted by Aston Martin Racing drivers including Darren Turner and Tomáš Enge. It secured class wins at the Nogaro and Zolder rounds of the 2008 FIA GT Championship and was a Works entry in the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. It now benefits from a comprehensive rebuild and recommissioning by Pursuit Racing in 2023 and 2024, and is estimated to sell for between €750,000 - €950,000 EUR. Another Stuttgart icon to be offered in the sale is a 1976 Porsche 934. The first production-based, turbocharged racer from Porsche, this example is one of only 31 factory-made 934 Group 4 racing cars. It boasts a remarkable history including 18 overall victories or class wins out of 69 race entries over six years. Now restored to its original livery and specification, it is highly eligible for the most prestigious historic racing events (Estimate: €750,000 - €900,000 EUR). From Group 4 to Formula 1, the Porsche is followed by a 1999 Prost AP02. Raced four times by Olivier Panis during the 1999 Formula 1 season, its successes include being driven to 6th position at the 1999 Brazilian Grand Prix. The 3-litre Peugeot V-10-powered grand prix car was fully restored by LRS Formula between 2022 and 2024, and is finished in its period-correct 1999 livery (Estimate: €700,000 - €1,000,000 EUR). This incredible offering of racecars is rounded off with a trio of iconic machines, the first being a 1985 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2. One of just 20 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2s ever built, it was entered in the 1986 Rallye de Portugal by two-time WRC champion Walter Röhrl. It later contested the 1989 and 1990 Race Of Champions, being driven by no fewer than nine World Rally Champions. It is now offered from its current owner of over 30 years (Estimate: €500,000 - €700,000 EUR). This is followed by an iconic rally legend of a younger vintage, a 2011 Citroën DS3 WRC. Believed to be one of just 13 Works DS3 WRCs constructed between 2011 and 2016, it achieved four WRC wins with Sébastien Ogier in 2011, securing 1st place in Portugal, Acropolis, Germany, and France-Alsace. It was also driven by Mikko Hirvonen in four WRC events in 2012, securing 2nd place finishes in Argentina and New Zealand, and was recently serviced by rally preparation specialists PH Sport in 2019 (Estimate: €450,000 - €700,000 EUR). The final competition car in this remarkable offering is a 2019 Aston Martin Vantage DTM, which is one of five Vantage DTMs constructed for the 2019 DTM Championship. Driven by Daniel Juncadella to seven top-10 finishes, it is now offered for sale directly from the HWA Team, together with a complimentary two-day track familiarisation session with the world-famous racing team (Estimate: €470,000 - €650,000 EUR).
