Racing history

The Debora SP92 was entered in the Category 4 class of the 1992 24 Hours of Le Mans by Didier Bonnet Racing. Didier Bonnet, Gérard Tremblay and Jacques Heuclin were selected to drive the car, which was fitted with a 3-litre Alfa Romeo V6 engine.[2] The car was qualified in 29th place,[3] but lasted just 25 laps of the race, before clutch failure forced the team out of the race.[4] The car was not used again,[5] as it was replaced by the Debora SP93 for the following season.[6]
