Wasn't the '84 962 the IMSA version of the 956, and the 962C became the Group C car when the rules changed to mandate that the drivers feet had to be behind the front axle line?

If a 962 did race at Le Mans in '84 (sorry, can't remember off the top of my head) it probably wouldn't have been particularly competetive, as it always seemed that the IMSA GTP cars were at a significant disadvantage when running at Le Mans against the Group C Cars (was that down to fuel tank size?) The Group 44 Jaguars seemed to suffer the same way.
