Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The '''Sauber SHS C6''' was a [[Group C]] [[prototype]] [[racing car]] built by Swiss manufacturer [[Sauber]] and engineering firm Seger & Hoffman (hence the unique SHS designation), intended for competition in the [[World Sportscar Championship|World Endurance Championship]] and [[Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft]] series. Seger & Hoffman left the project later in 1982, leaving the car completely under Sauber's control.

Following Sauber's return to sportscar racing with [[Group 5 (racing)|Group 5]] [[BMW M1]]s, [[Peter Sauber]] decided to return to the top echelon with the creation of a new scratch built sports car in association with Team GS-Sport, who would run the team.  Among the more notable features of the SHS C6 was the large "whaletail" rear wing, centrally mounted on the chassis.

==Initial racing history==
[[File:Antoine_Salamin_Sauber_Sehcar_C6_Musée_des_transports_Lucerne_2013_-_1.jpg|left|frameless]]
Launched in the 1982 season, the SHS C6 first ran at the [[World Sportscar Championship|World Endurance Championship]] [[1000km Monza]] where it unfortunately failed to finish due to fuel pump failure.  Following this, the car appeared in its first [[Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft]] at the [[Nürburgring]], where it again failed to finish due to an accident.  Brun and Sauber's luck however would increase as the year went on, with an SHS C6 finishing 13th at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]], earning its first WEC championship points, although its second entry failed to finish.  However, for the next few WSC and DRM races, neither SHS C6s would be able to finish, including at the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]].  Following Le Mans though, Brun and Sauber would improve again, as they finished 7th at [[Norisring]], 4th at [[Hockenheimring]], and 8th at [[Hockenheimring]] again in DRM, then followed by a 9th at the [[1000km Spa]] and 5th at 1000&nbsp;km Mugello in WEC.  With these results, Sauber managed to finish tied for 5th in the [[World Endurance Championship for Manufacturers]].

With 1982 over, Sauber decided that the SHS C6 needed improvement, and decided to develop a replacement, the [[Sauber C7]], and to use a BMW motor in place of their [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] [[Cosworth]] they had used for the bulk of 1982.  As they were no longer needed for 1983, the two SHS C6 chassis were retired.

==Sehcar==
Walter Brun would take over the ailing GS-Sport company and rename it Brun Motorsport for the [[1983 World Sportscar Championship|1983]] season. Brun initially took over GS-Sport's [[BMW M1]]s and the Sauber SHS C6, modifying the later into what became known as the Sehcar C6. The Sehcar made its debut at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]], were Brun hired [[Hans-Joachim Stuck]] as his co-driver. The race only lasted 32 laps after a gearbox failure. The car was fitted with a [[BMW in motorsport|BMW]] engine for the race at the [[Nürburgring]]. Stuck qualified the car in a fine seventh position. Early in the race Brun had a dreadful accident on the run up to the Karussel, destroying the car and blocking the track. Brun escaped with minor injury, suffering a broken arm in the accident.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1983/55/nurburg-1000-kms-eventful-race|title=Nurburg 1,000 kms – An eventful race|work=motorsportmagazine.com|date=7 July 2014 |accessdate=June 7, 2018))</ref> The car was refitted with a [[Cosworth DFV#DFL|Cosworth]] engine for the [[1983 24 Hours of Le Mans|24 Hours of Le Mans]] were the car was driven by the Canadian drivers [[Jacques Villeneuve (elder)|Villeneuve]], [[Ludwig Heimrath|Heimrath]] and Deacon. The raced was a disaster as they retired with an overheated engine before the evening had even fallen. The team also entered a second Sehcar at Le Mans for Brun, Stuck and [[Harald Grohs]]. This car was fitted with a [[Porsche]] engine but did not start the race as the car was not prepared properly.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/make/archive/Sehcar.html|title=Complete Archive of Sehcar|work=racingsportscars.com|accessdate=June 7, 2018))</ref>

The Sehcar Porsche returned at the [[1984 1000 km of Monza]] were the car was driven by Clemens Schikentanz and [[Huub Rothengatter]]. After an engine failure the car once again did not start the race. At [[1984 1000 km of Silverstone|Silverstone]] Schikentanz and Rothengatter finished in 15th position, which was the first finish for the Sehcar in a [[World Sportscar Championship]] race. At [[Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps|Spa-Francorchamps]] the car was driven by [[Didier Theys]], [[Boy Hayje]] and [[Pierre Dieudonné]]. After another engine failure the team did not start the race. Theys and Dieudonné returned at [[Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari|Imola]] were a crash ended their race after 99 laps.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Imola-1984-09-16.html|title=Imola 1000 Kilometres|work=racingsportscars.com|accessdate=June 7, 2018))</ref> This was the last appearance of the Sehcar at a World Sportscar Championship event.

==Return to racing==
In 1983, the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] split the Group C category into two classes, with the lower class designated Group C Junior and intended for less wealthy private teams.<ref>Michael Cotton, Directory of World Sportscars GROUP C and IMSA Cars from 1982, 1988, page 13</ref> For the 1985 season, French racer Roland Bassaler, needing a cheap chassis for competition in the class (which was now designated as Group C Junior), decided to buy an SHS C6 and install a [[BMW M88|BMW ''M88'']] 3.5L I6. Debuting at the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]], the car finished a distant 23rd.  The only other finish for the year was a 17th at the [[1000km Spa]], leaving the teams with no points in the 1985 championship.

Roland Bassaler would continue into 1986, again starting at Le Mans where he failed to finish, then followed by a 17th-place finish at [[Brands Hatch]].  Roland Bassaler would then score their only points at the [[Nürburgring]] with a 12th-place finish, in an event which was actually won by a [[Sauber C8]].  After the 1986 season, Roland Bassaler would stop participating in the World Championship, but continued to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans until 1988, scoring no finishes in the two attempts.

==Returning again==
Roland Bassaler would again bring his SHS C6 chassis out of retirement for a second time in 1993, again to participate in the C2 class at the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]].  The car was still outfitted with a 3.5L BMW I6, although the bodywork was radically different from how the SHS C6 had started life in 1982.  Unfortunately the car would not finish due to an accident. In 1993, the [[Group C]] was cancelled, however, this car was last time entered by Roland Bassaler in the [[1994 24 Hours of Le Mans|24 Hours of Le Mans]] in 1994. The car, entered in the top LMP1/C90 class (including ex-Group C cars), was fitted with a 3.5L Ford Cosworth engine (the same as in 1982-1984), rebadged as Alpa LM (however, it was actually the same as 1993, except for the engine) and painted blue instead of red. The car retired after a suspension accident on the 64th lap. In 1995, the car didn't participate due to the final cancellation of Group C cars at Le Mans. In fact, the car was the oldest car to ever participate at the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] at the end of competition story.<ref>[https://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1994/Le_Mans-1994-06-19-008.jpg RSC Photo Gallery - Le Mans 24 Hours 1994 - Alpa LM no.8 - Racing Sports Cars]</ref>
