I watched a replay of today’s action on the 917. A lot of great cars today. This one was the McQueen of the ball.
I’m not sure if it ever sold. Attached image(s)

Went back and reread some of the history of this car and time. Amazing time for race car development. The risks that drivers and manufacturers took… nearly bankrupting their businesses. And how the heck do you cool the inner cylinders on a flat 12. I guess when you hit 240mph on the straights you get enough air flow.
Can you imagine being passed in a 914 by this beast? |
