Porsche Sports Racing Prototypes 1963-1971
NUOVO
Between the 1950s and 1971, long-distance endurance racing reached its peak, and Porsche emerged as a rising manufacturer. Step by step, the company moved from dependable class wins to overall victories, a position it would later secure for good.
This book examines six Porsche racing models built between 1963 and 1971: the 904, 906, 910, 907, 908 and 917. These cars competed in FIA Group 6 Prototypes, the Group 4 World Sportscar Championship, and European hillclimb events. The races ranged from 6 to 24 hours or were defined by distance, including 500 km, 1.000 km and 500 miles, at circuits such as Le Mans, Nürburgring, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Daytona and Sebring.
Covering each racing season, this richly illustrated book documents Porsche's many successes. It includes more than 300 high-quality images, many previously unpublished, from professional photographers and factory archives. Interviews with leading Porsche drivers add first-hand insight, and the foreword is written by two-time Le Mans winner Gijs van Lennep. Together, text and images tell the story of Porsche's rise from regular class winner to clear overall champion.
