Description: Active from 1969 to 1975 plus a brief sortie at Le Mans in 1981, the Porsche 917 was an amazingly successful racing car that dominated the Can-Am and Interserie sports car series, as well as its two victories in the famous Le Mans 24 Hours. The diversity and sheer accomplishment of its track career is the focus of this extensive and highly visual study, published on the 40th anniversary of the 917`s race debut. Produced in a large format and containing more than 800 photographs from many key sources, including the Porsche archive itself, along with the author`s detailed and meticulously researched text, this is essential reading for all sports car racing enthusiasts. This unique collection of photographs covers Le Mans and the International Championship for Manufacturers to 1971 and the Can-Am and Interserie races up to 1975 plus the one-off appearance of the Kremer 917 at Le Mans in 1981 and the Penske team`s closed course speed record run in 1975. Terrific images of a great car!
