PORSCHE CARRERA: AND THE EARLY YEARS OF PORSCHE MOTORSPORTS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK

Description: Porsche 4-cam motor and the early years of Porsche motorsports from the and the Spyder to the Carrera GTS, the motors, cars, the drivers and results of racing cars built from The beginnings of Porsche motorsport are described in great detail in the pages with photos and illustrations from races and work studies, album pictures and insights into the early days Porsche production. The Appendix including race results comprises over pages. Carrera - this term is as much part of the Porsche vocabulary as is "Turbo" or "". The racing engine they used was unique: termed "Carrera motor", it became part of automobile history. The remarkably powerful engine with four camshafts, constructed by Dr. The Porsche archive and two exceptional authors worked together on the history of this racing engine and its cars. However, this is a book that has so much detail, that I, as a sometime publisher, would find it impossible to assign because it literally must have taken years of work. For instance, if there was a particular Speedster Carrera built and you have the serial number, this book gives you the color it was painted, and the engine number that went with that chassis number and, if it was raced, maybe some racing provenance as well. I think what happened was that the publisher, in Germany, perceived a need for this type of book and found two fellows who had already been toiling at that mine for many years. All they needed was a professional world class publisher to put it in print. Now, as a result of being so thorough in documenting Porsche air cooled cars built with the 4-cam Carrera engine, the book is a real doorstopper, at 8. Those cars came and went in a couple years and then Porsche was on to other engines for the production cars. The book is more the results of a fact finding mission than it is wallowing in nostalgia so it is a surprise to find dozens of classic Porsche factory posters reproduced in color. There are also many many historic shots, taken in period, of 4-cam powered s, s and s, those mostly in black and white. Now it is not news to the Porsche collecting community that all Porsche s are rising in value, some more than others, and the Carrera powered ones rising the fastest. So the importance of this book is that it gives collectors and dealers a leg to stand on, proof wise, to ascertain the ballpark value of a car being offered at auction, the proverbial barn find or via classified ad. In minutes you can check if there was a car of that serial number built, and if the engine number is the one listed in the book. There are many marques of cars for which there is no similar printed out data base, and those cars are hard to set a value on, say one of the Italian hybrid makes like Intermeccanica or even some DeTomaso Panteras. This book is more for the concours crowd who wants to bring a car back to originality and win their class at an event like Amelia Island or Pebble Beach. The book will also be appreciated by model car builders who want to show a Porsche the way it was when it ran in a specific race, even if the number on the side was hand painted on in a rush. Apparently "Carrera" existed in an earlier version and the newest one, the one I read, is the one with the racing history. I would even put racing history ahead of celebrity-owned, because a lot of celebs buy cars because they look cool, but if questioned know nothing about them. Porsche Carrera | Porsche Road & Race

Aged only 18, Andlauer became the youngest ever class winner in Le Mans. After overcoming eight other candidates in a screening and testing process, the Australian Matt Campbell was one of the drivers that contested the international Brand Cup. Thomas Preining impressed in a screening and absolved a two-stage selection process. Porsche intensified the support of talented youngsters in motorsport. In the season, four young drivers have been trained as professional racing drivers in the Porsche one-make race series. Two of the juniors were only chosen as part of an extensive selection process. Joining the junior contingent for the season was the Norwegian Dennis Olsen 19 as well as Frenchman Mathieu Jaminet There are days and moments in the life of a race driver that will never be forgotten. The book is lavishly illustrated with many engineering drawings, exploded engine diagrams, internal company memos and all manner of period documentation giving the reader an excellent grasp of the origins of this engine, and its various applications. Much of this material, in earlier years, would only have been seen by internal people at Porsche, but much effort has been put into portraying the engine and all of its attributes for the benefit of the reader. Chapter 4, comprising around pages, is devoted to just the engine componentry, from the crankcase to the clutch and flywheel, and everything in between. Subsequent chapters cover tables with details of each engine and its specifications, plus a whole section on interviews with key people involved with the engine at that time. Listed here are details such as the chassis number, engine number, build date, exterior colour, type of seat, and even interior specs if it was finished as a roadgoing version. There is an excellent section entitled Cars, Documents and Photos, and here you will find some little-seen images of the in the early construction phase of its life. Disappointingly though, there is not a lot of coverage given to the which is a great pity, because this model played such an important role in extending the lifespan of the 4-cam engine. The final section, Chapter 10, is in effect the Appendix to the book, and occupies almost half of the entire book, from page to page This chapter is in fact divided into five individual appendices, and includes: That explains the contents and scope of the book, but what is it like to have and to hold. As you can imagine, any book that extends to pages is going to be a long, and weighty, publication and this book certainly meets that expectation. For this reason alone, perhaps the authors and publisher should have considered making it into two volumes. Other considerations are that this book is presented in both the German and English languages, which effectively doubles its size — the English text is unfortunately a light blue which is not that easy to read. Also, being landscape format, this places greater strain on the spine of the book when it sits on your bookshelf, and combined with the effort in handling this great volume, damage to spine in the long-term is perhaps inevitable. This book is more for the concours crowd who wants to bring a car back to originality and win their class at an event like Amelia Island or Pebble Beach.

Porsche has been successful in many branches of motorsport of which most have been in long distance races. Despite their early involvement in motorsports being limited to supplying relatively small engines to racing underdogs up until the late s, by the mids Porsche had already tasted moderate success in the realm of sports car racing , most notably in the Carrera Panamericana and Targa Florio , classic races which were later used in the naming of street cars. The Porsche of turned them into a power house, winning in the first of over a dozen 24 Hours of Le Mans , more than any other company. With the Carrera RS and the Porsche Turbo, Porsche dominated the s, and even has beaten sports prototypes, a category in which Porsche entered the successful , and models. Porsche is currently the world's largest race car manufacturer. Porsche regards racing as an essential part of ongoing engineering development —it was traditionally very rare for factory-entered Porsche racing cars to appear at consecutive races in the same specification. Some aspect of the car almost invariably, was being developed, whether for the future race programs or as proof of concept for future road cars. As Porsche only had small capacity road and racing cars in the s and s, they scored many wins in their classes, and occasionally also overall victories against bigger cars, most notably winning the Targa Florio in , , , , and every year from to in prototypes that lacked horsepower relative to the competition, but which made up for that, with reliability, low drag, low weight and good handling. In their September publication, Excellence magazine identified Lake Underwood as Porsche's quiet giant in the United States [2] and he is among the four drivers, including Art Bunker , Bob Holbert , and Charlie Wallace who are identified by the Porsche Club of America as having made Porsche a giant-killer in the US during the s and early s. Porsche started racing with lightweight, tuned derivatives of the road car, but rapidly moved on to campaigning dedicated racing cars, with the , , RS, and RSK models being the backbone of the company's racing programme through to the mids. The 90x series of cars in the 60s saw Porsche start to expand from class winners that stood a chance of overall wins in tougher races where endurance and handling mattered, to likely overall victors. Engines did not surpass the two litres mark until the rule makers limited the capacity of the prototype class to 3 litres after , as the four-litre Ferrari P series and the seven-litre Ford GT40 became too fast. Porsche first expanded its 8-cyl flat engine to 2. Based on this 8-cyl flat engine and a loophole in the rules, the 4. Even though introduced in , and winning the Rally Monte Carlo , the Porsche classic built until established its reputation in production-based road racing mainly in the s. Due to regulation restraints, the was not used very much in the s, but returned in the s as the Porsche , like the GT2 turbo model. The water-cooled Porsche series became a success in racing after the GT3 variant was introduced in The Porsche is considered one of the most iconic racing cars of all time and gave Porsche their first 24 Hours of Le Mans win, while open-top versions of it dominated Can-Am racing. The year saw the ultimate iteration of the battle it out against opponents with larger engine displacements, ultimately it was able to secure a 6th place overall finish with a 2nd in its under 3 litre GTP class. The following year, saw once again multiple entries of the , with one car utilising a prototype version of the upcoming 's 2. Porsche scored a couple of unexpected Le Mans wins in and This is a feat Porsche had also achieved in the era, contrasting with the s and s where most cars ran only one or two races for the works before being sold on. Between when Porsche won overall with the Porsche GT1 and , Porsche did not attempt to score overall wins at Le Mans and similar sports car races, focusing on smaller classes and developing the water-cooled GT3. Porsche returned to top-tier Le Mans racing in with the , but both cars experienced unknown engine issues with an hour and a half left to go and retired just as the 20 car was chasing down the 1 Audi in first place. The program has also gone on to win the 84th running of Le Mans in a driven by Neel Jani , Romain Dumas , and Marc Lieb , taking the lead with just over 3 minutes left. In mid , Porsche announced that they would close their LMP1 program at the end of the year. In the s, Porsche grew into a major competitor in sports car racing, sometimes entering half a dozen cars which were soon sold to customers. Apart from the factory team, calling itself Porsche AG or Porsche System Engineering since , Austrian- based Porsche Salzburg was set up in as a second works team to share the work load, providing the much sought first overall win at Le Mans, in Martini Racing and John Wyer 's Gulf Racing were other teams receiving factory support, allowing Zuffenhausen to focus on development, while the teams provided the sponsorship funds and manpower to be present and successful at many international races. After appearing as Martini Porsche in the mids, the factory entered as Rothmans Porsche in the mids. Many Porsche race cars are run successfully by customer teams, financed and run without any factory support; often they have beaten the factory itself. The various versions of the Porsche proved to be a serious competitor in rallies. The Porsche works team was occasionally present in rallying from the s to late s. Although the Porsche factory team withdrew from the WRC with no wins to their name, the best private s were often close to other brands' works cars. Jack Tordoff was the first privateer to win an International Rally using a 2. In Cathal Curley upgraded to the new 3. Cathal Curley won four International Rallies in a 2. These wins were all the more impressive as Ireland was the hot bed of International Rallying for the Porsche RS in the s. Jack Tordoff's victory was steady and deserved as he stalked the leading works backed Escort that failed on the penultimate stage beating this car and two other entered s but by Cathal Curley's wins came against no less than fourteen other RSs beating the great Roger Clark in a works backed Escort in the Manx International Rally too. Over half of the UK allocation of 17 2. In the late s the Porsche RSK, a two-seater sports car, was entered in Formula Two races, as rules permitted this, and lap times were promising. The was first modified by moving the seat into the center of the car, and subsequently proper open wheelers were built. The former F2 cars were moved up to Formula One in , where Porsche's outdated design was not competitive. For , a newly developed flat-eight powered and sleek Porsche produced Porsche's only win as a constructor in a championship race, claimed by Dan Gurney at the French Grand Prix. One week later, he repeated the success in front of Porsche's home crowd on Stuttgart 's Solitude in a non-championship race. At the end of the season, Porsche withdrew from F1 due to the high costs, [ citation needed ] just having acquired the Reutter factory. Volkswagen and German branches of suppliers had no interest in an F1 commitment as this series was too far away from road cars. Privateers continued to enter the out-dated Porsche in F1 until Having been very successful with turbocharged cars in the s, Porsche returned to Formula One in after nearly two decades away, supplying water-cooled V6 turbo engines badged as TAG units for the McLaren Team. For aerodynamic reasons, the Porsche-typical flat engine was out of the question for being too wide. He specified the physical layout of the engine to match the design of his proposed car. The engine was funded by TAG who retained the naming rights to it, although the engines bore "made by Porsche" identification. Initially, Porsche were reluctant to have their name on the engines, fearing bad publicity if they failed. However, within a few races of the season when it became evident that the engines were the ones to have, the "Made by Porsche" badges began to appear. TAG- Porsche-powered cars took two constructor championships in and , and three driver crowns in , and Despite its overwhelming success, the TAG- Porsche engines were never the most powerful in Formula One as they did not have the ability to hold higher turbo boost like the rival BMW , Renault , Ferrari and Honda engines. The McLaren drivers who regularly raced with the engine Lauda, Prost, Keke Rosberg and Stefan Johansson continually asked Porsche to develop a special qualifying engine like their rivals. However, both Porsche and TAG owner Mansour Ojjeh baulked at the requests due to the extra costs involved, reasoning that the proven race engines already had equal power and better fuel economy than all bar the Hondas, thus qualifying engines were never built. Though the lack of horsepower did not stop McLaren from claiming 7 pole positions 6 for Prost, 1 for Rosberg and 21 front row starts. According to reports from Arrows, the 's major problem, other than a lack of horsepower, was severe oil starvation problems which often led to engine failure. Specifically, Mueller stated that either Porsche or Audi would compete in Le Mans while the other would turn to Formula 1. Previously, Audi's motorsport boss Wolfgang Ulrich had already stated that Audi and Formula 1 "do not fit". Porsche first attempted to compete in the Indianapolis with an engine initially based on the sports car flat 6 with Interscope Racing as the entrant and Danny Ongais as driver. The engine would be fitted to Interscopes's new Interscope IR01 , which featured a tubular rear subframe, as the Porsche motor could not be used as a stressed member as the Cosworth engines were. Porsche applied to and received approval from USAC for their engine to be allowed the stock block boost pressure of 55 inches. After setting an unofficial lap record in private testing at the now-defunct Ontario Motor Speedway, a clone of the Indiana track, rumors circulated regarding the performance of the engine and top-level teams pressured officials to alter their initial ruling and now categorize the Porsche a race motor, dropping boost pressure to 48" thus losing its boost and horsepower advantage. Unser would qualify 21st out of 24 cars and would retire in 24th place after only seven laps due to a water pump failure.
