The MARTINI RACING Fashion Collection pays homage to the glamorous era of Porsche Motorsport. 6 – 7 Three colors. One legend. To date, the great successes of Porsche Motorsport have been achieved by exciting vehicles with red and blue stripes. Allow us to explain why this is. It all began in 1968. Martini first began to advertise at racing events soon after the advertising ban was lifted, and it wasn’t long before the first Porsche racing cars featuring the characteristic Martini stickers appeared. It is said that Porsche’s compensation for this first sponsoring campaign consisted only of a few racing jackets. In 1970, the MARTINI RACING team was founded by the Italian nobleman Conte Gregorio Rossi di Montelera. The Conte soon realized that he had a highly success-oriented partner in Porsche. The amount that was paid for this sponsorship deal remains a well-kept secret. For the 1970 long-distance season, Martini began sponsoring the team of Hans-Dieter Dechent. The Porsche 908/02 short-tail [ the “Flunder” ] and long-tail, as well as the 917 short-tail and long-tail [ the “Hippie” ] became part of Martini Porsche and received unofficial support from Porsche’s racing mechanics. Although there wasn’t an official Porsche works team, the advertising began to take shape on the racing cars – with proper sponsor designs. The era of the white Porsche racing car had come to an end. In 1971, the Martini Porsche 917 enjoyed a triumphant victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep behind the wheel – an astonishing success nobody had really expected. In 1973, following a short interlude in Formula 1, MARTINI RACING and Porsche Motorsport renewed their partnership. Between 1973 and 1978, Martini became the official partner of the Porsche works team – and Porsche Motorsport celebrated spectacular successes. In 1973, for instance, the 911 Carrera RSR won the Targa Florio. This achievement was followed by two NEW. Men’s windbreaker jacket – limited edition. overall wins at Le Mans: in 1976 and 1977.

Renault and Porsche were fighting an Monsieur Le Mans. Porsche added Belgian Jacky Ickx as a third driver in addition to exciting race, with Renault’s A442 driven by Jabouille/ Haywood and Barth, a move that was in line with the rules. In Formula 1 races, Ickx Bell in the lead most of the time. Gradually, the Porsche had previously only driven mediocre cars. In the Porsche sports car, however, he cars in pursuit dropped out. The first to go was the drove the race of his life. Ickx not only lost 13 lb of body weight in four hours, but also Porsche 935 with Strommelen/Schurti behind the wheel, achieved something nobody thought possible: during the course of the Sunday then came Pescarolo, who during a wheel-to-wheel duel morning, Porsche took the lead after all three Renaults had been forced to drop out with Jabouille over-revved the engine of his 936 Spyder due to engine failure.

Indeed, 10 minutes before the end, the 936 Turbo team knew that something drastic had to happen, and with works driver Jürgen Barth behind the wheel, slowly dragged itself across the an unusual decision was made. finish line.

Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • Vern Schuppan
    Vern Schuppan Born in Australia, Vern Schuppan won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1983 and was part of the Porsche works team until 1988. Full of hope and optimism, Vern Schuppan went to England in 1969 at the age of 26 to become a racing driver. In 1970, he visited the 1,000 kilometre race at Brands Hatch, where he admired the driving skills of Jo Siffert and Pedro Rodriguez in their Porsche 917. ‘Their performance in the rain was very impressive,’ noted Schuppan. ‘I wonder if I will ever drive a 917?’ In 1972, Schuppan joined John Wyer’s Gulf team, but he was already using the Mirage Ford at this point. It was not until 2012 that his great wish came true: as a 69-year-old racing veteran, Schuppan finally had the opportunity to drive a Porsche 917 at the Le Mans Classic. In the early years of his career, Schuppan competed in some Formula One races for smaller teams like BRM, Ensign, Embassy Hill and Surtees. In the United States, he came third in the Indianapolis 500 in 1981. In the same year, Porsche required him to race in Le Mans, where he took 12th place after some engine problems in the Porsche 936. Racing manager Peter Falk was looking for drivers ‘with brains’ for the new Group C and its fuel consumption regulations – men with a consistent and gentle style. Schuppan was one of those up for selection, and in 1982 he finished second at the side of Jochen Mass when the Porsche 956 made its debut at Le Mans.

Aside from the possibility of testing and subsequently perfecting the technology of the sports cars under tough racing conditions, motor sport proved to be the ideal stage to showcase the sporting qualities of Porsche sports cars in front of insiders and fans. It didn’t take long for enthusiastic press reports to appear and the Porsche 356 became the secret weapon amongst race drivers. The small German sports car manufacturer attracted attention around the world when, in 1951, the French importer Auguste Veuillet and his compatriot Edmond Mouche won the hotly-contested 1.1-litre class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a works-entered 356 SL. Porsche was the first automobile manufacturer after the war to compete at Le Mans. The 356 SL lived up to its name: The SL designation means “Super Light” and indicates the aerodynamically-optimised aluminium body with covered wheels.
