Le Mans: the Official History 1970–79 www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 Published: 24th June 2020 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/le-mans-the-official-history-1970-79/ www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale www.porscheroadandrace.com This edition of Quentin Spurring’s fabulous series covers the 1970s in his well-known and valuable decade-by-decade history of the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race. The decade from 1970 to 1979, certainly saw some of the most memorable race cars in recent times take to the track. Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale This ten-year period commenced with Porsche’s first victory in the French race (1970), and included the rise of turbo power, victories by Matra (1972, 1973 & 1974) and Renault (1978), and culminated with the first victory by a privateer Porsche team (1979). The Gulf- Mirage scored one victory (1975), with Porsche romping home first on no less than five occasions (1970, 1971, 1976, 1977 & 1979). Porsche’s haul of five wins in ten years was quite remarkable for a manufacturer who, a decade earlier, had not scored a single overall victory at Le Mans. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale The opening couple of years saw the mighty Porsche 917 going head-to-head with the potent Ferrari 512 S and 512 M, but if truth be told, the Ferraris lacked the development time and commitment by the factory to be a serious, regular contender. But the potential, or anticipated contest between these two, was always a possibility. In 1972, the new 3-litre maximum permitted engine capacity rule came into force, which saw the French Matra’s rise to the occasion, winning three years in succession, much to the delight of the local spectators. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale The early ‘70s was also the era of the big Ferrari 365 GTBs, or Daytonas to you and I, these cars being powered by a mighty 4.4-litre V12 engine, making them easily a lot faster than the Porsche 911s. The by now old Porsche 908 refused to lie down and die, as no fewer than seven of these stalwarts were entered in the ’72 race, along with a single Porsche 907. The Joest-entered 908 LH finished a fine third overall. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale In ’73 the fantastic Ferrari 312 PB, which had wrapped up the previous season’s championship with ten victories, came up against some serious competition in the Matra and Mirage. The evergreen Porsche 908 was still going strong this year, finishing with two out of the top seven places. This year saw some gripping battles down in the Sports, GT and Touring classes, where 911s did battle against Daytonas, BMWs and Corvettes. What a wonderful sight it must have been to see these fantastic cars going door handle-to-door handle for 24 hours. Along with the Ferrari 312 PBs, a clutch of Alfa T33s were also always a threat to the leaders, should they have lasted the distance. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale The Matras were still the cars to beat in ’74, but famously, the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo of Gijs van Lennep and Herbert Müller finished in an impressive second place overall. This was the opening salvo fired by the Stuttgart manufacturer, which heralded a new era of turbo power with the first turbocharged 911 at Le Mans. Sportscar racing was in the grip of a sharp downturn in the mid-70s, thanks in part to the OPEC fuel crisis, but the ever- changing rules did not help the situation either. As a result of all of this shuffling of classes, cars and rules, the Le Mans race was run outside of the FIA World Championship for the first time since 1956. The mid-point of the decade would belong to the Gulf Mirage M8 of Ickx and Bell, with the sister car finishing in third place. Just in case you thought that you had seen the last of the Porsche 908s, the Joest-entered car finished in fourth place! www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale After some years away from Le Mans with an official factory team, Porsche returned with a pair of Martini-sponsored 936s in 1976. This was also the first year for the mighty 935, a model that, in its various guises, would make the international racing stage its own for many years to come. This year would see the 936 of Ickx/van Lennep take the chequered flag with the top 935 finishing in fourth place. The ’77 race would see a squad of one works 935 and five privateer 935s together with a host of 911s in support of the two works 936s. Although the winning car was again a Porsche 936, which limped across the finishing line, Porsche had the GT class much to itself taking the Group 5 and Group 4 classes, while a BMW 3.0 www.porscheroadandrace.com CSL took the IMSA GT class. All three of the works Renault-Alpine A442s failed to finish, much to the embarrassment of the team, and the suits. Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale The 1978 race was notable, for Renault at least, as this year saw them victorious with Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud taking the honours in a much-improved Renault-Alpine A442B. This car was followed home in second and third places by the works Porsche 936-78 and 936-77. Filling places 5-6-7-8 were four Porsche 935s with the much-loved 935-78 ‘Moby Dick’ of Rolf Stommelen and Manfred Schurti coming home in eighth place. Porsches would win the Group 5, IMSA GT and Group 4 classes that year. Four Ferrari 512 BB cars appeared at Le Mans and although only one would finish, the cars from Maranello added some excitement to the mix. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale The final race of the decade went completely against expectations. All the main contenders had problems, including the two Porsche 936-79s. The weather was atrocious, and this is where the Group 5 cars had an advantage as their engine bays were better protected and being heavier, they sat better on the track which was at times awash with water. 1979 was definitely the year that the Porsche 935 came of age, as the first four places were occupied by these Group 5 cars. At the top of the leaderboard was the #41 Kremer Porsche 935 K3 driven by the Whittington brothers Don and Bill, together with Klaus Ludwig. In second www.porscheroadandrace.com place was the #70 Dick Barbour Racing 935 driven by Barbour, Rolf Stommelen and Paul Newman (the actor). Due to the terrible weather, this proved to be the slowest Le Mans race since 1958. Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale After each year’s summary, the reader will find informative and helpful tables and data relating to that year. At the back of the book are a number of very useful summaries, by year, showing driver stats, nationality of drivers, winning tyre companies, fastest qualifying times, fastest race laps, pie charts by year and much more. One interesting stat is the fastest speed through the speed trap which in 1971 was set by the Porsche 917 L at 225 mph (362 km/h). In 1978, this was equalled exactly by the Renault-Alpine A443 at precisely 225 mph (362 km/h). www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale Le Mans: The Official History 1970–79 by Quentin Spurring © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale This book is once again, an excellent account of the ten years between 1970 and 1979, providing all the information you could want for each race in that decade, which is of great value when analysing certain races, drivers and more. If the 1970s was your favourite decade of racing, then this edition is an absolute must for you.

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.

Key Features One of five 908s with short-tail coupe bodywork Porsche team entry at the 1968 Spa 1000km Raced by legendary drivers Vic Elford and Jochen Neerpasch Original factory chassis, fresh factory 908 engine Star attraction and entry for all historic events around the world including Le Mans Classic Description We are delighted to offer this extremely rare factory built 1968 Porsche 908 “Kurz Heck” (Short-Tail) Coupe with chassis number 908-010 for sale on behalf of its long-term owner. The Porsche 908 was introduced in 1968 to continue the Porsche 906/Porsche 910/Porsche 907 series of models designed under Ferdinand Piech. As the FIA had announced rule changes for Group 6 Prototype-Sports Cars limiting engine displacement to 3000 cc, Porsche designed the 908 as the first Porsche sports car to have an engine with the maximum size allowed. The previous Porsche 907 only had a 2200 cc Type 771/1 flat-8 engine developing 270 hp. The new 3-litre Type 908 flat-8 air-cooled boxer engine produced 257 kW (350 hp) at 8400 rpm. The 908 originally was a closed coupe to provide low drag at fast tracks but from 1969 on was mainly raced as the 908/2, a lighter open spyder. A more compact 908/3 was introduced in 1970 to complement the heavier Porsche 917 on twisty tracks that favored nimble cars, like Targa Florio and Nürburgring.

  • The Magnificent Four Imagine You’Re at the Targa Florio
    newsroom History May 10, 2017 The magnificent four Imagine you’re at the Targa Florio. And imagine the heroes of yore – Elford, Linge, van Lennep and Steckkönig – were driving once more. In a Porsche, of course. In 2016 they did it again. Herbert Linge At 88 years of age, it is not everyone who can still change their shoes standing up. Herbert Linge can. With one hand propped on a bale of straw, he pulls the old loafer from his right foot and slips on a “brand new” old racing shoe. Then comes the left. They are quite special shoes – made by his old friend Francesco “Ciccio” Liberto. The shoemaker from Cefalù knows almost all of the old warriors, and many racing drivers had tailor-made, soft, slim pairs made by the gifted leather worker years ago. Linge had three pairs. Two of them wore out in endless high-speed battles, but one pair he has preserved. So far he has worn them just one time – for the film shoots for Steve McQueen’s epic “Le Mans”. And now again today: Once more he is driving an original section of the Targa Florio, once the wildest and most dangerous road race in the world. In an old, distinguished car – the Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder. For special occasions some people like to slip on a suit and tie – Linge prefers his new old shoes. Four Targa Florio legends back together in Sicily Everyone is feeling a sense of occasion – not just Linge, but also Gijs van Lennep (76), Günther Steckkönig (80) and Vic Elford (81).

  • Porsche and the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche and the Triple Crown of endurance racing Published: 7th December 2018 By: Martin Raffauf Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/porsche-and-the-triple-crown-of-endurance-racing/ Le Mans 24 Hours, 13-14 June 1970: A jubilant Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood are given a ride on the back of a truck as they celebrate Porsche’s first victory in the French endurance race There are three Sports Car endurance races that have been run over the past sixty-plus years that have been referred to as the ‘Triple Crown’. Arguably, some can say other races should also be included, but these three have withstood the test of time, and they are the Le Mans 24 Hours, the Sebring 12 Hours, and the Daytona 24 Hours. www.porscheroadandrace.com 12 Hours of Sebring, 26 March 1960: Porsche’s first overall win at Sebring in the USA was achieved by Olivier Gendebien and Hans Herrmann driving a 718 RS 60 Spyder The Le Mans 24 Hours started in 1923, and apart from a brief hiatus for the Second World War, it has been going ever since. The 12 Hours of Sebring was started in 1952 (it ran as a 6-hour race in 1950 and 1951) by Alec Ulmann on a World War II vintage US Air Force base, in Sebring Florida, making use of some disused runways to create a 5.2-mile circuit. Daytona, the youngest of the three races, started out of course as a NASCAR stock car track in 1957. In 1962, the France family added an International sports car race to the schedule, and the 24 hours of Daytona was born, although the first two races were 3-hour races, and then 1964 and 1965 they were 2000 km events.
