About Fangio association with De Cadenet. Well I too had some suspects about this, so I did some research. I found out that the car and the argentinian drivers were originally in the preliminary list that was also "endorsed" by Juan Manuel Fangio himself, who entered the Porsche under his signature. It was probably all due to the car rental, money. Perhaps Fangio's signature was seem as some type of guarantee that De Cadenet would receive his money. The car did exist but didn't start the race since De Cadenet crashed into the wall during practice. Good video and as argentinian myself, I didn't know about this.
@@Racer63. Ah very interesting - amazing the sort of backdoor things you could get away with in those days. Well I say that, it probably still goes on, but we won't find out about it for another forty years or so
@@lenslr Here is #54. I think this is the only photo I´ve seen of the car. Jorge Omar del Rio is speaking. De Cadenet and Pairetti passed out some years ago.10 37 mark: ruclips.net/video/KDYGTlR8rCk/видео.htmlsi=qrL-TyPpiSAKcZIq
You know it's going to be a fantastic video when it starts with something other than agathokakological modernity. That might be the most auspicious opening to a car racing video I've ever seen. Bravo.
Side note. The Pesnke Javelin had 917 front brakes. That also meant The AMC performance catalog at the dealers covertly offered 917 brakes.
Pesnke ?....Hmmmmm strange brew

Thank you!
Great video! The picture of the dune buggy racing the 917 killed me.
Thank you! Yeah I'm amazed that anyone looked at that entry and said "yes, this seems like a reasonable proposition"
Excellent, thanks
Just wanted to say I really enjoy your content, fingers crossed for further growth!
