She is the 70s racing tale from 1001 Nights. To me the J.W. Siffert Redman Rodriguez Kinnunen chapter of the miracle is favorite. Along with 908/03, Targa and Ring. When she comes flying round the Daytona banks at Belle Etage 1970 like a Jet amongst Cessna 177s I just get that warm grin everytime. Thanks.
Car racing used to be an epic task, nowadays it is an industry, a "team effort" :-p Nobody broadcasts a factory working or scientists in a lab. It is boring to watch. Luckily , the spirit survives in bike racing and rallies. Porsche 917, a favorite for many people. For me too! 👍
What a monster! The 917 is my all time favorite race car. In second place is the 1969 Camaro Z/28 Sunoco S.C.C.A. Trans Am race car driven by Mark Donahue.
Good old days at Lemans. Pit crew is a couple of guys with flashlights
I’m a total Corvette fan and the Porsche is our rival but the 917 is definitely the best Porsche ever made.
The best racing car all the time!
Saw the 917 race the Ferrari 512 at the Kyalami 9 hour. My ears are still ringing 52 years later.

In person the 917 is an unbelievable sight to behold. The car is wide and sits really low. The sound is better in person than in videos.

4:40 - best sound. The harmonics! It sounds like multiple different engines at once.
1974 - 917-30k spyder…. The best of the best, nothing could beat it

utter beast of a car😍😍😍 best engine music after the brm h 16
dont forget the Matra V 12
Watch the Steve macqueen film le mans to hear these at their best
0:36 It reminds me of The Batmobile except it's not black. 😁😍
A 917 is just a special beast . When you see one not being rode HARD , it’s almost like it’s calling the driver a p@#sy . That car just dares you to.
5:38 - "Your attention to the pits! There has been a driver change. Porsche #21 will now be driven by Michael Delany, replacing Johan Ritter."
Ritter’s gorgeous wife: But Darling, you were going to quit (racing) anyway.
Ritter: Yes, but not this way.
So cool
Stark !😀

917s are awesome but this video is chopped to crap.
