      then you have never been in a porsche yourself. the thing with porsche is, yes, they are race cars for the street., but they are very comfortable to drive, they have air conditioning, sound system asoasf.
      they are luxury race cars that you can use comfortably on a daily base. have you ever tried to do groceries in a ferrari f40? in a porsche its no problem.

    Fantastic! The way you narrate the epic story, from the 'small motor company we might have heard of' to the 'man had not landed on the moon', ie. mechanical engineering without AutoCAD, right through to the addition of the rear wing and eventual racing success at Daytona and LeMans really makes this one a great historical automotive documentary to watch and learn from.

    a small anecdote I heard about the 917 (don't know if it's true): Apparently the car was supposed to have a glas window over the rear large cooling fan. However, in testing the fan sucked so much air that the glas just shattered. So they just got rid of it

      @@alejandrotomas8506 For some people, tut-tuttering, judging, and for middle-aged people fearful of all the 'Hippies,' Woodstock would have been "Notorious"; Others might remember the 100 mile traffic jam to try to get there (that became partly it's own party). And of course the mud and rain. But Woodstock is most "Renowned" for its fabulous music and togetherness Spirit (often celebrated). And that Spirit helped convince many that the Youth might have good energies and new views to offer.

    Kalle is hanging around with former F1-drivers and now takes some leave from rallying to race a Porsche on tarmac circuits. I wonder what's happening here? Is this some kind of operation to hijack the double WRC champion completely to the dark side, the tarmac side? Kalle already had given his pinky to tarmac racing by doing drift racing between rallies. Is this the start of the end of gravel racing for Kalle? Are the two dark lords here on a mission to corrupt the rally world? Time will tell.. 🤔

    Back in the day were people could still use the best Computer even created their Brains yes Modern computers can speed things up and even save major mistakes but there is still no substitute for the Human Brian and its ability to think and imagine things outside the box and not to be restrained to pure logic or working in the confines and limits of its program.
    This is why those Sport cars that raced at Le_Mans in the late 60's into the early parts of the 70's are such classics in form and design.
    I have no doubt some of those 200 + cars were little more than rolling chassis let face it the very same Guy now Running VW and thus Audi pulled apparently the same trick when they Built the 200 Audi Sports Quattro that the FIA inspected for entry into Group B rummer have it that they never ever built the 200 or sold the 200 cars need before they could build the Rally version and that in fact many were just converted straight to rally use and this is why they are still such a rare car to find in street form even more so if you subtract the many excellent replica's have been built since the end of Group B.
    Porsche in Motor sport is a very interesting story and how against the odds they still manage to keep doing so without the massive budgets of other teams though VW always has their backs covered should they get into a mess as they have done several times.
