One of my best friends, worked directly for Porsche in the 1970's and 1980's and ran their factory team racing program in the U.S.

He was involved with the making of the movie as well and is actually in it. (Actually not this movie, it was the LeMAns McQueen Movie), my bad.

He worked directly for Helmut Bott, (sp?) and sold Porsche Racing Cars, engines, and parts, to Private Teams in the US and managed the factory teams. He was involved with all aspects of Porsche racing, from the 917's. to 928 Speed records on the salt flats, etc. His name is Peter Schmitz.

He will be visiting me next in March. He is a good friend, retired, and living the good life. His stories are the best over Schnapps!
