Theese are rare footages of the Porsche 914 GT at Le Mans 1970.
The car was prepared by the french importer Sonauto. It finished sixth and won the GT class, beating all the 911. It was driven by Guy Chasseuil & Claude Ballot-Léna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgkDHvDwU0Q The BW shots are from French TV archive. The Color shots are from Automobile Club official Film (Not the Steve McQueen Movie) This is edited from copyrighted material. I will make this video available for a limited time and I won't provide any copy. The color film only shows a few seconds of 914. It can be watched for free here: http://www.ina.fr/sport/auto-moto/video/VD...fficiel.fr.html The 45mn BW video is not free. It shows a lot of 917 and about 2min (what I edited) of 914. It can be previewed and purchased here: http://www.ina.fr/video/CPF07003554/24-heu...de-jour.fr.html |

Don't show this to my 911 brethren on Pelican or other forums. They will have a fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Don't show this to my 911 brethren on Pelican or other forums. They will have a fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) You should show it to them. The 914-6 GT beat all of the GT cars in the race with bigger engines and it finished ahead of a bunch of prototypes too. The only thing replaced on that car during the race were tires, brake pads, gasoline and drivers. The nearest 911 was 3 whole laps behind. And the winning 917 was only 53 laps ahead. Not A Real Porsche? BAH! This seems to prove that statement wrong. |
