Hi all,
while browsing through porsche 908 related videos on youtube I found an interesting video showing Brian Redman, who is explaining the targa florio race track while sitting in a car driving on the particular track. Obviously he's driving a 914 with some interesting details. First of all the car features a racing harness, a steering wheel as in the early 911 and some instruments in the middle of dash underneath the ash tray. I'm not quite sure, if he's driving a GT, but nice video anyways ... Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKHnJ8kojKA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKHnJ8kojKA have fun Benno |

Many topics on this over the years, frankly I don't get tired of it,true legend driver BR before the days of "get off the street,I'am coming through'' not a yellow fluoro jacket in sight.
Omg then you read how many people died on this road race ... |

Nice find. See the guy running for his life at 1:36? The motor sounds larger than a 2.0 somehow.

In 1970 and 1971 Porsche used the 908/03 as its specialized weapon for the Nürburgring and Targa Florio. Due to the size of the course in Sicily they brought 914/6s outfitted with the special (GT) race kits to be used as practice cars by the Porsche factory drivers.
In 1970 they brought 2 cars, in 1971 they brought 5. In 1971 they were also doing a bit of engine testing: 2 cars had 2.2L S injected engines 1 car had 2.34L T injected engine 1 car had 2.2L T carbureted engine 1 car had 2.0L S carbureted engine |
