I've been doing a bit of research ( ineffectively) on Pedro Rodriguez or any of the brothers, been involved in either racing and or owning a 914/6 or GT. I cannot find any reference, though I have been talking to someone who is adamant the Rodriguez brothers did?

Anyone have info?

Cheers michel

In 1970 Porsche prepared some 908/3s to race at the Targa Florio race in Italy (and the Nurburgring) in practice the factory drivers used 914/6 GTs.

Thx. Did some looking, though no reference or picture linking Rodriguez to a 914/6 GT?

Keep on looking

Considering that Pedro Rodriguez was driving 908-3s and 917s for John Wyer, I don’t think you will find anything other than the Targa Florio practice in a 914-6 GT…

There is footage of Brian Redman driving recon on the Targa Floria in the late sixties.

Search for it on You Yube it is very entertaining.

Vysoc

Have you looked at http://www.racingsportscars.com/ You can search for Pedro Rodriguez racing record to see what races he entered, what cars he drove and what his finishing results were.
