    Great post, thanx!

    Re: Porsche 917 at Le Mans

    Great video! Too bad the quality is lacking a bit, but still, what a car!

    Re: Porsche 917 at Le Mans

    That's not a 917. It is a 956. You can see he passes another just as he gets on the straight.

    Re: Porsche 917 at Le Mans

    Now imagine doing that in the middle of the night, no lights (except yours), and GT2 cars that are running 1/2 your speed....

    I have sweaty palms just doing 165mph on a road course in broad daylight.

    Re: Porsche 917 at Le Mans

    As Sam Posey once said "The scariest thing was passing at night in the rain. Above 185mph you approach the raindrops horizontaly."

    Good catch. Was going to state the same thing after hearing the potent turbos blowing off.

    The Derek Bell movie should be an entirely different one - Bell is commenting his lap & there is similiar footage of his Nürburgring Nordschleife lap.
