24 Heures Du Mans 1979-1971: Code Neuf-Un-Sept

Product description

Porsche: the birth of the myth. Immortalized by Steve McQueen in his film “Le Mans”, the Porsche 917 has become one of the greatest icons of motor racing. But before that, the 917 is the culmination of Porsche’s work at the highest level of competition. Thanks to this prototype, developed with the help of the greatest drivers of the time (Rodriguez, Siffert, Redman, Piper, etc.), Porsche was finally able to aim for victory in the overall standings of the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, or even winning the Endurance Championship. The Ford GT40s, after 4 years of domination, are getting old, the Matras are still too young. Ferrari, on the other hand, with its new 512 S and its talented drivers, will make the task difficult for Porsche. But nothing prevents a legend from being written, especially at this speed! This new cartoon album from the “Plein Gaz” collection dedicated to the famous Le Mans race retraces a mythical period, certainly the most awaited by fans!
