SynopsisThe super-fast Porsche 917 dominated international motorsport in the early 1970s.

Must-have literature for your racing library!, After the 917 broke Porsche's 19-year drought at Le Mans in 1970, it went on to win the Can-Am Series two years running. Porsche expert Peter Morgan gained unprecedented access to Porsche records and 917 engineers and drivers to bring enthusiasts the story of this legendary race car in full-color.

A must read!
If you're a Porsche-o-file, or even just an all around gear head, you need to read this book. It's a pretty complete history on the 917. It gives you development details and race history. Including information on the 917/20 and both the Can-Am models. 2 greasy thumbs, WAY UP!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
