Porsche 917 - 1969 by Perico001 The 917 had almost no aero grip due to its long tail for the maximum speed at Le Mans. The use of wings was in it infancy. This 917, which led the 1969 24 Hours for a long time and set the fastest lap at 234 km/h (Vic Alford), is on show in its short-tail version perfected by the Gulf Wyer team as it is raced regularly.
