When the Porsche 917 bowed out of international competition in the mid-1970s, few people ever thought they would see the model race in anger again. That all changed in 1981 when one final example-dubbed the 917-K81- was built by Kremer Racing for a final last-gasp tilt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. What followed was one of the great underdog stories from the world of motorsport. Join us as we fire up the legendary 5-litre flat-12 and take it back where it belongs: the track.

What a clear evolution of the 917 from the early cars to this car to the 956 and 962 that followed. Each one a legend.

The 956 wasn't an evolution of this particular Kremer 917 though. The 936 is the missing link as far as factory evolution is concerned.

I never expected a 917 to be racing at Le Mans in 1981, I never knew it did, or maybe I did know and forgot....I was 10, I had a 917 HO scale slot car that I thought was crazy cool, I had some books that mentioned the car, I knew a lot about it, I knew that it was as old as me....but I don't remember one racing at Le Mans that year.

I wish those flat 12s weren’t soooo expensive, I would get a 917 kit and put one of those engines in it. I think the engine and transmission are like 4-5mil

For the 1972 season the 917 was outlawed not 1973. And it's "Por-sha" not " porch".
@fernandogarcia2944
@fernandogarcia2944 5 месяцев назад
Porsche is actually pronounced as he pronounced it. Porsche even did a whole video on how to pronounce it, it's 16 seconds long but explains that it's pronounced "Por-shuh", not "Por-sha". "Porch" is really close to "Por-shuh".
