My replica Porsche 911 IROC is based on a 1973 911S chassis with a 3.4 litre engine developing 300HP. She is a good replica of what they would have been like when they raced 50 years ago, and is still competitive against much younger and more powerful cars today.
The International Race of Champions (IROC) series founded in 1973 was a unique and prestigious motorsport competition to determine the "champion of champions" by placing competitors in identical race cars, to eliminate any advantage based on equipment.
IROC used purpose-built, identical RSR specification factory built with 3.0 litre engines and officially 316HP, but more likely 325HP.
The 1974 final race at Daytona in 1974 was that this was “highest money per man per mile in the history of automobile racing”.
THE IROC PORSCHES (author: Matt Stone, ISBN: 978-0-7603-6825-1) chronicles the original International Race of Champions 1973-74 season, in which the world's top drivers battled in identical Porsche RSRs to claim the title of world's greatest racing driver.
