Porsche 917K (Herrmann/Attwood) Le Mans 1970
The Porsche 917 had run in the 1969 Le Mans race with disappointing results. The streamlined 'long tail' car was very fast but aerodynamically unstable and dangerous. The John Wyer racing team developed a 'short tail' body style which provided extra downforce at the rear and solved the problem. Car 23 was entered by Porsche-Salzburg.
