This is a day late 'cause I digest.... >>>Some rumours have it that Porsche used Syncros with 911 engines as >>>service cars for their 911 racers. I have never seen any picture or >>>article about them, though. The Paris-Dakar rally allowed no support vehicles--each vehicle was supposed to be self-sufficient. Porsche's answer, at least in one of the first when they had their AWD, was to enter two race cars and a third race car driven by two factory mechanics. Typical Porsche fashion, the two race cars came in #1 and #2, while the third mechanics car came in #8! Richard A. Jones Boulder, Colorado '81 Vanagon Mr Bus (+ '88 Carrera) |
