Motor Racing UK - Retro Racer - Episode 1 - ADAC Nürburgring 1000kms 1969
Porsche Power. At the 1969 ADAC Nürburgring 1000kms Porsche gave its now legendary 917 its second runout, but nobody wanted to drive it. After an extensive testing programme the works drivers opted to race the 908 and delivered what was possibly the greatest race weekend for the car.
It wasn't a straight up victory for the 908 runners. Ferrari brought a sole example of the 312P. JWA - who would go on to run the 917 in Gulf colours brought - two Mirage machines, with two different engines as it held its GT40 cohort in reserve for Le Mans.
This audio feature recounts, in an audiobook style, the race itself, and the stories that surrounded it.
