I was reading though some history about the 917 and found a little tid-bit about it being entered in the 1981 le mans series, over 10 years after the car was retired form can-am. I have to say, the car looks pretty neat. Look’s like they took a short tail design and added a wing and along with fairings to enclose the rear of the car. It also said that Kremer built this car 'new' using plans form the original cars.
The article went on to say that it was very competitive, but didn’t win anything. It also said the car retired out due to mechanical failure.
