Re: 1981 Porsche 917!

Hi John,

the car was build by the Cologne-based Kremer brothers, who had already won Le Mans in 1979 with their Porsche 935 K3 in the hands of Klaus Ludwig and the Whittington brothers.

It was build with 917 spare parts provided by the factory, the bodywork was their own development. They ran it at Brands Hatch and Le Mans, on the latter race being driven by Bob Wollek, Xavier Lepeyre and Guy Chasseuil.
It ended as a DNF after 82 laps on the 8th hour.
According to Wollek, the car was a real pig to drive and he hated it.
Car is now in collectors hands.

Best,
Marcus
