But don`t underestimate the contributions of Seppi Siffert and Willy Kauhsen for the basic development of the 917/10 in 1969/1970.
Below pics of Siffert at Weissach testing ground in 1969. Also a pic of Willy Kauhsen leading the 1972 Interseries race at the Nürburgring in his 917/10. Cloud of smoke in the background is from Herbert Müller`s Porsche 908/03 having crashed into the guard rails at the entry of the pit lane. |
i once heard a story saying that the 917's bodywork was so thin, that a piece of TAPE hit the front of the car at speed and made noticable damage. This picture with Seppi sitting on the car says otherwise.
