| Re: Why was the 917 so revolutionary?
Allan, spot on.
Frank Gardener even called the 917 in 69 "a bloody heap of junk that was all over the place". Hans Hermann called it "simply overpowered".
In the light of even professionals having their difficulties driving the 69`917 it becomes clear why Porsche was not keen on an amateur driving the car at one of the world`s most popular race.
Best,
