Porsche 917 onboard footage

917s' have that wonderful little round hump above the steering wheel. Missing. I believe the film is Derek Bell in a 956, could be a 962, but I think it's 1983 (pre 962 ? ). Would have to watch the footage and compare the track to changes made over the years.

NB. Yep search youtube. Derek Bell. 956 in 1983.

Sorry Marcus,

Definitely nothing like the 917s dash or wheel layout.

Damn good video though isn,t it.

Thanks for finding it.

In a word - inspiring. Going down the Mulsanne Straight at 200+ is one of the things I'd like to do in life. 3.5 miles of pure joy. Probably won't get there so I'll settle for this ride.

Thanks,
Steve
 
Steve,

Don,t be too sad. Nobody can do it like that anymore as they have put two chicanes in the Mulsanne straight now ..............

Two chicanes? Didn't realize that - I must be living in the dark ages.:rolleyes: You're right, now I don't feel like I missed anything - LOL!!
 
These come from a DVD called "In car 956" which is a nice video that is sold by Motorsports Collector and I think it's on Amazon as well.
