AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Le Mans 1970 in: 3:19.08 min. = Pole Position

Never before in the glorious history of Le Mans had anyone driven such a fast lap as Kurt Ahrens in the Porsche 917 Langheck. The fastest qualifying time that Porsche produced the first overall victory at Le Mans for.

Le Mans, France, June 11, 1970. The heart of the famous Circuit de la Sarthe - at the time 13.469 km long - is the legendary Mulsanne straight, at that time without a single chicane.

Ahrens's goal is to seize pole position. He knows no fear in the Porsche 917; he never feels nervous in the 917 as long as the tires hold up above 350 km/h. Ahrens goes for it. The clock stops at 3:19.08. Three seconds faster than the pole the year before. Ahrens and Elford lead from the front!

Eight Porsche 917s take on eleven Ferrari 512s. For a long time, the car of Ahrens/Elford with starting number 25 is the front-runner slowing the red drivers from Maranello.

After 226 laps comes the unexpected trouble... an intake valve came loose. "Race over, mission accomplished".

Yet Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood surge from the middle of the pack like a rocket and give Porsche its first Le Mans victory.
