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 Porsche needed to deliver its first overall victory at Le Mans.
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, which at that time had no chicanes.
Ahrens’ aim 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 out above 350 km/h. Ahrens goes for it. The clock stops at 3:19.08. Three seconds faster than the pole of 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 pace-setter that slows down the red drivers from Maranello.
After 226 laps comes the unexpected failure… an intake valve pops loose. "Race over, mission accomplished."
Yet Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood surge from mid-pack like a rocket and give Porsche the first Le Mans win.
