Porsche 910 in full detail and Le Mans winning Dauer Porsche ...

The rate of development at Porsche was relentless during the 1960s with replacements of existing models already being developed even before the latest cars hit the track. A great example of this was the 910, which was a development of the 906 and raced as a works car for less than a year before it was superseded. Compared to the 906, it was lower and more slippery. The first cars were used to win the European Hill Climb Championship from the second half of 1967. During the early races of 1968, the 910s won the two-litre class at events like Daytona and Sebring, while flat-eight engined examples won the Targa Florio and Nurburgring 1000km outright. Before the 1968 Le Mans, the 910 was already replaced by the 907, which had been purpose built for the flat-eight engine. In its brief racing career, the 910 did elevate Porsche from a contender for class victories to a scratch winner. The example highlighted was a works car and is still raced to this day. This weekend, we will get another opportunity to see the car in action at the Dix Mille Tours and then again the weekend after when it will be raced in the Goodwood Revival. As always, you can expect in-depth coverage both events, perhaps even with some more Porsche 910 images!
Among the most unusual of Porsche Le Mans victories was scored in 1994 with the Dauer 962 LM Sport. Using a maze in the newly introduced GT1 regulations, this was a thinly disguised Group C racer based on Dauer's road going version of the successful 962C. The race winner was the brainchild of Porsche legend and regulation whisperer Norbert Singer. The two cars featured were both raced at Le Mans in 1994 and finished first and third. The maze was quickly closed and the Dauer Porsches were not raced again but not before giving the legendary 956/962 series a formidable farewell win.
