Le Mans 1981 Porsche Kremer 917 K 81
Team Porsche Kremer Racing.
Retired 24 Heures du Mans 1981 : Bob Wolleck, Guy Chasseuil, Xavier Lapeyre
Engine Porsche 4,9L flat 12.
We are in 1981 and it is a Porsche 917, but attention, "K" no means Kurz but Kremer, the manufacturer of this brand new car. The regulation allows a type of car, albeit changed, he had banned in 1971. The car was built with plans for the 917, but with many changes: The magnificent tubular chassis has been strengthened, some tubes have changed in diameter. Even if the silhouette is generally remained the same, we see many differences on the body by examining more closely. Most visibly is the rear wing cross which the 1970-1971 do not have. The hopes for winning big for driver Bob Wolleck were quickly disappointed, the performance of the car is well below what the Kremer team expected.
