Back then the only thing with paddles was a canoe.

 

Thanks Steve, can always watch it again but I have run out of fingers &

toes to count the times I have seen it!

 

Success in endurance racing demands an extraordinary car and superhuman driving, but winning the world's toughest and most famous endurance race repeatedly is the making of legends.

Such is undoubtedly true of Jacky Ickx, who drove to victory for Porsche in the 24 Heures du Mans not once, but four times. Winning in 1976,v1977 and 1981 in the Porsche 936, and in 1982 driving the 956, Ickx helped establish the Porsche dominance of the event that would continue throughout the 1980s.

Here he reflects on a car with which he shares his legendary status, and looks forward to Porsche's return to endurance racing next year - and the remaking of a legend.

e Mans is a race against time, the elements, the traffic. It's about fighting against many enemies on the track.

For us, winning is not only coming first, it’s getting out of the track knowing you couldn’t have done better.

It’s not only about miles, about speed, about a second. It’s all about a state of mind.
Because we are racers.

Thanks Steve, that was a good one.

 

I had no idea how small these cars were until I was able to actually stand next to one and then sqeeze myself into it.
