Porsche 12 Cylinder 917 to Leave Watkins Glen Global Era
The Porsche 917 will make its final appearance at Watkins Glen on July 25 as the season ends and engine size is cut from five to three liters next year. Two Gulf Porsches entered by J. Wyer will be driven by Rodriguez Siffert Bell and Oliver. The 917 has dominated sport racing, delivering seven wins of ten by Porsche this season and seven of those from the 917 since 1969. The car’s distinctive long and short tail variants and the 4.5 to 5.0 liter evolution boosted top speeds to around 240 mph, with lap times improved by road holding. A roadster 917 PA competed in Can-Am 1969. Porsche plans a 917 Spyder for 1971 Interseries and 1972 Indianapolis hopes.
