Le Mans 1977 Part1- Martini Porsche 936 Onboard and Pre-race

Those Martini cars were badass!!!

i hope that Porsche consider to comback to Le Mans  and blow them again away

This isn't Barth. It appears to be Jacky Ickx? Barth had a white helmet with a visor, Ickx's was dark blue (appeared black on onboards).

What I don't get is why Jurgen is commentating when Ickx is driving? Or did he borrow his lid for the practice session?

They both raced for Porsche that year, but Ickx was actually on the other team and got transferred to Jurgen's team midway through the event. So what is the story behind this?
Anyone?

Best is Porsche 917/30 ... 1973 ... 1500+ bhp in Q, 1100 bhp in race ... 1.9 to 60 mph, 10.9s to 200 mph. First car to break 400 km/h or 250 mph in Le Man ... With 258 mph or 414 km/h.

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes it´s in german

Can't believe that there's hardly any armco along the mulsanne straight,very unnerving at that speed! Having said that this is a great piece of footage,still reckon the porsche 936 could hold its own against the modern open-tops which look really ugly and have zero character.

da newer protos seem slower coz dey put 2 chicanes along da Mulsane straight!

the fastest car in le mans was the rondeu lp79 the timing was 257mph and the porsche 917-k was 260 altered

race on a tighter track, F1 would own thoguh
