it´s not only the blow-off valve, but also the whole cockpit and windscreen that´s a givaway that it´s one of the group C Porsches.

Here it´s a factory Rothmans 956 driven by Derek Bell

This ain't a 917, that 917 had a naturally aspirated straight-12, sounded quite a bit better than the 956.

If you find the full vid clip (or the whole "In car 956" video), you'll find that during the race in 1983 when this was filmed the Rothmans 956s topped out at nowhere near 200 to 220. It was in fact 246!!!

Jesus christ that thing is really moving down the Mulsanne, going to guess around 220 there?

[UGonnaBeMad]

Anyone have any idea how fast he's going??? I'm guessing 200 to 220 miles an hour, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

@Maastricht1 Its true.. Around Vasek Polak some mechanics called it the widow maker.I grew up in that dealership in Hermosa Bch.

Brutal machine.

I once heard that racing drivers were affraid of this car.

Either to be driving it, or seeing it in their rearview mirror.

This is a Rothmans Porche 956 not the faster 917 as the video implies.
