Porsche 908 - a photo on Flickriver

Porsche 908

            For 1969, the prototype rules were changed, and Porsche lowered the weight of the Porsche 908 by 100 kg (220 lb), removing the roof and the long tails. Aluminium tube frames were used, with air pressure gauges to check them.

The 1969 24 Hours of Daytona were a disaster for Porsche, as all three 908/02 failed, and two Lola T70 won. At the 12 Hours of Sebring, a Ford GT40 and the new Ferrari 312P Prototype was faster.

At that time, the more powerful Porsche 917 was introduced in Geneva, and it seemed that the career of the 908 was now over. But with the big brother having arrived, the 908 started to succeed. The next race was the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch, were the 908 finally were successful, winning 1-2-3-4 ahead Ferrari. With additional wins at the 1000km Monza, the Targa Florio, the 1000km Spa and an overwhelming 1-2-3-4-5 at the 1000 km Nürburgring, the 1969 World Sportscar Championship season was secured by the 908/02, while the Porsche 917 had teething problems.
