Bill, Steve and I are back from Rennsport V in California. It took place at Laguna Seca in perfect weather last Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

A few pics to encourage you all to attend the next one...

From Porsche...

 

When Hans Herrmann and Jacky Ickx met on the opening night of the Rennsport Reunion, their delight was second to none. “It’s always wonderful to be reunited with so many drivers from the early days and talk about old times,” says the first Le Mans winner for Porsche (1970 in the 917K with Richard Attwood). “It is important for the future to keep these memories alive. The young drivers need to know how it was back then when the steering wheels were wooden and we had no computers like today.” When he meets Jacky Ickx, the conversation quickly turns to the 1969 episode when the Belgian beat him to the flag by mere seconds. But the bitter defeat also yielded something positive: “Ferdinand Piech was so annoyed that for 1970 he built a super engine and we then won with it.” Pictured: Richard Attwood, Gerard Larousse, Vic Elford, Jochen Mass, Jacky Ickx, Hans Hermann, Jürgen Barth, Hurley Haywood, Derek Bell, Gijs van Lennep, Nick Tandy, Hans-Joachim Stuck (l-r)

Kevin,

As always, composition is amazing. Lots of newsletter cover-page material there!! I attended RRIV, and had hoped to make this one too. The next one can't come soon enough!

A wide array of Gulf livery 917's were on hand. Car #20 is the famous one driven by Steve McQueen in the movie LeMans and is currently owned by Jerry Seinfeld. You can see the mount by the window on the outside for the camera that took video of McQueen. So many Gulf 917's that there were even two with the same number - different cars though (see the headlights)

How about the car that killed CanAm? Mark Donahue's 1500HP 917. I was told by folks from Canepa design that it was in hiding for over 20 years and was brought out just for Rennsport

There were even some nice items for the front engined water cooled crowd. And yes that is a real 968 Turbo RS - one of 4 made by the factory and raced at LeMans.

A collection of 914's for Ian Cuthbertson. I have it on good authority that he is the owner of the car in the last picture but will leave it up to him to explain what his sponsor is all about. ;)
