Rare Giclee Porsche print - Porsche 917 #23 - Hans Herrmann/Richard Attwood Winners Le Mans - 1970

The race winning Porsche 917 splashes through the Esses.

. Once again Porsche had had a dominant year in the championship and arrived as strong favourites to get their first outright victory. Their main opposition would come from Ferrari, now armed with the homologated 512S model. Fully nine 917s and eleven 512s from works-supported teams and privateers were entered. However heavy rain through most of the race neutralised much of their power and contributed to a number of serious accidents. In a race of heavy attrition where only seven cars were classified as finishers it was won by race veteran Hans Herrmann and co-driver Richard ‘Dickie’ Attwood.
