This book about the Porsche 917, one of the most successful and
iconic racing cars of all time, presents a detailed
chassis-by-chassis and race-by-race history of the cars entered by
the John Wyer/Gulf team. It includes the history leading to the 917
and the partnership between Porsche, Gulf and JW Automotive
Engineering. These cars were instrumental in Porsche's taking of
the 1970 and 1971 World Sportscar Championship titles when they won
11 of the 17 championship races entered. The exploits of driving
legends Jo Siffert, Pedro Rodriguez and teammates Brian Redman, Leo
Kinnunen, Derek Bell and Jackie Oliver are listed as they raced the
Gulf 917s on the fast tracks of an evocative motorsport era.
Written with assistance from JWAE Chief Engineer, John Horsman, the
book includes scans of his original race data sheets, along with
numerous rarely-seen photographs - many from Porsche's archive.
Detailed post-Gulf histories are presented for each car.
