In fact, it's his diverse business activities that I find so interesting. Seems that Mr Siffert was a 'workaholic' --- before the term was widely-recognized/used . . . and was involved in a number of marketing businesses, which included bringing Big Time Corporate sponsorship to Formula One --- specifically Heuer and Marlboro. He was also apparently involved with preparing Porsche's 917/10 project for the Can Am
Whatever his accomplishments were in a car . . . I get the feeling he would've done more out

The years 1966 and 1967 marked Siffert's transition from the world of Formula One to the world of sports car / endurance racing.
Here's the winning 908 driven by Jo Siffert and Vic Elford at the 1968 1000km at the Nurburgring. Siffert behind the wheel.
