    It is clear from this video that Porsche was not focused on the 911 in racing for world recognition. The 917s and 908s were the stars, with the 911s and 914-6s just a mention in the 2.0L class. Things began to change in 72, and with the Porsche family out of management, and the world economy suffering, racing the 911 based cars became paramount for selling on Monday. And, as they say, the rest is history...The 911 based cars dominated the next 6-7 years in world competition, and kept Porsche a very profitable independent manufacturer for the next 30 years.

    I wonder if we're seeing somewhat of a repeat these days, albeit for different reasons. Porsche has been completely overshadowed by Audi for the past decade, although the 911 program has been strong. So next year they go for the overall wins and the big headlines with mega-dollar prototypes to restore their heritage a bit. They'll probably compete at the top a few years until they dominate, and then return to a customer-911 program.

    Sure was different back then
