Ten Fifty-nine

[LongRanger]

. . . w/Mr Siffert

Eric referred to this book, here . . .

. . . screenshots of the two cars from the original image posted on timeless-addict.ch. The link to the original image is

https://timeless-addict.ch/il-sappel...rt-jo-siffert/ . . .

. . . so I actually purchased a copy --- 'Il's appelait Siffert, Jo Siffert'

TONs o' photographs. Interesting stuff, too --- mostly about races . . . but one particularly interesting passage . . . about Mr Siffert taking a Journo ‘round the ‘Ring . . .

. . . in a 911S!


'. . . after the last qualifying session for the German Grand Prix, I was able to do a lap of this track alongside Jo Siffert in his private road car . . .

. . . Even though he was driving quite quickly, Siffert was able to explain, at each tricky section, what a Formula 1 driver can experience at the wheel of a machine that is twice as powerful and half the weight of the Porsche 911S . . .'
