Default Porsche 917/30

Remembering the unlimited Can-Am race cars........


" In the early 1970s, the most powerful road-racing cars in the world performed in North America on the Can-Am Challenge circuit. At a time when Formula 1 cars were making around 450hp, the unlimited Group 7 cars from Can-Am were putting out well north of 1,000hp and none were more famous or so dominant as the Porsche 917/30s campaigned to great success by Team Penske and driver Mark Donohue in 1973.
