I don't know, which chassis this is, but it is a 1980 or even 1981 car. The K3 as such was introduced in 79.

[@po9146]

To see that car running toe to toe with modern prepped cars with probabaly way more aero and carbon brakes validates everything I love about the 935. Keep up the amazing driving, I've been hooked on your videos since an old clip of a 996 Gt3R at Sebring many years ago!

Nice to see the car being properly exercised. We used to look after it in the UK for P.G the owner. It never really got used as intended and was only out on track a couple of times! This car has some really good late Kremer chassis tweaks with fairly trick springs/dampers & we suspected it would be quick driven properly. Shame the rose joint slipped out of the gear selector. Have you ran the car with a bit more boost yet? It has the better later fuel pump and should be safe to 1.5bar on 104-108 with 4-5% O2. Regards Ian CCR.

[@ACMEpowersports]

What livery was on that car? Great info!

[@ccr9568]

@@ACMEpowersports sorry for the delay I've only just revisited this footage for a coffee and nostalgia moment! It was still in its full and menacing Interscope livery. From memory I think the car was mainly raced by Danny Ongais in period. We only had a limited lime with it, around 2 years but I believe it was pretty much the last "non tube frame" car Kremer built. We were also lucky enough to have it at the same time as the Travel cruiser car which was originally a Porsche factory 935 #21 then subsequently converted by Kremer which was an early K3 and there were many differences between the two cars. This car had different and more adjustable suspension pick up points, A kind of Hybrid Bosch/Kuglefischer mechanical injection system that was happy AFR wise running higher boost over longer time periods without leaning off etc. It also had more aggressive aero fences and a slightly higher rear window and wing line, all small changes but really obvious with the 2 car together. It was and hopefully still is a very serious car, especially with a half turn or 2 or 3 on the "gas valve" by the gear lever. I think rightly given that it hadn't had much shake down before this race the boost was set very conservatively looking at the incar footage (maybe the lowest setting 1.1 bar). With most of the pace coming from a very talented driver in the braking/corners, When I originally watched this I was willing Leh to wind the valve clockwise as each half a turn would have added around 45hp (0.1bar) and "shortened" the straights considerably then the gear lever pivot bolt fell out and I felt a bit defective!.. Good times sorely missed ...I hope it's still being properly exercised as these cars perform best when used regularly?

I see the shifter starting to act up at 14:55. It's amazing to see you out brake and carry more speed through the corner than other cars with more hp and probably more downforce. Terrific driving as always! 👍
