Thanks for posting this great video. Classy ending . . . no spraying champagne on everyone.

That 8-cyl. Porsche was the same car that ran at Sebring that year. Ran long races with 220-HP engine. Didn't look anything like the 909 Bergspyder which came later.

Living there and knowing the roads like the back of your hand is a huge advantage. You'd know every nuance and little mid corner bump on the entire circuit. Add to the mix a good driver in a fast car and you're just about assured a victory, if you have good luck. LOL

+505197 Brian Redman says it took 60 laps to learn the 21 km Nurburgring so how many laps would one need to learn a 74 km circuit? So, yes, a competent local driver must have had an enormous advantage at the Targo. Great to see an actual interview with NIno.

Yes, just like Joey Dunlop at Manx TT.

909 had 10 run time due to fuel system
