THE WAR MACHINE
Many motor racing enthusiasts believe the Porsche 917 to be the greatest racing car of all time. T_his can be
debated, but there is no argument that this is the car that made Porsche a major player in the world of motorsports.
T_he 917 was the car that won Le Mans the f_irst time for Porsche in 1970. Introduced at the 1969 Geneva Auto
Show and outlawed by the FIA for the 1972 season this Group 5 Super Car enjoyed a short life as champion but its
reputation is legend.
Motorsports photojournalist Hal Crocker was there when the 917 took to the track in anger. His award-winning
words and photographic are a trip back in time.
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the 917, this book is a showcase of images from, When Giants Raced, a
book underway by Hal Crocker, that features the 917 and the men who made it epic.
