A BRIEF HISTORY OF PORSCHE 917.021 

This Porsche 917K was owned and raced by Aernio Wihuri (AAW Racing) of Finland.

Principal driver was Gijs van Lennep of Finland.

Early in 1970 the car was painted psychedelic blue and green.

At LeMans, the drivers were David Piper and Gijs van Lennep.

The car carried number 18 and was painted psychedelic yellow, orange and red for LeMans.

Piper and van Lennp were in 3rd place at the 4th and 5th hours.

A blown tire damaged the bodywork causing retirement from the race in the 10th hour.

The car finished 2nd in points for the 1970 interseries Championship.

The roof-mounted mirror was unique to this car.

The car was retired at the end of 1970 and some parts were used to complete a spyder chassis acquired for the 1971 season.

The car was white when Don Marsh brought it to Charlie.  It was unknown that it was the race car until Charlie stripped it down.

A miniature of the 917 has been made and can be purchased on the internet.
