The practice 917 being driven by Jo Siffert prior to the collision with the dune buggy on the infield course. This car finished fourth at Sebring six weeks later and was severely damaged in the making of the movie Le Mans. (Fred Lewis photo)

When the poster says it's a day late April Fools, I think you should take their word of it - just say'n.

I liked the fake drag car photos, well done compared to the fake 917 stuff.

Somehow a dune buggy is on the race track at the same time as a Porsche 917 is real, now that blows my mind. :D

It was a real event, but composite photo put together to tell the story of a crash between a dune buggy and a Porsche 917.

Just an example of when people take the time to clarify their intent in a professional manner.

The guy making these fake 917 photos is a friend of mine. He is also the writer of the article in Sports Car Digest, Lou Galanos. He's been doing it for years on 4/1. These pics show up on other forums and guys swear they are real. All in good fun for Lou.

P34's basic concept was to use a tyre that would be small enough to fit entirely behind the wing. This would have two effects; one would be to lower overall drag and thus improve speed on straights, and the other was to clean up overall aerodynamics so the rear wing would receive cleaner airflow.[2]
