Kramer 911ST's, 908's and 917's -- The year must by 1971!

[jluetjen]

I revisited the Sudschleif web site recently and found that it now includes a video of the 1971 300 K race (last video on the bottom). In addition to the cars listed above, there's also some great footage of other cars and drivers from the era.

Enjoy!

That was cool. Love the dominance of the 911 in their run group. I don't know if that is a combined class but those 4 ST's were gone!

btw, did you see the picture of the white "ST" at 1:59 on the video. It looks like a SWB car that had later flares installed. That or they were running some serious toe-in on the rear.

Thanks John!

What a blast! Great shots of the 2002s.

And what is the pace car for the Porsche race? Looked like a Mercedes 600 Grosser!

Thanks for that link. Very cool.

I did a little more searching and found these results for those races. I could have sworn that one of the drivers with the curly hair was Ralf Stommelen, but maybe I'm wrong. Here's a picture of Ralf.

Def. Rolf Stommelen. Cursed with clown hair.

Sure does!

dumb question, but do other people have sound? I assume this was recorded on a non-sound-capable Super 8.

Shucks, there were some Chevrons and Chaparral's "shakin there thang" too. (alliteration)

Great old film.

Great post - some wonderful period footage there!

Was that Hans Stuck getting into the BMW 2002?

Don't miss the 1960 sidecar race, those riders are really amazing.

Unfortunately -- no sound. It was filmed on Super-8. Remember this was the '70's!

(PS: Funny, I don't remember the 70's having such a rose colored tint to them, but then my dad insists that he remembers that the 40's existed in color!

I think that he's pulling my leg! )

I noticed the same thing. I think it was Stommelen in the film....Wasn't his name spelled Rolf? Regradless, he was one of the greatest Porsche drivers of all time. He was one who made it look easy and most always brought the car home in one piece.

Cool Clips. Thanks,

Don

okay, how can I convert that so I can watch it on my MAC? Is there a .wmv viewer I can use?
