Porsche 24 Hour fun facts...
Porsche celebrates the 50th anniversary of its first overall win at the Rolex 24 this weekend. Vic Elford, who teamed with Jochen Neerpasch, Rolf Stommelen, Jo Siffert and Hans Herrmann for victory in the 1968 race with a Porsche 907 LH, will be on-site for the celebrations.
***The German manufacturer holds a record 22 overall wins in the race, the most recent coming in 2010 with Action Express Racing’s Porsche-powered Riley DP. Remarkably, Porsche has a 70 percent class win record, totaling 78 class victories in the Florida endurance classic.
