Yep

Marc Richardson agree, the car is priceless and ! You dont take anything to the race track unless you can throw it away, number one rule in racing , plus it's Spa, the only risk is actually passing a much slower 512BB on anyone of the ridiculously long straights... Too much to ask? another reason why some historic racing is BS, better to display the cars and take pictures, this is Akin to watching 60 yr old Olympians run the 100M in 12 seconds ..

+Marc Richardson Relax skippy, they are more of this cars out there, he drove like a pussy , that's all ! Next time don't enter the race !

+Mark J Um...no. Porsche only built two 935/78s. One was a developmental mule, the other was this car, the only one to see actual competition. It only saw four races during its day, winning once, then was promptly retired and stored away in Porsche's own collection. For all intent and purposes, this is the only one of its kind, factory-built and to see action on the race track. If you don't think the folks who own this car cautioned the driver to take it easy, then you don't know just how precious Porsche regards their own history. It may make for boring watching, but then historic races are primarily about the cars, their history, the heritage and NOT about actual in-the-moment competition. Because in the end, few will ever remember who actually won this race.

+993isgawd Leave it in the museum , cant damage Miss precious there .....

Some people are just too thick to grasp even this basic concept, but thank you for trying anyway.

yeah its like one of the fuel pumps is giving up the ghost under high boost, but yeah defiantly not good at all.

u can also see the O2 sensor readout above the wheel going lean

Well.. it's not lethal. It just stops. Cooling or oil pressure on the other hand damages the engine if they fail.

In watching it again , i do agree he had an issue, not engine , prior to slowing the car pushed out way pass the apex, twice , i guess he slowed due to an issue .... My apologies Ortelli ....

pushing out of the apex is what the 935 excelled at. Took a very different approach of driving to move those beasts fast.

Trust you'll approve of my comment above,just now??

Also won Le Mans 1998, with the factory Porsche 911 GT1-98. Just saying...

Its an understeering pig which makes the track look too small for it. Suspect tyres. That said, he still lacks rhythm with it here.

he knows what is he doing.. he does not want to break the car in the first two laps

@@markbojanjac6805 no it is low fuel pressure at higher revs

I remember Rolf winning the Datona 24 hours in one of these cars. That's the type of track the 935 dominated, the closing speed on other cars was just ridiculous.

Why's he Piloting it then? Use it as intended for goodness sake-Pussyfooting!!! He dropped 6 spots in less than 1/3rd of lap!!!

Steven Anderson a Museum car must be handled carefully I see your point though.

This car is priceless. He is going to drive with EXTREME CARE. I was at Laguna Seca at the Historics once and on the first lap, two rare BMW's crashed into a rare corvette. Then, a rare BMW had an engine failure. First lap and four classic cars ruined.

I feel for the driver, I would be frustrated if I was him. These cars were meant to be raced, its strange to see them being driven like this :/

the legend became cursed because of itself, it wont be driven as it should because of his priceless value

Me too ha ha

If not to be driven on it's limit n in Anger,then Mothball it! What a shame for it not to be leaving all in it's Wake.....Come on people let Moby 'vent' !!
