The rear wing on the 944 is not far removed from the 917 wing, and must look fearsome from inside. Is that the only rear wing of it’s type? I believe it is the only wing of it's type and wasn't used in competition as it produced to much drag, yes it does look awesome in the rear view mirror !!

Skidmarks Posted 25October, 2019 Report Share Posted 25October, 2019 This post is a little off topic but I have a couple of boxes of VHS tapes of pretty all of the Porsche Cup Races from the 90’s. I want to get them digitised. Any ideas on how best to do this? Harold996tt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be places you could go who would convert them for you and you just pay to do it. But not sure if there is still many of these places around locally. 14 minutes ago, LeeM said: Expect a very lengthy reply mate.

Would be great to know if you had anything in your library on the car. It’s only a middle of the pack car, but it was there.

Honestly if you did this on and early long hood 911 I dont think anyone would now if it was factory or a modification due to there being such a huge variety of factory cars configured all differently during the early 70,s ,,,to most people it would just be another 911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 26October, 2019 Report Share Posted 26October, 2019 @TINGY996 If the cops pulled anyone for that when a Turbo has probably a similar size flares, then they need their heads read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fitted with rear wing from 924 Le Mans GTR prototype that was tested by Jacki Ickx @ Paul Ricard Circuit & GTR doors . Photo's from John Bowe drive for Unique cars Magazine . Sold it back to Alan about 5 years ago then bought it back a couple of years later ! This car is also the 1994 Targa Tasmania outright winner !! Watched this car compete in the Tassie Targa and saw it gathering dust in a Melbourne workshop just before Craig bought it. Have a photo of Allan Hamilton driving it at the old Morewell Hill Climb. craiggt3rs and Harold996tt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross's car had the front fiber bumper stoved in while Allen's car only had light scratches. "What's it made of" asked Ross as he kicked Allans rear bumper - only to hear the ring of steel.

It was a time of true innovation at the grass roots level by all where there wasn't the extreme levels of factory support and excessive regulation that began to creep in year on year as the regulatory bodies became more and more guided by business. 23 minutes ago, Jason A said: My ex GT40 replica ran a G50 inverted.
