Great photo!  Makes you realise how much Porsche spent on sports car racing.  Look at them all!

Just finished John Wyer's (of Gulf racing/GT40 and later "how to make a 917 a Leman's winner" fame.) excellent autobiography. 

What struck me particularly was the year before Wyer/Gulf "took over" the factory racing effort Porsche built 52 race cars that year and still ran second in the championship to what Wyer's team achieved with 3 and more often only 2 private GT40's! 

Ferry Porsche engaged him as he thought they could save some money by having Wyer run the race team.
