In this book, Porsche specialist, racing driver, engineer and professional writer Paul Frère examines, records and illustrates the development of the company’s sports racing cars produced and raced so successfully during the 1970s. These include the fabulous 917, developed over a number of years culminating in the 917/30, which is undeniably the fastest road racing car ever built; the Carrera and Carrera-Turbo; and the 934, 935 and 936 Turbos.

In writing this lavishly illustrated account of such a technical triumph, Paul Frère, because of his close personal association with the Porsche company’s management, research and development departments and the racing staff themselves, has been given their full cooperation and free access to their technical records and documents. The result is a thoroughly researched and authoritative work which will prove essential reading for all Porsche drivers and enthusiasts, motor racing technicians and designers and, indeed, all who appreciate fine engineering.

His unrivalled knowledge of the subject means that any Porsche book by Paul Frère is quickly assured of an enthusiastic readership and Porsche Racing Cars of the 70s is no exception.
