Debut of a Legend: 1970 Daytona 24 Hours Race Report

Say no to Monetization @ buymeacoffee.c...
Race Report on the Porsche 917K's and Ferrari 512S's debut race - the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona. Apologies again for the lack of decent footage, if anyone has a copy of the ABC Wide World of Sports or similar newsreel footage that I'm convinced does exist somewhere (and that you're willing to share), please do get in touch. Credit to ‪@lucwerner‬ for requesting this particular race as the next Race Report video, I'll do my best to follow up on the others as time permits.

Side note. The Pesnke Javelin had 917 front brakes. That also meant The AMC performance catalog at the dealers covertly offered 917 brakes.

Pesnke ?....Hmmmmm strange brew

You know it's going to be a fantastic video when it starts with something other than agathokakological modernity.
That might be the most auspicious opening to a car racing video I've ever seen. Bravo.

Thank you!

Great video! The picture of the dune buggy racing the 917 killed me.

Thank you! Yeah I'm amazed that anyone looked at that entry and said "yes, this seems like a reasonable proposition"

[@billmoyer3254]

I grew up in Daytona. I saw this race and many others. I have the hearing damage to prove it

[@lenslr]

If you still live in the area, have you ever gone to the Historic races they host in late October/early November every year?

[@Gerodon]

Thank you for your hard work.
