1971 Interserie Norisring 200 miles, Porsche 917 Spyder
The Interserie was an attractive championship. A mix of sports cars and prototypes battled in sprint races, often in 2 heats. Jürgen Neuhaus drove this beautiful Gelo Porsche Spyder to 2nd place in the 1st heat, he gave up in the 2nd. Reason was the fatal accident of Pedro Rodriguez in a Ferrari while leading the first race. This was a Gulf 917K in its previous life (chassis #026, damaged in Le Mans 1970), Porsche restored the car and transferred into a 917 Spyder and changed the chassisnumber to #030. Jürgen Neuhaus entered the car under his own name in 1971 but probably the car was already owned by Georg Loos by then.

1992 Nürburgring 24h, Porsche 911 Carrera RS.
It happens often that the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring doesn’t last the full 24-hours. Fog, snow and rain can be treacherous at the long and twisty circuit in the Eiffel forest. 1992 was such a year, the heavy rain made it almost impossible to race. One of the four star drivers of this near standard cup Porsche was rally-ace Walter Röhrl. At a certain moment in the pouring rain he was said to be a minute per lap faster than the leading DTM BMWs M3 evo. The race was red-flagged after 76 laps and never restarted, it was the shortest Nürburgring 24h until 2021. The factory supported DTM M3s were in a class of their own, this Porsche finished 3rd, then came a DTM Opel Omega 3000 and the next 10 cars in the end result were all Porsche 911 Carrera RS. The sister car #4 (see picture) finished in 43rd place, 11 laps behind.
