    They really still had to work a lot with muscle strength. No serv and wide tires.
    But the weight wasn't that heavy.
    The 917 up to and including 917-10 and 917-30 only weighed 730 to 903 kg.

    Just think how much power the 917-30 produced because they were outgunning the McLaren M20 which clocked in at 690kg.

    The vehicle was further improved with the participation of Mark Donohue and engineer Helmut Flegl. The focus was particularly on the engine, which was enlarged to 5.4 liters and delivered 810 kW (1100 hp) at 7800 rpm. The maximum torque was 1098 Nm at 6400 rpm. On the test bench, the engine even developed 1156 kW (1570 hp) with a boost pressure of 2.24 bar. This engine in the 917/30 Spyder is still considered to be the most powerful machine ever used in a circuit race. [20]

    Hi,

    Any updates on this mod? One series that is clearly lacking is the Canam cars. I know GPL has them. An idea is to focus on the 1970-71 naturally aspirated cars. Even BoP if need be with 3 L, 5 L or 8 L variants using the cars chassis. Plenty of Chev's and Ford DFV's to choose from. Cars we haven't seen before March 707/717, Ferrari 712P, Shadow AVS MkI or MkII Chevrolet, BRM P154/167 Chevrolet, Chaparral 2J Chevrolet

    3L variants can just use the Ford DFV https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/spec/6350/McLaren-M8C-Cosworth.html
