RM notes “That was always the fun of coming up behind a 911 variant on track.”

 

Picture this – 1978 Lemans – The Porsche 935’s twin KKK turbos were getting beaten right at the end of the Mulsanne Straight.  After the race, Porsche guys talked with Renault team and asked them how they always managed to snooker them at that corner.  Easy was the reply – going down Mulsanne Straight you turbos turn white hot.  When our driver saw them go from white to yellow to orange - - - we knew you were off the gas.  Voila.  Snooker.
