          • One of these 904s was one of two 8 cylinders engined ones? Do you remember which one and how it got on?

            • I did not knew that 1 off the 904 had a 8 cylinders
              On the official program they are all noted as 1964 904 GTS except the US car race number 45 who did the practice and the qualification on Friday but did not raced Saturday and Sunday noted as 1965 904 GTS

              • Just found that pic of a 904 with an 8 cylinders engine but that was 2 years ago in 2012
                May be this car was again there this year
                Difficult to know what engine are in these racing cars
                I remember that last year the car to win historical races in France was the 914/6
                6 off 914/6 were entered into the Tour de France auto including one prepared by Andy Prill/maxted Page
                Following a complaint from several other competitors the organizer decided to check the conformity of all the 914/6 (they are supposed to have a 2.0 L engine)and 4 off the 6 914/6 were retired from the competition by their owner
                The rumour was they had all 4 a 2.6 engine

                  • Well the 904 / 8 car was certainly there because I spoke to the driver as he was waiting for qualifying.

                    Your story about the 904 / 6 having a large engines makes sense. I was wondering why the 904/8 wasn't competitive compared to the 904/6.

                    However, someone from DDK has built a very nice 904/6 clone and it has a 2.5l engine in it and it goes very well.

                    • They were 2 more grids :
                      grid 5 cars from 1966 to 1971
                      grid 6 cars from 1972 to 1979

                      with of course many Porsches in both grids

                      Some examples for the fun only
