The Backstory:
The 24 Hours of Le Mans 1979 took place with 55 cars participating. Contrary to expectations, the "traditional" Porsche models finished ahead of the turbo ones. After the works Porsche 936s dropped out, three private 935s took all the podium places at this special race. The fastest 935 was entered by the brothers Erwin and Manfred Kremer, with Klaus Ludwig putting in a stunning performance in the Kremer-Porsche. Rolf Stommelen in Dick Barbour’s Porsche 935 bearing the start no. 70 were 2nd. What made their position all the more sensational was the third member of their team: the world-famous Hollywood actor Paul Newman.
