On
March 21, 1970, the greatest drivers and racecars in the
world gathered at an old WW II airfield in the middle of
Florida orange groves to participate in the 12 Hours of Sebring
- Andretti, Gurney, Ickx, Redman, Rodriguez, Siffert, Parkes,
Elford, Cevert. Porsche 917's, Ferrari 512's, Matra 650's,
Alfa Romeo T-33's. |

Little
did they know that they were about to particpate in, what
some have called, "one of the most exciting endurance
races ever."
Against the
might of the factory teams, an out-classed Porsche 908
driven by Peter Revson and Steve McQueen suddenly found
itself in a position to win the race. What transpired at
the end is now a part of motor racing legend.
Take a trip
back in time as the story of this memorable race is told
through photographs and the remembrances of people who
were there. |
