The driver of that McLaren M6A is still going strong. Lothar Motschenbacher (center) and Electric Dreams’ Scott Bader (left) were among the honored guests at the 2015 Can­-Am reunion. Now you can drive Lothar’s car (but probably not quite as well as he did).

Can-Am and Formula 5000 fans watched Lothar run with the best drivers of the day. He was a consistent top finisher in Can-Am point standings in 1966-1972 and competed successfully in Formula 5000 (the series for open-wheel cars with fuel injected detroit V8 power plants). Lothar was a privateer going up against the big boys with more money, bigger teams, and state of the art components! It was a great pleasure to meet Lothar personally and have a chance to hear of his exploits in the Can-Am series! Who knows where he would have been in the driver history books if he had the big bucks $$$?

Carrera 27498 Porsche 917K Martini International “No.2”, Kyalami 6h 1970—PRE-ORDER NOW!

In the movie LeMans, starring the Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, the Porsche 917 K played a role almost as legendary as that of the actor himself. However, the real life no.2 driven by Jo Siffert and Kurt Aharens was a thoroughbred winner. Its reputation as one of the most successful racing cars of the 1970s was partly earned in the 9-hour race in Kyalami on the African continent, in which the short-tail version of the car proved unbeatable. Overall, the 917 racked up more victories than any other car in the 5-liter class..
