It’s 1970, and northern France is being pounded by heavy rain. Of the dozens of starters at that year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, only seven remain. The leading three are built by a manufacturer that has never won the race before. Richard Attwood and Hans Herrmann’s Porsche Salzburg 917K crosses the finish line five laps ahead of the rest, beginning a run that to date includes nineteen outright wins, making Porsche the most successful manufacturer in Le Mans history.

This fantastic Speed Champions homage to that first victory comes from SFH_Bricks of Flickr, whose Porsche Salzburg 917K includes a tremendous replica livery courtesy of Brickstickershop. Building instructions are available and you can head to a soaking Circuit de la Sarthe fifty-six years ago via the link above.
