including film scene “Le Mans”: actor Steve McQueen
stands left behind 917 and prepares for his start.

Homage to McQueen and David Piper & Co.

Steve McQueen waits patiently as the John Wyer team's Porsche 917K pulls into the pits at the 1970 Le Mans race. In the film ""Le Mans,"" which only partially reflects the actual course of the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, McQueen's character"&", Michael Delaney, crashes his 917 before helping the team clinch the overall victory. In reality, it was Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood who recorded the first overall victory for Porsche in the history books at Le Mans with their Team Salzburg 917K, w"&"hile McQueen's Gulf-Porsche with starting number 20, actually driven by Jo Siffert and Brian Redman, retired with engine problems.
