Back in 1990 I toured the Zuffenhausen factory within a group of Porsche enthusiasts. It was nice and funny noticing that someone had stuck a C a r r e r a script on the rear panel of one of their own (Porsche-designed) Linde forklifts.

So Porsche designed the transaxle of the MS670 or MS680, that’s pretty interesting!

Yup! Definitely a history lesson reading through all of these.

It does seem like modern day Germany does not shy away from remembering this history in order to never repeat it. It’s sad to hear of pockets of this hatred that still exists (there, and everywhere...) . The Jüdisches Museum in Berlin really affected me when we visi ted. I wonder how the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart handles this. There’s a lot of history that they can be proud of, but you can’t really talk about this without also talking about the early connection to the Third Reich.

Around ten years ago a friend of mine used to work with a rather eccentric gent who was very much into wheeling and dealing with old cars and old car parts. From time to time he would invite us to have dinner with him - he could cook a mean curry - and afterwards the conversation would obviously steer towards cars... rather special ones.

O ne night, after a particular fiery Vindaloo supper, he nodded in my direction and said “I have something here that I want to show you”. He then produced a sort of blueprint, drawn with ink and pencil on extremely thin Manila paper. Once unfolded you could clearly see the outline of Le Mans, with little figures, in pencil, all over the track, particularly before corners.

He explained those were the original notes by Porsche engineers for the Matra team (therefore ‘74 or ‘75), with the right revs/speeds for every gear in every corner of the racetrack. He said a friend of his, very much into serious Porsche stuff, had given it to him fairly recently.

From similar extraordinary anecdotes (some about the man himself, referred by third parties) I have no reason to doubt that thin piece of paper was the real deal.

The Germans are very good in recognising their mistakes, which I really appreciate of them.

I’m really curious about that too, as well as how the other German brands deal with it in their museums. I guess I’ll find out in 2 weeks time though, as I’m going there (and to BMW Welt) with some other Oppo’s as part of our Alpine roadtrip.

That’s an extremely cool story! I would imagine someone at some point decided to keep that for future reference, and it somehow survived all those years.

09/11/2018 at 16:20

The best part is that the person who originally had that map of Le Mans was going to c h u c k it into the rubbish. Fortunately the other guy saw it just in time and asked if he could keep it.

Lord knows what kind of treasures did go into the rubbish in the end.

I am not so sure. Some digital media are notoriously fragile after a few years (CD-ROMs, for example). Digital standards change very quickly too, so even if you have the files you may be stuck with some incompatible hardware, etc.

Keeping for posterity the mountain of data we have created in the last 25 years is already a t r e m e n d o u s headache. And don’t even get me started with the Internet.
