THE WAR MACHINE Published by Team Unicorn Many motor racing enthusiasts believe the Porsche 917 to be the greatest racing car of all time. This can be debated, but there is no argument that this is the car that made Porsche a major player in the world of motorsports. The 917 was the car that won Le Mans the first time for Porsche in 1970. Introduced at the 1969 Geneva Auto Show and outlawed by the FIA for the 1972 season this Group 5 Super Car enjoyed a short life as champion but its reputation is legend. Motorsports photojournalist Hal Crocker was there when the 917 took to the track in anger. His award-winning words and photographs are a trip back in time. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the 917, The War Machine book and calendar showcases images from, When Giants Raced, a book underway by Hal Crocker, that features the 917 and the men who made it epic. www.teamunicorn.com © 2009 Hal Crocker Creative Direction: Nancy Suttles • • • http://www.teamunicorn.comshapeimage_2_link_0
