Since that day david piper linked his life forever to 917,and also today he drives it in historical classic races. ![]() ![]() ![]() The porsche was almost completely destroyed,and later rebuild. The crash u have looked in the movie was a real crash done by a british GREAT Pilot named David Piper.During the make up of this movie David was asked to simulate a crash using the 917 drived in the movie by Steve mc queen(steeve was not a 917 driver in reality.).They asked this to him cause he was the greatest experience pilot in 917 driving(he was one of the few able to beat in Silverstone a Sir named Jim Clark.and I believe this is enough.).įor that movie Porsche gave maximum assistance and provide full car service,cause they want to be part of one of the few NICE movie about cars(only in my opinion is better Grand Prix.).ĭavid in that crash lost a part of his lag,due to the front suspension coming inside cockpit.
