I have a lot of interesting magazine articles about all sorts of great cars. I thought i might share some of them here. If there is enough interest i will scan some more and post them up, so let me know if you enjoy reading this kind of thing.

First up i present the mighty Porsche 917/30 Can-Am race car from the era of excess power in the 1970's.

Please enjoy. :)

Thank you for sharing this great article. I'm really looking forward to read some more articles like that.
 
Not a problem. Thanks for the positive response.

Does anyone think i posted this in the wrong section? Would it be better to put this stuff in General Automotive?
 
Yes thats what I thought, thanks. The cars from this era are unique and what they did with the technology that was available at the time was incredible. If a car was made like this today with the same performance it would still be considered amazing, but back then... well it is nothing short of insane.

I have some other great Can-Am cars from the 1960s-1970s group 6 and group 7 categories that i will scan and put up.

All respect to the hero's who used to drive these cars.

Can I ask which magazine is this from?
 
It's an australian publication called "Race" Magazine. It wasn't very popular, i don't know if it's still on sale.

I will have to see what other cool cars i have articles on.
