Series III Illustration: PORSCHE 908/3
The Porsche 908/3 driven by Vic Elford and Hans Herrmann at the 54th Targa Florio in May 1970. There were 4 Porsche 908/3s entered in the race, JW Automotive Engineering brought three cars, and Porsche Salzburg Konstruktionen (the defacto Porsche factory team) entered the number 20 car. The 908/3 was designed by Porsche especially for use on just two corner-heavy tracks in the World Sportscar Championship, the Targa Florio and the Nürburgring. Vic Elford was fast in practice, but very early in the race he abruptly swerved to miss a rock in the road and broke the steering arm. Spectators pushed the Porsche off the track, and Elford spent the rest of the day enjoying the race and the hospitality of the fans. The JW Automotive Engineering Porsche’s finished in 1st, 2nd, and 5th positions. At the Nürburgring 1000km, the 908/3 again finished 1-2, with Vic Elford driving the winning car.
