When starting the engine of an MT car, the gear is in neutral
Held at Pebble Beach on August 15, 2021Pebble Beach Concours d'EleganceThe Porsche 917 KH and a total of 13 other 917s gathered at the event.
Originally, this Porsche 917 should have gathered in 2020 last year.
That's because last year 2020 was exactly 50 years after the Porsche 917 won the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1970, so it was to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
However, since the event was canceled last year, 917 gathered this year in 2021, one year later. 51 years after 1970.
But I think this is also amazing, but in fact, Porsche 917 won the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1971, which is 50 years ago from 2021 this year! !!
Therefore, even if it is celebrated this year, it will still be a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the victory of the Le Mans 24-hour race 50 years ago.
I predicted that the 50th anniversary event would be canceled in Corona 50 years later, and I won the championship the following year so that it would be OK even 51 years later (no (laughs)).
As expected Porsche. The power to look to the future is too different. n/a.
By the way, this Porsche 917 car seems to have been recognized as a dangerous car because the driver's foot is in front of the center line of the front axle and the aero is unstable at the beginning.
And this time, another "dangerous" thing happened at this event, which is not bad for the 917 anymore ... but anyway, I'm glad that no one was injured, and the car itself hit. It wasn't damaged, so it's the best.
This is scary to see.
I thought that I would be run over by 917 as it is (it's okay because I can't be run over) ↓
At the eventPorsche 917 engine startIt seems that the person who tried to show me the engine was started with the 917 gear, which is a manual transmission, in 1st gear.
Oh, I'm surprised. I think that the other Porsche staff who would have been watching nearby were also drawn to the blood. I'm really glad I didn't have anything! !! !!
So, the person who was about to be run over was acting with a calm feeling of "OK!", And after that he properly put the gear back in neutral, started the engine of 917 and announced it to everyone safely. That is ^^
