The 928’s 40th anniversary - Retirement plan

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Richard Attwood, Porsche’s first ever overall winner at Le Mans in 1970, is now 77 years old. Normally, that’s the stage of life where most of us mortals are thinking about what colour slippers we should be wearing. But for a man who’s raced everything from a 917K to a Triumph TR3A via 908s and Formula One, retirement isn’t even a consideration.

And so here we find him, not only competing at Oulton Park in a #928, but #racing it hard. He’s already had some cracking results this season, including a podium finish at Silverstone in the first outing. And this weekend he’s competing in the Historic Sports Car Club’s iconic Gold Cup weekend in the 70s Road Sports race, up against everything from a Morgan Plus 8 to an MG B.

The 928’s 40th anniversary

The reason the car is here is easy. It’s the 928’s 40th #anniversary and #porsche being #porsche, the only way to celebrate that sort of milestone is to get one out of retirement and go #racing.
