Abstract : Le Mans 1970 from a different angle: Porsche in person, behind the scenes - and in black and white. This exquisitely illustrated book of photographs shows many previously unpublished pictures before and after a triumph that has shaped the history of the company to this day. For 14 days around the 24 hours and the legendary triple victory, photographer Klaus Reichert accompanied the Porsche and Piech families, the racing cars and drivers, the engineers and mechanics. Quotes, excerpts from documents and background information provide insights into the meticulous planning and strategy with which Porsche achieved the final breakthrough in motor racing.
