The 917 is one of the most successful and legendary racing cars of all time! Not least because of his leading role in the Steve McQueen “Le Mans” film.

This book presents the history of all Porsche 917s that were driven by the John Wyer / Gulf team in detail. With all chassis numbers and races.
The book also tells of the creation of the 917 and how the cooperation between Porsche, Gulf and JW Automotive Engineering came about - a partnership that was the measure of all things in the sports car world championships in 1970 and 1971 and won 11 of the 17 races. The history of the cars after the time is also described in Gulf colors.

"Gulf 917" was written with the assistance of JWAE Chief Engineer John Horsman and includes scans of his original datasheets for the cars and races.
