So today is the official birthday of the Porsche 917, one of the greatest race cars of all time.  I’ve put a series of clips together as a YouTube playlist for your Friday afternoon enjoyment.  (Try doing a play all here, and let it ride out on your secondary display while you work FTW!)

The playlist includes a couple insightful documentaries, a short on Pedro Rodriguez’s infamous drive in heavy rain at Brands Hatch, possibly my favorite segment of “Le Mans” (I love when the music kicks in!), a documentary about an immaculate restoration of the car from “Le Mans”, and a little look at the Can Am turbo version.

Sorry about some of the terrible aspect ratios, normally i’m a real stickler for that stuff but I guess it’s just part of the YouTube aesthetic.

Enjoy!
