Porsche 804 F1, 1.5 litre

G9887.JPG (43540 bytes)

Entered by Porsche AG Deutchland and driven by the Earl of March, this is an aircooled four cam, flat 8 engined car.

Dan Gurney won the 1962 French Grand Prix and the Solitude Grand Prix in one of these cars but  commented that the power and handling was similar to that of a VW Beetle. Possibly something of an exagerration.
