HISTORY

The Porsche 936-77 n.4 is the winning car of the 24 Hours of Le Mans of 1977. After the victory of the year before with the Porsche 936 n.20 the German manufacturer had to defend itself from the assault of the Renault that with its Alpine A442 was determined to win Le Mans before devoting himself fully to Formula 1.

Jurgen Barth, Jacky Ickx, Hurley Haywood won the 1977 Le Mans 24 Hours with the Porsche 936-77 n.4, taking advantage of the withdrawals of all four Renault A442 lines. Barth did the last two laps of the race after being stuck in the pits for forty minutes and I crossed the finish line with the engine in smoke due to a broken piston. The Belgian rider started the race with the Porsche n.3, but the team-mate Pescarolo returned to the pits with the engine broken after 45 laps, the two drivers were moved on to the two crews still in the race. In second place with a gap of eleven laps came the Mirage GR8 n.10 of Schuppan and Jarier, while in third place the Porsche 935 n.40 of Ballot-Lena and Gregg at twenty seven laps.
