Rennsport and Endurance Driving
"Speed is just one of the essential qualities of a racing
car. Reliability and stamina are the others." -
Racing: The Ultimate Proof (Porsche factory
booklet).
Reliable in extreme weather and road conditions, the 912
naturally excelled in professional rally racing. In
1967 the 912 took its place in Porsche rennsport history, when independent driver Sobieslaw Zasada of Poland drove
his factory-loaned 912 to
capture the
European Rally Championship for series Touring Cars
(noted in the center of the Porsche Racing Season 1967
poster shown at right).
Today, 912 and 912E competition cars appear in vintage
races, autocross, rally events, and hillclimbs.
As a vintage rally car, on January 29, 2012 Hayden
Burvill, Alastair Caldwell, and their #35 1968 Porsche
912 finished first in class, and 7th overall in the 2012
London to Cape Town World Cup Rally; a 14 country,
three continent, 14,000 kilometre, 26 driving-days
event. And in a non-racing charity fundraising drive, Max Levell completed an eighteen-country
2010 endurance drive from London to Saigon in a 1966
912.
