In the last episode of Porsche Moments, host Timo Bernhard meets Fritz Enzinger again.
The third Le Mans overall victory in succession was almost impossible to believe for Porsche in 2017. Early on the Saturday evening, the 919 Hybrid with starting number 2 had to be repaired for more than an hour before it could continue the race. After changing the electric machine, the vehicle was in 56th place, and a finish in the leading positions seemed unthinkable at the time. But giving up was not an option. Hours later, the sports car manufacturer made it onto the podium and was able to look back on 108 class victories and 19 overall victories at Le Mans.
70 years after the first class victory, the Porsche Heritage and Museum department is devoting its attention to “The Porsche success story in Le Mans”. In six episodes, the “Porsche Moments” series looks at the world’s most prestigious endurance race with fascinating contemporary witnesses and anecdotes. In the first and sixth episodes, Le Mans winner Timo Bernhard meets Fritz Enzinger, who led the brand to three overall victories in Le Mans as Vice President Motorsport. Walter Röhrl, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Norbert Singer give insights into what happened behind the scenes in four other episodes.
