1974 PORSCHE IROC CARRERA 3.0 RSR

The ex-Mark Donohue – Daytona winner

One of only fifteen cars specially built by Porsche in 1973 for the inaugural 1973-1974 IROC, International Race of Champions, series at Riverside, USA.

A one-make televised race series conceived by Roger Penske, in which twelve championship title-winning drivers from the various top areas of motorsport, including Formula One, SCCA, Indycar and Nascar, competed together in identically prepared Porsche 3.0 IROC RSR’s for $175,000 total prize money – $43,000 going to the Daytona finale winner.

Orange Chassis # 911 460 0090 – was first raced at Riverside in 1973 during the three elimination rounds, driven by Roger McCluskey, Denny Hulme and A.J Foyt. It was then one of just six cars to go through to the final held at Daytona – winning the race in the hands of Mark Donohue.
