Brickyard Legends Team present : Porsche 911 Carrera RSR IMSAThe Porsche Carrera RS has been introduced in the US road racing scene in 1973. The first race of such a car was to happen at Daytona in 1973. This race was the first of the World Sportscar Championship and it faced true racing Prototypes as Matra, Mirage and Lola. Two brand new Carreras were entered by Brumos Racing and Penske Racing. The drivers were Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood on the Brumos car and Mark Donohue and George Follmer on the Penske car. After eight hours of grueling fight between the two sister cars and the retirement of every works prototype car, the Brumos car took the lead of the race and were fighting for overall victory! The Brumos car eventually won the race and had set the Carrera's future in a significative way. From that moment, the Carrera began to dominate the series when introduced in IMSA racing. For 1973,1974 and 1975 the car was the IMSA Champion with Peter Gregg.The 1976 season would be the first season a Porsche Carrera did not win the IMSA Championship. It would be the last year the Porsche Carrera would win as much races. Clearly, the cars suffered from a lack of power. Porsche had already built a new car that would replace it.The car was not over in 1977 as it began successfully the 1977 season by winning the 24 Hours of Daytona. Driven by John Graves-Dave Helmick and Hurley Haywood, the car defeated the Porsche 935 turbos to win one of its last great international success. The 12 Hours of Sebring was the very last with George Dyer and Brad Frisselle at the wheel. The two drivers finished five laps ahead of Diego Febles and Hiram Cruz in a similar car. The Porsche Carrera would prove its lack of hp in the shorter events. At Road Atlanta, John Paul was the best finisher in his lightened car, which sported a high wing, but he could do no better than seventh. Even when highly modified, it seemed that, in 1977, the cars would be simply outpowered.Credits :- simbin for the Porsche 911RSR- papag21 : 3d, mapping, file structure, skins- greg7 : physics- kiwisteve : template, skins- hkhoy : skins- Ned : skins- hpiracer : skins- Ralf1973 : skins- rallymaster : testingwe would like to thank DucFreak for his 911 sounds found here : http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=16148The mod has no sounds included!!!Installation instructions:- extract folder to X:/GTL/Gamedata/Teams/GTC-TC-76Enjoy
