The Can-Am Porsche 917
The Can-Am Race Series, held from 1966 to 1974, helped propel professional sports car racing to new heights of popularity in the United States. The series was governed by an open and simple set of rules, which created an environment that brought the most powerful and fastest sports cars to race tracks around the United States and Canada.
These liberal rules fostered technical innovations in engines, suspension, chassis design, aerodynamics and tires.
