    Monza . . .

    '. . . In October 1967, Jo Siffert and his Swiss teammates had travelled to Monza to break some high-speed world distance records established by Ford and Toyota. Unfortunately, their Porsche 906’s suspension soon proved unable to survive long distances on the bumpy Italian circuit. To save the day, a Porsche 911 R was immediately despatched from Germany to take the place of the 906. That 911 R provided the Swiss team with five new long-distance world records – including the 20,000km at an average speed of 209km/h. Only later did the team discover that the engine of the record car was not a freshly refurbished unit, as they had thought, but one which had already spent 100 hours in a flat-out test round the factory’s test track at Weissach . . .'

    He was in this Yardley/BRM when I saw him at Watkins Glen in 1970. I'm not sure where this picture was taken.

    Jim, I think you'll find that you saw Siffert in the Yardley at the Glen in March of '71 ... And I believe that pic was taken at the same race....

    BTW- I saw him 5 months later at the Road America CanAm...
