1、2号917K出现这个事故并非在1971年daytona24上,网上资料略显混乱,这个导致右前侧损坏的事故发生于1971年的sebring赛百灵12小时比赛中。
On the back part of the course, before entering turn 9, Donohue caught up to and was passing the Porsche of Pedro Rodriguez when contact was made. According to Donohue, Rodriguez hit his car three times causing significant damage to both. Coming out of the turn they slowed then continued to the pits to assess the damage leaving numerous bits of fiberglass and headlight glass in their wake.
Both cars entered pit road with the Porsche ahead of the Ferrari by several car lengths. Rodriguez drove right into the Penske pit area. In his bi-weekly serial called Don’t Wash Me car owner Kirk F. White, who was there in the Penske pits, describes what he saw and heard. “He (Rodriguez) threw up the door of the 917 and shouted at Penske saying, “You’ driver a loco gringo!” Mark came limping in behind Rodriguez. Painfully getting out of the car, he was utterly dejected. Roger did something he never did before. He used profanity in public. In a fit of justifiable temper, he shouted at Mark: “I told you not to f**k with Rodriguez!” Poor Mark’s face fell even further.”
与我相关的特别值得一提的是,两车相撞的法拉利一方的2位车手,其中一位是David Hobbs。Hobbs参加F1并未取得能提到上桌面的成绩,但我仍然有一台其仅仅驾驶过2次的M23等待制作:

田宫这款再版后水贴部分只保留了Hobbs的部分,去除了Mike Hailwood的部分。
