Born for the rally

I still remeber the day that I asked Robert to prepare
my street legal 914/6 2.0L for the Group 4 Rally, he
asked me for some time to decide wether to do it or not,
being he a 911 lover. After only two days he called me
back to confirm me his intention:
he accepted the challenge, and a true challenge it was.

Not only because it was the “first” time he worked on this
specific model, but also because the historic fiches of
omologation didn’t allow any modifcation.

In fact, Porsche itself had never moved forward with the
project since the year 1970. Robert and his team created
a new rally car, a beautiful beast was born.

Unique car of exceptional beauty

My 914/6 was the rarest and most admired Porsche
in the whole rally circuit.

Extraordinary engine, great torque and infinite
reliability. Pity for the brakes, too little and
undersized:
Porsche had not yet approved “big” calipers.
The first races were used to test and develop
some little details but the car wasn’t competitive
yet, mainly for the gearbox.
I didn’t have a great feeling with the car at the
beginning, I didn’t understand her strange behavior
until Robert managed to create the most perfect
setup for my driving style.

Once Robert settled all these details I had no
more problems to do better than the various
cars of my category, from the Alpine Renault 110
to the Fiat Abart 124 rally.

I’d say they definitely won the bet!
Thanks to Robert, Bruno, Ted and also to Lorena
who regularly sends me bills to pay.
