	Porsche 917 - History
		The favoritisms in the odds oscillated between the mighty celestial blue Porsches of John Wyer´s Team, and the surprise enemy embodied in the blue Ferrari of the Sunoco Team, in charge of the North American Mark Donohue and the Englishmen David Hobbs.
		It was then, when Wyer´s team made its first mistake: Siffert´s car ran out of gasoline far from the pit area; and the Swiss grabbed a small motorcycle and headed for the pits.
		As balance is that the powerful team of John Wyer lost its undefeated status, undergoing a serious misfortune, since, it was even surpassed by less powerful cars, like the Alfa Romeo 33/3.This agrees with what had already been glimpsed in Daytona when the official 917´s won, although unconvincingly.
