The crowd of spectators is enormous, the number of participating vehicles reaches record levels. 60 to 70 cars are not uncommon. This is mainly due to the increasingly intensive commitment of the Porsche company, which not only competes with numerous works cars, but also provides the majority of the privately registered vehicles. Porsche is desperate for overall victory, but it is only in the second half of the decade that they have the entry vehicles needed to achieve this. The range of Stuttgart sports cars and prototypes in the 1960s extends from the 718RS to the 904, the 906, the 910 and the 907\/908 versions to the 917, which is unloved at the N\u00fcrburgring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1967, the time had come for four Type 910 factory cars to finish the race in first place. The following year, it was enough for a double victory, and in 1969, no fewer than five Type 908 cars finished in the top positions. Porsche was unbeatable at the N\u00fcrburgring in those years. Many people are sure to remember the names of the works drivers of the time: Jo Siffert, Vic Elford, Hans Herrmann, Rolf Stommelen, Gerhard Mitter, Kurt Ahrens, Brian Redman and many more.<\/p>\n
