Le Mans Winning Porsche 936 Returns to Racing at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit: Video 
Le Mans winning 936
This particular Porsche won Le Mans in 1976 and 1977.  It was then retired to the Porsche Museum. In 1981, Porsche pulled the 936 out of retirement, entered it into Le Mans with Derek Bell and Jacky Ickx as drivers and took the checkered flag for the win! The video above, narrated by Porsche's Historic Motorsport Head Klaus Bischof, recounts this story and its subsequent road to the podium at the  Phillip Island Grand Prix in March of 2013.  Click here, or the image above, to watch the video yourself

The first thing you might ask yourself is, What's a Parkour Athlete? The second is why are they racing a Porsche?  Unfortunately, this video doesn't answer either of those questions, but we do!  Worth a watch if for nothing else other than entertainment value.  Whatever you do, make sure you check out the road driven by the Porsche about 5 minutes in.  It has to be one of the best driving roads in the world and on our bucket list of roads to drive.
