FERDI PORSCHE ARCHITEKT DRIVERS
Stopping at the Fuschertörl restaurant at an elevation of 2,407 metres, the two drivers take off the wool caps that protect them from the icy wind. Both the drivers and the cars are very clearly in their element on this challenging mountain stretch. Two Porsche 550 Spyders – a rare pair of the first Porsche sports cars to write racing history in the 1950s.
