Una mirada a las 24 Horas de Daytona de 1981
The 1981 edition of the 24 Hours of Daytona was fiercely contested, with teams battling not just each other but also the grueling demands of a full day’s racing. The Porsche 935 K3 #5, fielded by Bob Akin Motor Racing, showcased resilience and performance, completing 695 laps. This achievement placed them just behind the race winners, Garretson Racing’s Porsche 935 K3/80, which completed 708 laps.

La alineación de pilotos era una mezcla de experiencia y habilidad. Bob Akin, un piloto veterano y propietario del equipo, aportó liderazgo y tenacidad. Craig Siebert añadió profundidad al equipo con su destreza al volante. La incorporación de Derek Bell, una leyenda británica del automovilismo con múltiples victorias en Le Mans y Daytona, elevó la ventaja competitiva del equipo.
The Porsche 935 K3: Engineering Excellence
Developed by Kremer Racing, the Porsche 935 K3 was an evolution of the 935 series, incorporating advanced aerodynamics and engineering refinements. Its twin-turbocharged flat-six engine delivered formidable power, while its distinctive bodywork improved downforce and stability. The #5 car, adorned with the iconic Coca-Cola livery, became a symbol of both performance and style on the track.
