1964 Porsche 904/6

This car took part in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers Race for Pre 1966 GT Cars and Pre 1963 Sports Cars at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.

It's Burkhard von Schenk's 1964 Porsche 904/6 and he shared the driving in this race with Robertino Wild. The 1963 Porsche 904 of 1993 had a 1,966cc flat-4 engine, but the 904/6 had an engine of 1,996cc that was derived from the 911's flat-6 unit.

On 2 May 2015 I showed a photograph of this car that I had taken at Donington Park in 2004.

This car competed in the 90 minute long Historic Motor Racing News Gentlemen Drivers GT And Sports Endurance Race at the HSCC's Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2005.

It's Irvine Laidlaw's 1965 Porsche 904/6, and he shared the driving in this race with James Diffey. The original Porsche 904, introduced in 1964 had a 1,966cc flat-four engine but the 1965 car had a variant of the Porsche 911's flat-six engine of 1,991cc. A few cars were built with a flat-eight engine of 1,962cc based on the engine of the 1962 804 F1 car. Irvine Laidlaw's car is chassis 906-012 and was originally a Porsche works car that took part in the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hour race driven by Günter Klass and Dieter Glemser, but it failed to finish, retiring after 16 hours with a broken camshaft.

Porsche 904/6

This is a car which took part in the 2¼ hour long Gentleman Drivers GT and Sports Endurance Race at the Donington International Historic Grand Prix meeting in May 2004 at Donington Park.

It's a 1964 Porsche 904/6 owned by Burkhard von Schenk and carries his customary black and white chequered marking on the nose of the car. The original 904 used the 1996cc flat-four Porsche engine but a limited number of cars were produced using a variant of the 911's flat-six engine of the same capacity.

Burkhard von Schenk drove the car in the race at this meeting with Gregor Fisken as his co-driver.
