From the motorsport archive: Rocks and driver recklessness lead Porsche's 911 RSR to victory in the last ever Targa Florio
The Targa Florio had first been held in 1906, when the winner averaged 29mph. By the 1970s, development had been such that this figure was up to 80mph.
With the race being run on the narrow, twisty roads of mountainous Sicily, where buildings, people, parked cars, trees and cliff edges were never more than inches away, it was, in the words of lap record holder Helmut Marko, “totally insane”. Therefore, 1973 was to be the last FIA World Sportscar Championship running.s, Rolf Stommelen took the lead in Alfa’s sole flat-12 T33.
