The Porsche RS 3.0 was the weapon of choice in the Inaugural International Race of Champions in 1973/74.
The first three rounds of the original IROC series were held at Riverside International Raceway in the fall of 1973. Twelve drivers participated. Mark Donohue won two with George Follmer taking the third after Mark DNFd.
The top six from Riverside; Donohue, Follmer, Bobby Unser, Peter Revson, David Pearson and AJ Foyt, advanced to the title round at Daytona International Speedway, held the Friday before the Daytona 500 in February 1974 (I was there, actually).
Spark Model has just announced 1/43 scale Limited Edition models of all six Daytona finalists as part of their US National series ($80.00 each).
Donohue won again, scoring the final victory of his remarkable career and was crowned the first IROC Champion.
Along with the six Daytona finalists, Spark will also produce the #14 Porsche driven by Emerson Fittipaldi at Riverside.
