Porsche Rennsport 2018 with Vic Elford

Where else are you going to get to ride on the track with Vic Elford, and pass the World's First Porsche into turn 1?

This is a Porsche 911 Carrera T -- but it's not just any Carrera T.

it's been modified to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a Porsche 911 T winning the Monte Carlo Rally way back in 1968.

So, this car has received some rally-style modifications, including a set of Cibie running lights.

And a subte set of rally-style mudflaps, too.

There's even a rally computer inside, a vintage one at that.

But perhaps the best modification is the signature of Vic Elford, the man who piloted that 911 T to victory in 1968.

Elford was kind enough to take me for a lap of Laguna Seca in this special 911.

We were part of a parade of historic Porsches.

That parade included Dr. Porsche himself, piloting the world's first Porsche!
