Fly Fly Porsche 908/2 #274 Targa Florio 1969 - Rolf Stommelen and Hans Herrmann

Fly present new liveries on their Porsche 908/2 Spyder - three of the six works Porsche cars that dominated the 53rd Targa Florio on this day in 1969. It was a bit of a walkover for Porsche - Ferrari didn't bother to turn up, Alfa Romeo had entered just one car, and the Lola T70 of Bonnier and Muller looked an outsider. Race day on the rugged Sicilian roads was all about which Porsche would win.

Fly Lancia 037 Tour de Corse 1984 - Markku Alén / Ilkka Kivimäki

Although it was a first victory of the season for Lancia and Alén and Alén took the lead in the championship, all eyes were on the new Peugeot 205 T16 at the 1984 Tour de Corse. Alén had been quiet throughout the event, speaking to journalists at the end to say "I am very lucky". In 1984, the Tour de Corse was a marathon - thirteen hours of racing (compared to only three in 2019), including brutally long and twisty stages and plenty of night-time driving. There were downpours - in which Alén lost his windscreen wipers and Vatanen's leading Peugeot crashed - and Alén also suffered a broken clutch, ran out of fuel and suffered from some poor tyre choices. So "very lucky" was not far off.
