Born in London, Vic Elford was one of the fastest drivers of the Sixties and Seventies… and a Porsche hero. Nicknamed “Quick Vic” by his peers, legendary driver Vic Elford was arguably the most versatile all-around driver of all time.
Consider Vic’s 1968 season. It began with his win in the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally, followed by a win the next weekend in the Daytona 24 Hours. He was second at Sebring a month later, then in May, scored an epic victory at the Targa Florio, which is considered the greatest win in Targa history. Two weeks later, Vic won the Nürburgring 1000 Kilometers. Then in his first F1 race in July, Vic took a badly out-classed Cooper T86B to a stunning fourth-place finish in the soaking-wet French Grand Prix.
Vic was European rally champion in 1967. He then turned to sportscar racing and F1.
