Ravenel, J. Ravenel. P. Dagoreau. W. Braillard\nTeam: <i>Ravenel Fr\u00e8res<\/i>\nRace: DNF (Group 4 class) at Le Mans in 1978\nMinichamps - 400786469 (diecast)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-right has-small-font-size has-medium-gray-color\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Published 06\/27\/18<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Based on the road legal 911 Turbo (930), privateers were the target for the 934. If you wanted a race car for FIA\u2019s Group 4 class, the 934 was your car. The 934 was basically a <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.w-143.com\/index.php\/porsche-911-930-turbo-1975-kyosho\/\" target=\"_blank\">1975 911 Turbo<\/a> with a more powerful engine and with better suspension. It came out of the factory in the so-called \u201cregular trim\u201d. Weighing 1090 kg, it came with electric windows, door trim, a 121 l gas tank and roll cage. The engine was an air-cooled turbocharged 2992 cm\u00b3 <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.broadfootracing.com\/Clement_Dang_930_123.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">boxer-6<\/a>. Until 1977 the engines produced 480 hp, but from 1977 onward engine modifications bumped output to 550 hp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/porsche\/race\/porsche_934_69_04.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Because of the livery, from a parsec away you know this is a privateer car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But to comply with Group 4 rules, the cars were modified with the \u201crace trim\u201d, where 30 kg were <i>added<\/i>. The 934 had almost twice more power than the 930. Basically that was because of its larger turbo, and that meant more turbo lag. It wasn\u2019t a car easy to drive, to the point that Derek Bell once called it a <i>\u201cnasty little beast\u201d<\/i>. Still, it was immensely popular among privateers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/porsche\/race\/porsche_934_69_02.jpg\" alt=\"934 #69\"\/><figcaption>May not be great to drive, but sure looks fantastic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brothers Jean-Louis and Jacques Ravenel first raced at La Sarthe in 1976. With a BMW 3.0 CSL,   they came in 24th place. In 1977 they founded the <i>Ravenel Fr\u00e8res<\/i> racing team and managed a 14th place with a 911 Carrera RSR. Stimulated by their better result in the year before, for 1978 they were back. This time they came with a 1976 Porsche 934 (<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn-3.motorsport.com\/static\/img\/mgl\/300000\/310000\/315000\/315500\/315593\/s8\/lemans-24-hours-of-le-mans-1978-69-porsche-934.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">chassis #930-6700153<\/a>) and had another go at the <i>24 Heures du Mans<\/i>. Unfortunately though 934 #69 here had to abandon in the 35th lap with engine troubles, and that was the last race of the racing brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/porsche\/race\/porsche_934_69_03.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>It does have dead eyes but they&#8217;re not terrible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite an obscure car this one (it raced at Le mans in 76, 77 and 78), without a mention-worthy result, but I got interested in it after I found out about the brothers\u2019 racing team. AND, it\u2019s a 934, one of the coolest stallions from Stuttgart. Model-wise the 934 #69 is just a nice (okay?) model from Minichamps, so probably not something that normal non-Le Mans nuts collectors will find very enticing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1976 Porsche 934 Pilots: J-L.
