The Porsche 911 RSR is possible the most common vehicle in sports car racing with the car being a solid choice by both amateur and professional racing teams for over 50 years. The original 911 started racing in the mid-60's in Trans Am, battling against the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro for several years and winning the championship for 3 straight years (1967-1969), before Porsche built the Carrera RSR to truly take the fight to established marques in 1973.
It's first major campaign was in the 1973 season of the World Sportscar Championship where it won the Cup for GT Cars and got Porsche to 3rd in the World Championship for Makes. One of the most famous 911 RSR's is the Martini Porsche that won the 1973 Targa Florio race and competed in the WSC including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The car saw major success in Group 4 GT Racing with a 2.7 300HP Flat 6 that was essentially a race tuned version of the engine used in the Carrera 2.7 RS. In 1974 the car saw a huge evolution with the car utilizing a 3.0 Flat 6 that saw massively improved aerodynamics (including a GT wing) and brakes from the Group 5 917.
This car is the one that won the 1973 Targa Florio race and has also seen recent action in FIA Historic series and has also been seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
