Gary:
Right!
The closed version came first and the turbo version was run at the Can-Am
series.
But have a look at the cars the Porsche is passing...those are not 70ies style.
They are looking more than Kas GTP cars from the 80ies.
I assume the movie is wrong named and not a Porsche 917.
At the time when the 917 was competing at Le Mans the pits and the track wasn't
saperated by a wall.
So this must be a newer race where they have taken that video.
