What comes to mind when you hear the name, Pablo Escobar? Whatever it is, it’s probably not “avid car racer.” However, DuPont Registry has just listed its latest spectacle, a once Escobar-owned 1974 Porsche 911 RSR that was originally made for the International Race of Champions (IROC).
IROC’s first series saw 12 identical RSRs race around a track with drivers of different disciplines behind the wheel. The idea was to test the driver’s skill, rather than the car itself, and this car above was one of the 12 that raced. It was driven by Emerson Fittipaldi, who was late to the race and was pushed back to 11th on the starting grid — however, being Fittipaldi, he quickly moved up the rankings, but then veered off the track which lead to the car developing a fuel leak.
