Book "Against All the Others: Porsche’s Racing History, Volume 2 – 1969"

With "Against All the Others: Porsche's Racing History, Volume 2 – 1969", author Randy Leffingwell continues his in-depth exploration of Porsche's racing history. Following Volume 1's examination of the 1968 season, this volume focuses entirely on 1969—a year that would change the course of motorsport forever.

At the heart of the story is the legendary Porsche Typ 917, whose development for endurance racing presented Porsche with entirely new technical and competitive challenges. Alongside the 917 program, the book follows Porsche's global competition efforts, from international rallies and hill climbs to fiercely contested production-car and Grand Touring races across multiple continents.

Across 536 pages, rare photographs, archival records and detailed research document the design, development and competition programs that defined the season. Porsche's engineers, mechanics and drivers were united by a singular ambition: achieving overall victory at the 24 Heures du Mans in 1969.

Published by Edition Porsche Museum in collaboration with David Bull Publishing, this English-language hardcover provides an authoritative account of a pivotal year that reshaped not only Porsche Motorsport but international racing as a whole.
