W036-05 Slotwings Porsche 911 IROC 1973, #6
The International Race of Champions (IROC) was a North American competition, created by Les Richter, Roger Penske and Mike Phelps, Despite its name, the IROC was primarily associated with North American, NASCAR style racing. Drivers raced identically-prepared cars set up by a single team of mechanics in an effort to make the race purely a test of driver ability.
It was run with a small field of invited drivers 6–12. It was launched in late 1973, with Mark Donohue being the first driver to win the championship in 1974. The cars used that year were Porsche Carrera RSR's and Donohue's win in the fourth and last race of that season was his last win, as he died in a F1 crash during 1975.
