The World Sportscar Championship was the world series run for sports car racing by the FIA from 1953 to 1992.
The championship evolved from a small collection of the most important sportscar, endurance, and road racing events in Europe and North America with dozens of gentleman drivers at the grid, to a professional racing series where the world's largest automakers spent millions of dollars per year. The official name of the series changed throughout the years, however it has generally been known as the World Sportscar Championship from its inception in 1953. The World Sportscar Championship was, with the Formula One World Championship, one of the two major world championships in circuit motor racing.

Jo Siffert and Derek Bell were teamed up by Porsche in 1971 and ran all but this race in a 917. The car retired while Siffert was driving and Bell never had his turn. Siffert took Jackie Oliver's stint in Porsche 908/03 #1 and with Pedro Rodriguez, finished 2nd.
Nurburgring was the first of twelve recorded events for this car, chassis #012. It raced from 1974 through 1980, mostly with Jürgen Barth behind the wheel. It ran Le Mans in 1975 as #15 and finished 4th. Derek Bell finally had a second chance in the car's last race, the 1980 Dijon 1000K. The car did not finish.
