All About The Porsche 906 - 2
...It made its debut on the track in 1966 at the 24 Hours of Daytona race finishing in 6th place but winning out against the Ferrari Dino. When it raced in the 12 Hours of Sebring it finished fourth. The 906 didn't do so well in the 1000 km at Spa or 1000 km Nurburgring where it was beaten by a V8 Chevy. But in 1966 it won hands down in Italy at the Targa Florio. However things were getting tough at the factory and purse strings were being tightened. So in an effort to save money suspension that had been produced for the 904's was being used on the 906s combined with 15 inch wheels. This made it a difficult combination to beet out lighter weight cars with 13 inch wheels in the Formula One races. One big draw back was the 5 nut wheels which cost them plenty of time during pit stops.
