TED FIELD AND DANNY ONGAIS
Taking the Long Road Home with a Porsche RSR
Article by Randy Wells, Photos by Randy Wells plus other unknown authors (A Story Never Published Until Now)
Forty-Five years ago Porsche’s RSR was the hot ticket for car racing. Of course, joining in the fun has always been easier if you are an heir to one of America’s famous family fortunes.
Ted Field was only 12 years old when his father, Marshall Field IV, passed away in Chicago. The family was a part of the department store dynasty that created a world of affluence. After moving to Alaska with his mother, the young Field decided California was where he wanted to be. So what do you do when you’re well off, single, 21, and living in southern California? Find yourself a Porsche of course – but not just any Porsche. Continue reading “”

PORSCHE’S FIRST OVERALL VICTORY AT LE MANS & HANS MEZGER
The 1970 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans took place 50 years ago on June 13 and 14. Porsche had won first in class before, but their 1970 victory was their first overall Le Mans win.
They would go on to conquer the event more times than any other manufacturer. The late Hans Mezger was instrumental in that first victory and many others.
R.I.P. Hans Mezger, age 90, who passed away today. Hans was one of the most important engine designers ever. His first project was to work on the valve train of the Luhrmann-Designed 356 Carrera engine for Porsche – not an easy task. Over the next 35 years, he took part in the design of the first Porsche 911 engine, the Porsche turbocharged engines, and became the leader of the famed Porsche Race Engine Department.
