Thanks Sean. Is the Porsche 908 the same car Steve McQueen shared with Peter Revson to finish second at the 1970 Sebring 12 Hour race?

Excuse the cheesy music, but there are shots of McQuen in the pits, then at around 5.33 the Porsche camera car goes down pit straight then about 7.19 it leaves the pits.
