Nickname for the 911 was “Bananendampfer” banana steamer. In the 1970s bananas were still an exotic fruit and Chiquita was the main importer distributer in Germany. By chance Chiquita became the main sponsor offering 1.000 DM for each win. The “Bananendampfer” was born. 1969 was the most successful year for the team, finishing first in 13 races. In 1970 the Team once again won the GT Class and became 14. overall.
Two Porsche 908-03 finished first and second that year.
