excellent "Porsche 911 Story" (Haynes Publishing)
In accepting the "Spirit of LeMans" award, Singer
says he thanked "the Le Mans people, specially to Mr. Michel Cosson the
President of the ACO and the
selection commitee under the control of Mr. Daniel Poissenot and last
but not least to Porsche, which gave me the opportunity to give me the
chance to come so often to Le Mans with all kinds of cars. My thanks
went
also to the Porsche racing team, which made these successes possible."
