About the Porsche 917/10 #0 J. Scheckter Vasek Polak Racing Can-Am Championship 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the number 0 Porsche 917/10 run by Vasek Polak Racing for Jody Scheckter in the 1973 Can-Am Championship. A wide, turbocharged endurance prototype built for America's most flat-out sportscar series of the era.

Can-Am in the early 1970s had almost no rulebook to speak of, which let Porsche build the 917/10 into one of the most brutally powerful sportscars ever to race on American soil.

Minichamps' Rendering of a Can-Am Monster

The 917/10's rear wing dwarfs the car beneath it, and Minichamps keeps that oversized element properly proportioned rather than shrinking it to look tidier than the real thing ever was. Wide flared arches house the enormous rear tyres Can-Am racing demanded, and the diecast captures that flat, purposeful stance without softening the aggressive bodywork into something more conventional. The Vasek Polak livery is applied with clean separation between colours, and the number 0 on the nose and doors is legible and correctly positioned. Hints of the turbocharged flat-12 engine bay are visible through the rear grille work, a small but appreciated detail.

Vasek Polak Racing and Independent Can-Am Entries

Vasek Polak Racing, built around Vasek Polak's long-running Porsche dealership and importing business in Southern California, gave independent drivers a genuine route into top-level American sportscar racing during an era when factory-backed teams like Penske dominated headlines. Running a 917/10 in the 1973 Can-Am Championship put Jody Scheckter behind one of the most powerful racing cars of the period, competing in a series with famously loose technical rules, exactly how the 917/10's outrageous turbocharged output became possible in the first place.

A Privateer's Place in Can-Am History

Displayed alongside other early-1970s Can-Am prototypes, this Vasek Polak 917/10 represents the independent side of a series otherwise remembered for factory dominance. Its scale and wing size alone make it a genuine shelf statement piece.
