This is the Porsche 935 No.9 Winner 12H Sebring 1979 Akin/McFarlin/Woods in 1:18 scale by Spark.
In the 1979 12 Hours of Sebring, the 🇺🇸 endurance racers Bob Akin, Rob McFarlin, and Roy Woods drove the No. 9 Dick Barbour Racing Porsche 935 to an impressive overall victory, completing 239 laps and finishing ahead of rival GTX‑class Porsches and other competitors. Akin, a respected sports car driver and team owner, brought experience and consistency to the tough 12‑hour race, while McFarlin and Woods shared the driving duties at the demanding Sebring circuit. What set this win apart was the Porsche 935 itself: based on the iconic 911 Turbo, the 935 featured extensive aerodynamic and engine upgrades under Group 5 regulations that gave it exceptional top‑end power and stability for endurance racing. Its success in the IMSA GTX class, including Le Mans and Daytona that year, reflected Porsche’s dominance in long‑distance sports car competition.
