The 86-year-old battled against cancer in recent years with the same tenacity and determination that made him one of only four drivers to record six major victories at the N\u00fcrburgring during his long racing career. Elford earned the nickname \u201cQuick Vic\u201d for his ability to ring speed from cars ranging from hill climb specials to rally racers, open wheel Formula One cars and rocket-fast sports car prototypes. Elford is survived by his wife, Anita.<\/p>\n<p>Elford was the first driver to have an average lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans) above 150 mph \u2013 he did so in a 1970 Porsche 917 LH (Long-Tail). He was a two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner (1967 and 1973) and famously won the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally, driving a Porsche 911, and the Rolex 24 At Daytona, behind the wheel of a Porsche 907, in back-to-back weeks in 1967. The \u201967 Daytona win was the marque\u2019s first international 24-hour race victory. Elford made eight starts at Le Mans, six in a Porsche, with the first victory coming piloting a Porsche 906 K, the second in a Ferrari. His last start at the endurance racing classic came in 1974 in the seat of a Porsche 911 Carrera RSR. His remarkable driving career also spanned into Can-Am and NASCAR\u2019s Daytona 500.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_614254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-614254\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-614254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1-770x547.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1-293x208.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/71Sebring1-1400x995.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-614254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elford and Larousse shared this 917 at Sebring in 1971.

The prestigious honor was awarded for his act of courage and heroism during the 24 Hours of Le Mans when he stopped to assist a fellow driver from a burning car.

We have lost one of the all-time greats from our motorsport community. At Porsche we\u2019re often described as a family \u2013 but in motorsport especially so. On behalf of every one of us at Porsche Motorsport North America we want to express our profound sadness at this news. Vic was \u2013 and will always be \u2013 a hero to us. Our immediate thoughts are with his family and his friends at this time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hurley Haywood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVic Elford was truly an icon. He was loved by many. His accomplishments were unmatched, and he will be greatly missed by all. Vic and I became friends later in his career. We never raced against each other, but I respected the man greatly. I feel terrible for Anita. She was his right hand man. She, his family and his friends are all in my thoughts. Anita is a strong woman and I take some comfort in knowing she will succeed in her next step.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Patrick Long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a factory Porsche driver, I got to know Vic quite well \u2013 at first, I was a in awe just to be in his presence. Quickly\u2013 his direct approach and immense humility immediately made you feel at ease. Always upbeat, it was such a treat to hear Vic tell stories of his legendary journeys with a massive smile. I will always be grateful for the fun we had, his encouragement and the kindness he showed me. My thoughts are with Anita and everyone who knew Vic.
