Last I saw on a site that the Porsche 935/78 had no differential, but how could he go normaly through the corner ? Had he traction control or something ?
And how could you go through a corner if you have no differantial (for example a kart)? Than you can go just straight, or your wheels must slip...
Here a site over the Porsche 735/78:

with no dif i think it must be very understeered, but i can't image a racecar is understeered because is it so easy to prevent with a good dif.
Weird..
(mods, plz move to technical... those damn newbe's ;) )

Four gears were enough... the car had a huge amount of a torque, a reasonably wide power band and the only standing starts it needed to make were pulling away from the pit-box.
Many 935 and Kremer derivitives ran with a solid final drive. One reason, at least, was to counter some of the inherent oversteer - I believe they were not especially easy to drive well and were not the best cars for tyre-wear.
Paul Frere's book 'Porsche racing cars of the 70s' covers this in a little more detail.

Untidily and with a lot of tyre scrub I guess...!
I must say, that aspect bothers me - it does seem a crude way of going about things.
But whilst they looked smooth on the open expanses of Silverstone, they did look a bit awkward and muscle-bound at twisty Donington when the German Group 5s ran there in the late seventies.
I have the opposite experience - struggling with an open diff (and rather less power!) when I need an LSD.
We need to hear from someone who's driven one...

While I haven't driven a 935 (Though I did pit crew on one) I have raced front engine 600 hp V8 cars without a differential and there is nothing hard about it! It's just a bit different.
All the cars in the V8 catagory in Australia have no differential.
Just think of it as a limited slip diff with Very limited slip.
