At the 1977 Le Mans 24 Hours, the works Martini-Porsche team entered two 936/77s. The lead car, #3, was driven by Ickx & Pescarolo, however, it retired in the fourth hour with engine problems.

Ickx then transferred to the #4, to drive alongside Barth & Haywood. Against strong opposition from the Alpine-Renaults, the #4 prevailed and took home the champagne. An excellent model from Minichamps.
