The world was in the middle of the oil crisis, which was not compatible with racing gas-guzzling 800-1200 bhp cars. In response to the situation the governing body set a maximum fuel consumption of 3 mpg. In fact this was about as much as the big block V8s used. However this was a limit that the thirsty twin-Turbo Porsche flat-12s could never meet. This effectively ended the Porsche presence in the Can-Am Challenge.
