It says perhaps more about me than it does Patrick Long that I still refer to him as a "young gun" in motorsport. He joined the Porsche factory squad in his twenties, and I've kind of always thought of him as being youthful and exuberant. Time marches on for all of us, including the incredibly talented Patrick Long, who is now in his forties. After …

Is Porsche even Porsche without a top-flight 911 race car? I guess we'll find out soon, because the current mid-engine 911 RSR will be the last of its kind for the foreseeable future. Because Porsche is shifting its focus to the LMDh prototype program, which will make its debut in 2023, it won't be developing another version of such a car. As the …

For his 60th birthday, 1985 Le Mans winner Paolo Barilla decided to get himself a brand-new Porsche. But having won Le Mans with Porsche a few decades ago, it couldn't be a normal Porsche, it needed to be special, and built to his exact wishes. Paolo was the first customer to receive a new car from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur's newly revamped …

This weekend's FIA WEC season finale came down to a late-race intentional shunting and a race control deciding not to penalize for the action. In my absolutely biased opinion, this is a black eye on the sport, and the Ferrari team should be ashamed of their actions. When Porsche came to Bahrain for last weekend's six-hour event, it was clearly the …

In recent years it has seemed inevitable that every automotive manufacturer would be spun off into its own stock IPO. After all, why not? If Tesla can be valued over one trillion dollars, why can't Porsche? What does Tesla have that Porsche doesn't? We've recently seen Volvo's Polestar spun off and IPO'd with a SPAC. The market has been buzzing at …

Fancy sports cars, and particularly those found at race tracks, have typically been the play things of men, usually wealthy men. Motorsport is an old boys club, but two-time IMSA champion Christina Nielsen is on a mission to prove that many women are into cars, and potentially racing, as well. With a relatively new program called the Accelerating …

After finding success in one of the hottest events of the season — with air temps in the mid-90s all day — Porsche now leads the constructor's championship in the GTE Pro category over competition from Ferrari. The six-hour race in Bahrain was absolutely dominated by the flat six-powered crew, securing a one-two finish with the #92 car of Neel Jani …

Don't you wish you could build your dream car? That was Ferdinand Porsche's dream. "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself." That's what he said. And that's what Chris Runge said when he decided to build the R2. This is his vision of a 1990s supercar built on a chassis and bodywork of his own design, but with Porsche …

When you aren't driving your Porsche on the street you'd like to be reminded of the experience of owning a Porsche, right? Is there anything more artful than the widebody curves of a brand new 911 Turbo? Hanging this rear quarter panel and door jamb from your living room wall is surely better than any comparable Picasso or Rembrandt. Not only does …

Penske and Porsche are two names in motorsport that belong together like peanut butter and jelly. Neither of these two entities are known to take half measures when it comes to anything, but particularly on the race track. Dating all the way back to the 1950s, Roger Penske has raced Porsche-powered machines, but particularly sports prototype cars. …
