The Last Turn – Could Have Been A Contender

8/7/201612:51 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner2 Comments

During the Panorama years, one of my recurring jobs was to produce covers for the magazine, sometimes on very short notice. We got many excellent images from generous contributors, amateur and professional, but had to pass on a lot of these because of appropriateness or formatting; many really good shots simply couldn’t be adapted from the …

The Last Turn – Vic Elford, 28-Years Later

7/22/20169:53 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner1 Comment

At the first Rennsport Reunion, I was given the assignment to “judge” the 917 class in the concours alongside Vic Elford. I use the quotes quite intentionally, as my qualifications were pretty thin compared to Vic’s, and we had no specific instructions as to what was expected of us, other than to not take it too seriously. With that in mind, we …

The Last Turn- Panamera’s Past

7/8/20163:18 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

The new Panamera has been very much in the news lately, and the automotive media story line seems to typically be of the “ugly duckling to beautiful swan” sort. While I might not go that far, I will say that the original Panamera didn’t make it to my most beautiful Porsches list. Perhaps the worst angle for that car was the three-quarter rear, with …

The Last Turn – Toyota’s Travails

6/27/20167:59 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

You know what happened at Le Mans this year. Although Porsche had locked up qualifying with their two cars and had led the race earlier in the day, the surprisingly fast and durable Toyota was running in first place toward the end of the race. Chances for a Porsche victory hovered between miniscule and nonexistent. Yet, hounded by the Porsche 919 …

The Last Turn – A Permanent Scar

6/10/20169:05 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

Porsche’s screaming V8 wasn’t Labeled “Porsche Indy” without reason. A win at Indy was the real eventual goal of the effort. But this type of racing on this type of track was a huge leap for the company in the three years they contended the race there. Doing photographic coverage of the race those years, I too was well outside my comfort zone, …

The Last Turn – Porsche at Indy

5/30/20161:55 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

The 1970s and 1980s were not completely kind to our friends from Weissach. In spite of their racing successes, deep in both number and variety of competitions, Porsche had reasons to be somewhat jaded about their American experiences. Having finally convincingly vanquished the seemingly unbeatable McLarens in Can-Am racing they had seen their 917 …

The Last Turn – Racing in the Rain

5/16/20169:49 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

Perhaps you remember the 2007 ALMS season: the heavyweight contenders were the big Audi diesels, and with no factory-sponsored competition in their class, they dominated the top LMP 1 class all season long. Audi Sport North America won the class every time they went out. Sounds impressive, and it is, but the sheen on their shield was considerably …

The Last Turn – The Man

5/1/20164:27 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

It has been a bit over 30-years since I made this image, at Ferry Porsche’s 75th birthday party at his home in Stuttgart. The man himself is flanked by his four sons (L to R: Peter, Gerd, Butzi, and Wolfgang), and is standing behind a rather unusual 928. A four-seater, it was a gift from the company that he himself had molded into an …

The Last Turn – The Absence of Red

4/18/20167:35 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

Red sports cars are almost cliché, but I’ve been told that, when on the cover, they sell more magazines on the newsstand. They do draw the eye in a way that more muted colors find difficult. Part of the craft of shooting for a publication was to be on good terms with the hosts at a new car introduction in aid of getting dibs on a red example to …

The Last Turn – Bob & Al Holbert – “A Bright Thread Running Through The Fabric of Porsche History in America”

4/2/20166:06 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard TurnerComment

The Holberts, Bob and Al, father and son. “A bright thread running through the fabric of Porsche history in America” is how they were appropriately described in Betty Jo Turner’s interview with the two of them in the 30th Anniversary edition of Panorama. The year of the image is 1989, the location Daytona. The pilot of the famous #14 …
