I know what you're thinking, 'who's getting salt stains on their Porsche's carpets?' You have to remember, not all our readers drive classic Porsches, or keep their cars off the road in the winter. In fact, as the Cayenne, Macan and Panamera models continue to grow in popularity and more and more people realize just how capable the 911 is in the …

The Last Turn – Painting With Light At Daytona
It seems appropriate to offer a racing shot this time of year, as the sports car racing scene is about to undergo its annual rebirth at Daytona. Over the years, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend many days (and nights) there, sometimes hot and sweaty but more often cold beyond belief. It is northern Florida, after all, and this time …

The building blocks that define the foundation of human existence can sometimes be linked to specific events; moments in time. The significance of these events can shape who we are, and even the direction we choose to take when reaching the critical intersections in life. I’ve been a motor-head for so long that it’s hard for me to remember …

I got this shot walking through the paddock at a Rennsport Reunion a number of years ago. There it was, a 917/30, all opened up and ready to be admired, the absolute monarch among the merely incredible peers of the automotive realm that surrounded it. The preparation of the engine had been meticulous; washes of anodized blue were complimented by …

Last year we introduced you to our newest project car, called simply "Project Boxster Clubsport". In that first installment we found the right car, we purchased it for a song, and it was sitting politely in our garage waiting for its first modifications. So far, the Boxster has been happy to simply rack up the miles and keep things rocking along. …

I’ve always been more of a photographer than a driver, and 200 mph seemed pretty fast to me. Sure, the 917 had punched out some 240 mph at Le Mans many years before on that supremely long and then un-chicaned back straight, but numbers above 200 were well beyond my experience or expectation, even with someone else doing the driving. Still, that …

Once one of the more exciting part of some races came at the very beginning: the drivers would line up across the track from the cars; then, at the drop of the starter’s flag, run across the track and jump into their racers, (presumably) fasten their belts, and peel out, hoping to be the first to Turn One. You could count on it to be dramatic, …

Porsche has enjoyed dominant success on many tracks around the world, but few top the Targa Florio for the sheer glamor and mystique of the place. Stuttgart victories were plentiful during the years the event was held, with wins by the 550, RSK, RS60, 904, 906, 907, 910, 911 RSR, and two 908s, driven by the likes of Mitter, Elford, Redman, …

When you go to a big event, any kind of car related happening, you always have to take the 'cool car', don't you? It's like an unwritten rule that when you go to a cars and coffee or a race track even to spectate, or an international gathering of aftermarket parts manufacturers like SEMA, you have to drive the enthusiast car. I couldn't rightly …
Continue to the full articleThe Last Turn – A Spyder of a Different Color
Quick, picture the LMP2 RS Spyder that gave Porsche a long row of wins. Likely you just saw one of the vivid yellow Penske cars. But the racing successes did not all come in a yellow wrapper; deprived of the chance for an overall win at Le Mans in 2008 by the addition of 50 kg of weight and a reduction in fuel capacity by a sanctioning body not …
