The Last Turn – The Absence of Red

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

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 Turner

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 …

The Last Turn – Sebring, A 50 Year Look Back

3/21/20169:24 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

Sebring 1966, 50 years ago: Porsche’s newest, in what was to be a long string of prototype racers, is being pushed to the grid in front of a huge crowd with a band playing in the background. Herbert Dramm, a well-known Porsche engineer assigned to the US and a great friend to many Porsche owners here, follows with a look of concern, perhaps …

The Last Turn – When Porsches Flew – Part 2

3/5/201611:04 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

We started this out by talking last time about Porsche powered light aircraft; the mention of a Porsche powered helicopter brought forth some interest, so here’s the follow-on story. I made the image below perhaps 20-years ago at the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum. It was identified as a Y RON Rotorcycle, and was obviously powered by a 356 …

The Last Turn – When Porsches Flew

2/22/201611:16 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

Mention Porsche to any of your friends, and their minds will immediately travel to land-going vehicles, most likely high end sports cars. But there have been a lot of other products. Ever the venturesome company, Porsche early on produced a number of industrial and aircraft versions of their flat four engines and, in 1959, successfully powered a …

The Last Turn – Painting With Light At Daytona

1/25/201610:19 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

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 Last Turn – Should Old Porsche Race Cars Be Restored?

1/11/20163:17 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

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 …

The Last Turn – 200+ MPH In A Carrera GT

12/11/201512:54 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

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 …

The Last Turn – The Le Mans Start

11/29/20152:59 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

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, …

The Last Turn – In The Tracks Of Giants

11/16/201510:15 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

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, …
