An outstanding part of any journey is the people you meet along the way, and my 40 year journey with PCA and PANORAMA was clearly no exception. The Porsche family, of course, has to top the list, but close behind are the engineers. These are the guys who would look you in the eye and tell you the truth about the product, even when it was not …

The Last Turn: A Very Good Year
1970 was a good year to be at Daytona. The year before had only been fairly entertaining with five Porsches—all 911s--in the top ten finishers, but the big-iron Lola-Chevrolet T70s entered by Roger Penske and James Garner had dominated the field. In 1970 Porsche and Ferrari both had their own brand new big iron, the Lolas had gone the way of the …

Late in 1996, after finishing up the European introduction for the new Boxster, Porsche loaned us a 993 to take a bit of a side trip before returning to the States. At the time, there was a European racing competition called the BPR Global GT Series, which the following year became the FIA GT Championship. McLaren was to win the series in both …

Remember the video we showed you a few weeks back of the Porsche 918 Spyder traveling at 217 mph through the Australian Outback? In addition to the vidoegraphers on site to produce the spot, Porsche hired automotive photographer Easton Chang to document the event from inside the car and above. We tracked him down to get his thoughts on …

In 1993, Porsche AG hosted “Sternfahrt” as a celebration of 30 years of the 911. The format of the event was much like a PCA multi-regional, but the location was a bit more exotic, and members of the Porsche family (including Butzi Porsche, designer of the 911), Porsche engineers, and even the old racing director, Baron Huschke von Hanstein, were …

The 2000 Le Mans race was not a high water mark for Porsche. The factory sent no prototypes, so there was only a clamor of GT2 and GT3 911s to carry the banner. Audi, without much competition at the top, finished 1-2-3, and there were no Porsches at all in the top 10. Not the best year to pick to make the pilgrimage across the pond to see the 24 …

Some 20 years on it may seem strange, but Porsche was in a world of pain in the ‘90s. Sales were slow, money was tight, and the 924-944 series had been around for a very long time, eventually breathing its last via the relatively short-lived 968: a great car, but not enough different to be more than a stopgap. The factory had planted rumors of a …

1965 was an exhilarating time for a pair of seriously committed young Porsche enthusiasts making the pilgrimage from Atlanta to Sebring in a 356 coupe. It was the second year that the Porsche factory had brought the stunningly beautiful 904 out to play with the four, five, and six-liter monsters from other manufacturers. In the inaugural year, …

It was the inaugural year for Don Panoz’s Petit Le Mans race, held on the newly reconfigured Road Atlanta track, and Ferraris and Porsches were thick on the ground, piloted by any number of very well-known drivers. Porsche brought its GT1-98, rather different in a vaguely arachnid sort of way from the original more zaftig GT-1, for Alan McNish and …

For the next 12 days a group of 12 journalists will travel a total of 7000 kilometers across Siberia from Irkutsk (near Russia's Lake Baikal) to Ekaterinburg (in the Ural Mountains) on a trip known as "Plug Into Siberia". The average temperatures in Siberia during the coming weeks will hover at around minus 20 degrees. This is permafrost country …
