It had been a vigorous day of shooting, with several hundred images already made in and around Porsche’s center in Leipzig. The trip, showcasing the new Cayenne Turbo on a cold and drizzly February day in 2006, had given us the chance to drive this potent monster on both Porsche’s highly technical test track, with its various corners inspired by …

The Last Turn
Sebring in the 60’s was a magical place, unlike any other race track I’ve seen since. This shot was done in 1969, a short while before I began shooting for Panorama. It was my 6th year at Sebring, and I had pretty much learned where I wanted to shoot and some of the Sebring survival tactics, like intentionally dehydrating so you could minimize …

Everyone who has done more than scratch the surface of Porsche’s history knows the name of Roger Penske. Following a relatively brief but highly successful time as a driver —his first race win was in an old Spyder- Penske became a team owner and manager. Over the course of his career he has been involved in everything from sports cars to F1 to Indy …

In very early 2007, we had the great good fortune to be invited to Weissach — famous for its R and D, but also where racing Porsches were actually made — to see the newly transformed facility, double the size of the previous one. Those were the days of the RS Spyder; 001 was on the test track that day, 005 was almost completed, and work was …

1971 was a sort of a watershed year for me; I had become involved with shooting for Panorama, and had done the events at Daytona and Sebring. I hadn’t ever been to Watkins Glen, but a good friend was to race his 911 L (on the same track with 917s!). Three of us flew up in a Cessna with another friend and I shot the race, though there was never a …

Brought into existence under the watchful eye of the legendary engineer Norbert Singer in less than a year’s time, the Porsche GT1 made its debut at the all—important 24 hour struggle at Le Mans. Pitted against Ferrari F 40s, Nismo Nissans GT-Rs, and---count them---seven of the 6.0 liter McLaren F1 GTRs dominant the previous year, they had a …

This group of brand-new 993s was sitting on some really expensive turf. Cap Ferrat, between Nice and Monaco, was the French site selected for the press introduction of the last air-cooled Porsche in 1993. Car manufacturers in general like for those doing the story on their latest models to be located in nice digs, well fed and happy. The thought …

In the glory days of the 917, one of my favorites was Jo Siffert. An accomplished F1 driver, he found the big sports cars a good fit as well, and slipped easily back and forth during the season. Having piloted a 906 at Sebring in 1966, he had been in a 910 in 1967 , and won that race outright in a 907 with Hans Hermann in 1968. A 908 he shared with …

We just finished our own post Le Mans wrap up with a last look back on our amazing trip. Now, /DRIVE just posted a set of pictures from one of our favorite motorsport photgraphers, Camden Thrasher. What's different about this compilation is how they're presented. Blurring the lines between photography and video, this 3:20 second 'photo-vid' is a …

A couple weekends ago I continued my annual tradition of traveling up to Mid-Ohio and shooting the ALMS race. A day filled with sweet exhaust notes and fast cars to act as moving targets for a shutterbug – things couldn’t get better… …but they did! I was lucky enough to catch up with photojournalist Bob Chapman, who briefly took me under his …
