Patrick Long Hustles an 800-Horsepower 935-84 Around Laguna Seca!

7/29/20192:00 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

Though these three laps were supposed to calm, Patrick Long didn't get the memo. Either that, or his natural talent was enough to carry him to ~1:31 laps around Laguna Seca during last year's Rennsport Reunion VI. The unspoken rule at events like these is to take things a little calmer—these cars aren't cheap—than one might in an IMSA race. Some …

Here’s Everything Porsche Changed About The New 911 RSR

7/9/20193:42 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche introduced the world to the mid-engine 911 back in 2017, and it has blown the world away with Porsche's sports car efforts since. It won Le Mans in 2018, it's netted more than a couple championships both in the IMSA series here in North America, as well as the FIA WEC international series. The switch to a mid-engine layout was made with …

Barks of the 996 GT3 RSR Bounce Off Monza’s Trees

6/28/20192:07 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

The signature bark of the 996 GT3 RSR is unmistakable to the sonically sensitive Porschephile. They recognize the dry blat-blat-blat of the 3.6-liter under deceleration and heel-toe and from years ago when they heard those same sounds bounce off the walls at places like Sebring and Daytona. The rasp, the throatiness, and the absence of gearbox …

Porsche’s Secret Formula One Engine

6/11/201910:18 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Chris Cushing

Despite the brand's long history in motorsports, Porsche's relationship with Grand Prix racing has been full of fits and starts. The 718RSK originally competed in Formula 2 before moving to Formula 1 in 1961, where the slightly elderly car didn't prove competitive. The 804 got the brand its sole championship race victory as a constructor with Dan …

When Will Electric Cars Overtake Porsche’s ‘Ring Record?

6/6/20192:17 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Chris Cushing

First off, congratulations to Volkswagen. Porsche's corporate bedfellow's achievement is nothing short of remarkable. The all electric ID.R is an astonishing technical achievement, and lopped more than forty seconds off the existing lap record for electric vehicles. With a 6 minute 05.336 lap, the electric Volkswagen even bested Stefan Bellof's …

New 991.2 RSR Spied Testing at Monza—With a New Exhaust Note

5/29/20199:15 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

A large part of the 911 RSR's charm is the sound it makes. The sublime climb from a throaty growl to a screaming crescendo is something anyone can appreciate, provided their eardrums are functioning. For that reason, some will be disappointed to hear the Ford GT-esque bark the latest RSR emits from its side-exit exhausts. After a few laps, it …

Watch As This 997 GT3 R Screams Up A Portuguese Hillclimb

5/27/20191:24 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

With his usual Ford Escort steeds in the shop for repairs, Portuguese hillclimber José Silvinho Pires had to resort to using something else for his latest trip to the Rampa da Falperra hillclimb. His replacement, a 997 GT3 R, offered him more than enough performance to temporarily forget his old Fords. With a striking livery reminiscent of the old …

How Does A GT2 RS Compare To A GT3 Cup Car?

3/29/201910:28 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

As impressive as the powerful road-going 911 ever is, few would imagine it stacks up so well against a current Cup car. So much more than a dragster, the 700-horsepower GT2 RS hangs on closely to the tail of the 991 Cup, and in some sections, clearly has the upper hand. The Differences Now, before we assess the performances of the cars, we …

Hunting Datsuns in a 1973 Porsche 911 RSR

3/27/201912:00 estFiled to: Porsche Race Cars, VideosBy: Chris Cushing

In the words of driver Jim Bouzaglou, "It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, we all get the red mist." At VARA's 50 Years of 240Z event, Jim has a surprisingly wide variety of cars to run down. The pits are positively laden with Datsuns, from BRE cars to brightly-liveried privateers of all sorts. Despite the focus on Datsuns, the grid in Jim's …
