Though the Widowmaker strikes fear into the hearts of many, this footage suggests it's not necessarily as fearsome as its reputation suggests. While it wouldn't be fair to call it a pussycat, this example looks approachable by a talented shoe. Granted, the car here is heavily modified and the man in the seat is one of the best instructors at the …

This turbocharged Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car ran at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Sunday, claiming second overall behind an open cockpit prototype, and breaking the Time Attack 1 class record by more than 14 seconds.

Last year Volkswagen set the world of racing on its head with an all electric prototype ID.R setting a new world record at Pikes Peak. With that overall record out of the way, there were no big players at this year's race aiming for an overall record. With the top spot pretty much a foregone conclusion as Robin Schute would be taking an open-top …

The IMSA season for GTLM cars is only five races deep. By taking the 12 Hours of Sebring, Long Beach Grand Prix, Mid Ohio, and now 6 Hours of the Glen, all in a row, Porsche has put a serious stamp on the 2019 season. Sunday's 6-hour endurance race in New York went well for the Porsche Motorsports North America team. Works drivers Patrick Pilet and …

Porsche did everything it could to win the Nurburgring 24 Hour race. With seven quasi-factory, or at least factory-supported cars in the race, and most of the contracted Porsche drivers behind the wheel, the only thing that could be done was run the race. It was quite obvious after the first few stints that the 911 GT3 R was the package to have for …

While Porsche didn't quite get the victory that they were hoping for in either GTE Pro or GTE Am, the sports car maker managed to secure all four of the FIA WEC GTE class championships. This season, unlike any before it, held a pair of Le Mans 24 hour events, last June and the weekend past. Porsche won last year, but only managed to take three …

Since Porsche has been out of the LMP1 game, ending the program at the conclusion of the 2017 season, our favorite German sports car maker has been pushing their GTE programs to the top of the heap. After winning both GTE Pro and GTE Am classes at Le Mans last year, the team is looking to repeat that feat this weekend. They have a very strong group …

Just like last year, Porsche has amassed a full grid of ten GTE-classed 911 RSR in an attempt to take on the best comers from Ferrari, Ford, BMW, Corvette, and Aston Martin.

Back in the early 1960s, Porsche was still a tiny sports car manufacturer punching way above its weight in international racing. With an astonishingly small 1.5-liter flat eight motor stuffed into a bespoke chassis just barely large enough to contain the lanky Dan Gurney, the 804 was a beast from day one. While it's difficult to call it a serious …

As of 2019, Timo Bernhard is the longest-serving Porsche works driver. While his highest profile victory came in 2017, with his upset Le Mans victory, Bernhard has been putting rubber to the road for two full decades as of this month.
