With new LMDh prototype regulations scheduled to hit in IMSA and the FIA WEC at the same time, for the 2023 season, Porsche will be …

The New Porsche 911 RSR Screams Violently In On-Track Testing
The 991-based 911 RSR won't be around for too much longer. One would be wise to presume that a 992-based GTE racer is around the corner, perhaps for the 2022 racing season. But for 2021, the 991 is here to stay, and as such, the customer-spec FIA WEC GTE Am classed 911 RSR-19 is getting a few minor upgrades for the 2021 season. If you're a customer …

Take the front half of a street car, the rear half of a race car, fuse them in the center, eventually replace the headlights for a pair of "broken eggs" from a 996.1, and cloak the car in a mysterious aura. The 911 GT1 is one of those elusive halo cars that only few eyes are fortunate enough to see. Its odd proportions, uncommonly racey …

Any race event that ends with four Porsche 911 RSRs on the podium in two different classes is a very good race event indeed. The 8 Hours of Bahrain was the final race of the FIA WEC 2019/20 season, and Porsche absolutely dominated proceedings by delivering a pair of factory-backed GTE Pro machines to a 1-2 finish after eight hours of tough running. …

It's been fifty years since Porsche won its first Le Mans outright, with Richard Attwood and Hans Herrman taking the win in the iconic red and white team Salzburg 917. In the fifty years since, Porsche has risen to become the single manufacturer with more experience and more victories at this legendary race than any other. But experience doesn't …

A few months ago Porsche announced that it would be pulling two of its entries from the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020, thanks to budgetary cutbacks in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. The two IMSA team entered cars have been pulled, and only the two full-season WEC 911 RSRs will run in the 24 this year. This will be Porsche's smallest …

In all the sports car races I've attended, it's usually the shrill scream of the RSR which forces me to cork my ears the most. The note itself is blaring, but its almost subdued compared to the deafening pops of upshifting which punctuate it. It's a high price we pay being racing fans; in my book, a little tinnitus and an almost constant sunburn …

Porsche's GT team rolled into the sixth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps ready to take on the world, or at least the best from Ferrari and Aston Martin. After winning the opening round of the championship at the 4 hours of Silverstone last September, Porsche has been shut out of the top step of the …

Porsche looked ready for a mega scrap during this weekend's 8 hour race in Bahrain, the fourth round of the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship. After having locked out the front row in GTE Pro qualifying, both Porsches ran incredible races across the first half of the extra-long race. Because of its length this round of the …
