There are several companies set to join the LMDh prototype class in IMSA and FIA WEC next year, including Porsche, Audi, Acura, BMW, and Cadillac. Alpine, Lamborghini, and McLaren are looking to follow in 2024. But Porsche is the first of those competitors to have not only unveiled its racer, but to have logged several days of testing at tracks all …

In a dark and rainy part of the world this Saturday, Porsche customer team Dempsey-Proton Racing found victory in the GTE-AM class of the FIA World Endurance Championship six-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps. The Belgian race was quite eventful for all involved, but when the checkered flag fell it was Christian Ried, Sebastian Priaulx, and Harry …

Porsche's new prototype race car doesn't make its racing debut until next year, but it's been making some testing appearances out in the world. Porsche first showed it off in photographs just a few weeks ago, but this is our first indication of what the car actually sounds like when given the full beans.

On Friday evening Porsche drivers Michael Christensen and Kevin Estre teamed for a GTE Pro-class victory in the 1000 Miles of Sebring race to kick off the FIA WEC race season in flying fashion. After the Sebring race was removed from the FIA WEC calendar for two years thanks to COVID-induced international travel restrictions, it was nice to see the …

Porsche may not currently have a car in the top flight Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, but it will certainly be leading at least a few laps every race.

Here we are again, it's been a little over a decade since the announcement of Porsche's 919 Hybrid LMP1 program which won Le Mans three times and six FIA World Championship titles. That massive project ended on a high note almost five years ago now, so it's time for a new top-tier international prototype. This time, however, Porsche's new …

Is Porsche even Porsche without a top-flight 911 race car? I guess we'll find out soon, because the current mid-engine 911 RSR will be the last of its kind for the foreseeable future. Because Porsche is shifting its focus to the LMDh prototype program, which will make its debut in 2023, it won't be developing another version of such a car. As the …

This weekend's FIA WEC season finale came down to a late-race intentional shunting and a race control deciding not to penalize for the action. In my absolutely biased opinion, this is a black eye on the sport, and the Ferrari team should be ashamed of their actions. When Porsche came to Bahrain for last weekend's six-hour event, it was clearly the …

After finding success in one of the hottest events of the season — with air temps in the mid-90s all day — Porsche now leads the constructor's championship in the GTE Pro category over competition from Ferrari. The six-hour race in Bahrain was absolutely dominated by the flat six-powered crew, securing a one-two finish with the #92 car of Neel Jani …

Penske and Porsche are two names in motorsport that belong together like peanut butter and jelly. Neither of these two entities are known to take half measures when it comes to anything, but particularly on the race track. Dating all the way back to the 1950s, Roger Penske has raced Porsche-powered machines, but particularly sports prototype cars. …
