Ferrari pushes Porsche off track to steal the FIA WEC championship in Bahrain
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.

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. …

Team Penske has been kicking butt in racing for decades, and for a lot of that time the team has been powered by Porsche. Way back in the 1960s Roger Penske himself was racing various four-cam Porsche prototype sports racing roadsters. By the 1970s, Penske and hired driver Mark Donohue were a global force, and their Porsche 917/30 became known as …
