It is the end of an era. IMSA's once highly successful GTLM class built around international GTE specification grand touring race cars is now dead. As the checkered flag fell on the 24th running of the Petit Le Mans race in Georgia this weekend, with it fell a giant of international motorsport. As the class which once saw competition from Porsche, …

Patrick Long set to retire from racing after 19 seasons as a factory Porsche driver
It says perhaps more about me than it does Patrick Long that I still refer to him as a "young gun" in motorsport. He joined the Porsche factory squad in his twenties, and I've kind of always thought of him as being youthful and exuberant. Time marches on for all of us, including the incredibly talented Patrick Long, who is now in his forties. After …

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. …

New Zealander Earl Bamber joined the Porsche team in 2014 after winning the Porsche Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia championships. An early open-wheel career dovetailed into tin tops, where he absolutely killed it. Porsche took a winger on the kid at Petit Le Mans in 2014 taking over for an injured Richard Lietz in the factory Porsche …

Porsche has always been a racing company that happens to build cars for the street. It has earned its reputation as a reliable and dynamic sports car from decades winning sports car competition. Perhaps no car is more connected to Porsche's reputation than the iconic 962, which along with its 956 cousins won hundreds of races in the 1980s and …

The 2021 IMSA season is coming to a close, and it's looking increasingly like the Pfaff Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R has what it takes to secure the GTD championship this year. With three wins from the last four races, the team of Zacharie Robichon and Laurens Vanthoor has pushed its championship bid to a huge gap with just one race remaining in …

This weekend's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship round at Virginia International Raceway held something brand new for the series. A Porsche led the field, but as we all know, that's not new. This time, there was a Porsche electric sedan used as the race safety car. This is the first time IMSA has ever used an electric pace car, another first …
