I feel for right-seaters in rally cars, I really do, especially on gravel. Even while reading the pace notes, they are completely at the mercy of the driver. On this test route, the person in the navigator's position appears to be simply acting as ballast. Based on their clothing, they may well be an unsuspecting member of the team. I'm sure they …

A Porsche Fan’s Guide To The Rolex 24 At Daytona
While Porsche has the same pair of factory-entered cars in the GTLM category this year, the story is completely different in the GTD class, where Porsche entries have dropped from five to just three.

Porsche debuted their new mid-engine 911 RSR at Daytona last year, and suffered a few teething problems amidst a strong showing. They qualified mid-pack, and finished just off the tail of the class-winning Ford GT. With a full year of development under their belt, Porsche has potential to do even better this year.

Not many people know this fact, but Porsche actually built a series of flamethrowers in the 1970s and 80s that were strangely shaped like 911 race cars.

Andreas Dahms certainly knows his way around a sodden, dirt-packed road in a classic 911.

At the start of the recent East African Safari Rally, Stig Blomqvist (along with co-driver Mattias Adielsson), had built up a healthy lead.

The supporting Tuthill Porsche rally squad was forced to get the engine and transmission swapped out of the car for a …
