A Pair of Jaw-Dropping 917Ks Snarl at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

3/26/20199:48 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Tommy Parry

If you're considering cutting back on caffeine, the blaring exhaust notes of these two Le Mans titans might provide that pep needed to begin the day. Truly, the sound these two big 12-cylinder engines shoved in tiny 917s get the hairs on the back of your neck standing up and your heart beating a bit faster. There aren't many motors as musical as …

Porsche’s Iconic Whale Has Been Tailored For Speed At Le Mans

1/22/20194:00 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche's 935/78 is an iconic car in the history of the brand's motorsport development. Perhaps the ultimate extension of the 911 silhouette, the long tail, huge wing, wide fenders, and long front overhangs make this car difficult to see as having come from a road car at any point, but the center section is pure street car-derived. Nearly 850 …

It’s Time To Watch A Couple 911 GT1s Roar Their Hearts Out

1/18/20191:34 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Bradley Brownell

  Porsche's 1998 GT1 is a little more hardcore than the 1997 version. It has bodywork that is more aggressive, the suspension completely divorced from the road-going roots, the engine boosted to within an inch of death. This thing had one purpose only, and that was to win at Le Mans. Luckily, it did just that. The prior 993-based …

10/2/20185:06 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Tommy Parry

This isn't the first time Adam Carolla's taken his ex-Newman 935 around Laguna Seca. Now a familiar face at the big-name vintage events there, he shows some genuine bravery when threading this $4.8M racing icon through traffic at this year's Rennsport. Though it's a bit like hanging a Picasso above the stove, competing in the 935 is what it was …

Derek Bell Tells us What It’s Like to Drive Le Mans at 249 MPH. At Night.

7/25/20182:24 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Tommy Parry

"You're in fifth gear; flat-out in fifth, for one whole minute. It's quite a long time. And you had time to reflect, and you just look around and you'd look around the car, and you'd almost want to pat it and say 'Come on, we can win this.' It was the most uncanny feeling because you were at one with the machine, which you never felt it—to me—at …

7/22/201812:25 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche Goodwood Adam Carolla

You don't need any words to appreciate the incredible soul and timeless performance icon that is Porsche's 935. In this video Adam Carolla drives his bright red Turbo Terror up the hill during the Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend. There isn't any voiceover or music or background track, and that's frankly the way we like it. This 935 can …

This Classic Documentary Follows Porsche at Sebring and the Targa Florio 1972

4/19/20189:51 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Tommy Parry

The roar of engines set to sub-standard audio and an authentic script has the ability to mesmerize any petrolhead. Add in the familiar punchy twang of Mario Andretti and the soothing tones of Vic Elford, then top it off with an award-winning soundtrack, and you've got a classic racing documentary that will please any watcher with a drop of oil in …

Adam Carolla Takes His ex-Paul Newman 935 to the Dyno!

Adam Carolla's Porsche 935 on Dyno

The way Adam Carolla idolizes Paul Newman is nothing new to fans of his CarCast program. That reverence, as well as a sizable wallet, pushed the former host of The Man Show to purchase Newman's red 935 a couple years ago for nearly $5,000,000, and he's been racing it regularly ever since. The Porsche which took Newman to a class victory at Le Mans …

This Fierce Sideways Battle Between Two Porsches Is Five Minutes of Incredible Racing

3/21/20189:45 estFiled to: Vintage RacingBy: Bradley Brownell

During Saturday's rainy day racing at the 76th annual Goodwood Members Meeting, a pair of Porsche racers, Ambrogio Perfetti and Mark Bates, went toe-to-toe in one of the best vintage racing battles we have seen in a very long time. The pair were enrolled in the Ronnie Hoare Trophy race, chasing each other around the circuit for the honor of fourth …
