We've been in love with the Porsche 908 for some time now. I don't know if it's suspension activated ailerons in the 908LH or the open cockpit of the 908/2, but there's something about that flat-8 engine howling with pleasure as it completes lap after lap that just puts a big smile on my face. Interestingly, the 908/2 started as a …

Stunning Flat 8 Sound: 908 Langheck Races At Spa
Historic races are some of my favorite events to attend, purely for the sights, sounds, and smells of yesteryear racing. Unfortunately I was not at Spa during this classic racing event, so the smells won't be possible, but the sights and sounds are brought to us by the HistoricRacingHD channel on YouTube. Their videos are always a joy to watch and …

This is an incredible onboard video, possibly one of the best out there. Captured by Racer.com, they fitted a GoPro to Bruce Canepa's head, and allowed us to ride along inside his Flat-12 powered 917. The windshield makes for a dramatic viewpoint, but the inside of the Porsche is almost equally exciting. You can see Bruce slamming the shift lever …

One of the highlights of Rennsport Reunion V, for me, was being able to see one of Porsche's most interesting aerodynamic concepts in action, the Suspension Activated Ailerons found on the rear bodywork of the Revs Institute's 908 LangHeck. I've had a keen interest in the advancement of aerodynamic study in the late 1960s and early 1970s, because …

Friday Friday morning, the time on the clock reads four hundred hours. Reno is uncharacteristically quiet and calm at this time of day, as we're only the city that nearly never sleeps. Thursday evening, I'd rolled my suitcase into the trunk of Project Boxster and packed a few bottles of water for the early morning journey. The traditional and …

Have you seen enough Monterey Motorsport Reunion onboard videos yet? We've already shown you some onboards from Patrick Long, Leh Keen, and Bruce Canepa, so how about Gunnar Jeannette driving the Revs Institute's Gulf-liveried Porsche 908/3? The track doesn't change from those other videos we've shown, but the surrounding cars do, and the shift …

Bruce Canepa doesn't do things in half measures. If he's going at it, he's going whole hog. That's true in his restoration business, and that's true in his fanatical style of vintage racing. He was on an absolute flyer in this session, and I'm so glad that it was all on video. This is masterfully produced, by the way, as the commentary is even …

However, after a clutch problem sidelines …
