Updating The Porsche Bible: The New Edition Of Excellence Was Expected Is Bigger, Better, And More
Karl Ludvigsen is simply in his element when it comes to the history of the Porsche brand. This epic set of tomes is the most complete history of Porsche that has ever been written by anyone, bar none, end of discussion. Since I started here at FlatSixes, I've relied on the old 2008 edition of this book to provide historical context and deep dive …

There is no more appropriate time for our review of Hurley - From the Beginning to publish than the birthday week of the man himself. Hurley, now seventy years old, held a fifty-year racing career, and shows no signs of slowing down, even today. He's still a super quick driver, he's involved in motorsport to a level higher than anyone would ever …

Much has been written about the movie, the story and its characters in the 47 years since Le Mans first debuted on the big screen. So much so, one might wonder what's left to publish? Haven't all the stories been told? Fortunately, for those McQueen and Le Mans fans who just can't get enough, Delius Klassing latest tome, Our Le Mans - The Film, …

Porsche's 956 and later 962 owned the international sports car scene in the 1980s and 90s with sweeping victories across the world in Group C competition and here in the US with IMSA's GTP series.

Dr. Jim Lowe had better hope that no other Neurosurgeons decide to take up air racing. Barring that, his title as World's Fastest Neurosurgeon is probably pretty safe. Dr. Lowe is also a pretty serious contender for the "most interesting man in the world". In addition to racing, Dr. Lowe is a golfer, competitive surfer, and 30-year veteran of the …

I want to begin by mentioning that I purchased this book over a year ago ahead of the 2016 holiday season, and it just arrived at my doorstep yesterday. Even after all that wait, it must be said that it was well worth it once the book was in my hands. Dwight Knowlton has knocked the ball straight out of the park with his third children's book …

Every year publishers and authors send us Porsche book after Porsche book for us to review. We do our best to read and review as many as possible, but we simply can't get to all of them.

Continue to the full articleBook Review: Porsche 70 Years by Randy Leffingwell
Randy Leffingwell is a writer that I respect greatly. I met him once at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance years ago, and he could not have been a nicer and more encouraging fellow [Randy was actually one of our first interviews years ago]. Randy's primary source material tends to bounce between Mustangs, Corvettes, and Porsches, all of which I …
