Warning: Lots of inappropriate profanity in the footage above. For Lars Kern, the man who set the 991 GT2 RS' record lap at the Nurburgring, this might've seemed like a casual jaunt through the forest. Braking early, giving the slower cars a wide berth, and avoiding much curb hopping, he strings together a respectable lap that wouldn't come …

Inside the Rennsport VI Family Photo
Thirty-eight historic Porsches graced the straight at Laguna Seca for the Rennsport VI family photo. Thirty-six cars, and two Porsche tractors. The presence of any one of these cars at a normal event would be noteworthy. If any one row of the included cars arrived at most events, it'd be the talk of the show. Perhaps that speaks to just how special …

Walking through Grand Central Station about a year ago, I stumbled across a Leica camera club. They were bedecked in Leica t-shirts, Leica hats, and Leica-branded camera-straps, and it seemed that half of what they were photographing was one another with their hilariously expensive cameras.

With his wife Petra co-driving, Ruben Zeltner shows how to take a 997 Cup Car by the scruff of its neck and bend it around corners strewn with dirt. The German rally ace uses forceful approach—flicking the car on entry and dabbing the handbrake—to avoid understeer and "bend" the car into the tighter hairpins. https://youtu.be/H6WwNsyG_mc This …
