Porsche might not be a brand that normally comes to mind when talking about drifting, but Porsche drivers have been pitching their cars sideways for decades. From the 356, through to the most modern 918 Spyder drifting on ice, Porsches are no strangers to big angles. D. Rawberts takes being crossed up to a whole new level, however, with a wild …

Porsche 917K- CFD designs can’t compare…
... Aesthetically, at least. 1970 was the 917's first truly successful year of racing, thanks to the efforts of John Wyer's Gulf team to improve the car's aerodynamics. After noting an absence of dead gnats on the car's rear bodywork during testing, Wyer's chief engineer cobbled together new rear bodywork in the pits from scrap aluminum. The new …

I have been wrenching on my own cars since I got a drivers license. At first it was because I couldn't afford to have my cars cared for by professionals, but these days its because I find enjoyment in time spent in the garage.
