Porsche dominates final IMSA GTLM race with stunning 1-2 finish at Road Atlanta
It is the end of an era. IMSA's once highly successful GTLM class built around international GTE specification grand touring race cars is now dead. As the checkered flag fell on the 24th running of the Petit Le Mans race in Georgia this weekend, with it fell a giant of international motorsport. As the class which once saw competition from Porsche, …

It says perhaps more about me than it does Patrick Long that I still refer to him as a "young gun" in motorsport. He joined the Porsche factory squad in his twenties, and I've kind of always thought of him as being youthful and exuberant. Time marches on for all of us, including the incredibly talented Patrick Long, who is now in his forties. After …

There won’t be a 992-generation 911 RSR

Volkswagen Group CEO says Porsche won’t be issuing an IPO just yet
In recent years it has seemed inevitable that every automotive manufacturer would be spun off into its own stock IPO. After all, why not? If Tesla can be valued over one trillion dollars, why can't Porsche? What does Tesla have that Porsche doesn't? We've recently seen Volvo's Polestar spun off and IPO'd with a SPAC.

Fancy sports cars, and particularly those found at race tracks, have typically been the play things of men, usually wealthy men. Motorsport is an old boys club, but two-time IMSA champion Christina Nielsen is on a mission to prove that many women are into cars, and potentially racing, as well.
