For the first time in nearly 15 years Porsche will have a factory motorsport presence participating in the 24 Hour of Le Mans. A lot has changed since Porsche last competed with their GT1. Not the least of which is how to stay informed. Besides television, radio and online streaming, Twitter now holds a spot in how we get our news. Not only can Twitter provide an up-to-the-minute view of what’s happening in the race, it can provide you with intimate details and insight from the drivers and teams themselves. In fact, I know of no other way to stay as closely and accurately informed about what’s happening in the Porsche world before, during and after the race (even if you were at the event itself) than by utilizing the resources we compiled for you below.
