In hot pursuit of a Gulf 917, Gunnar Jeannette hustles this beautifully-kept 908LH around a slippery Laguna Seca at last year's Rennsport Reunion; keeping his car on the knife's edge and keeping us on our toes the whole time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s99qjBEKpHs Though the mellifluous flat-eight soundtrack might keep most motoring fans …

Remember Paul Newman’s Porsche 935 That Adam Carolla Bought? Watch Him Drive it for the FIrst Time!
It was just under a year-a-go that Adam Carolla jumped head first into the Porsche market with the purchase of the ex-Paul Newman Le Mans' class winning 935 during the 2016 Gooding & Co auction in Monterey. While Carolla is no stranger to ex-Paul Newman race cars (it's reported he owns the largest collection of them in the world) this was his first …

The 5th annual Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance was a resounding success. In fact, PCDE Chairman Bob Ingram, and noted Porsche collector, said it best in Saturday’s press conference, "This is the best field we've ever had. We have the best judges of any car show in the country. The field today is comparable to what you'd see at Pebble Beach, …

I caught this image in 2007 at Daytona; a hard-fought duel between Jim Torres and Phil Daigrepont was a highlight of the last day of the third Rennsport Reunion.
