Take a Trip to 1982 With this Derek Bell Documentary

3/17/20202:51 estFiled to: Porsche 962, Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

Few racing drivers of Derek Bell's stature and success have been so unanimously liked. Typically, the top dogs have a deep-seated ruthlessness which leaves them divisive in the public eye, but not Bell. In this documentary on his efforts at the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans, Bell and his peers explain why this affable Brit hasn't shied from the …

If you're considering cutting back on caffeine, the blaring exhaust notes of these two Le Mans titans might provide that pep needed to begin the day. Truly, the sound these two big 12-cylinder engines shoved in tiny 917s get the hairs on the back of your neck standing up and your heart beating a bit faster. There aren't many motors as musical as …

The Truffle Hunter Returns to Le Mans in 2018

6/3/201812:51 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance ChampionshipBy: Chris Cushing

What is your favorite cut of pork? Do you like a bit of cured Brust? Haxe? Koteletts? Huft? Perhaps you are an American, and prefer pork cracklins'? As a Porsche fan, you probably prefer your pigs whole and depicted over a short and stubby racing car. 917/20 claimed fame as the Pink Pig; a racer which appeared wider than it was long, emblazoned …

Neel Jani on his 2016 Le Mans Victory

6/9/201710:07 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance ChampionshipBy: Chris Cushing

2016 may be the most challenging Le Mans finish in recent years to watch. Even as a devout Porschephile, watching Toyota's car slowly come to a stop with so little time left in the race was heartbreaking. As Norbert Singer said, "Le Mans is not just top speed, it is also durability. You have to run first 24 hours, then you can see where you are." …

Porsche’s Classy goodbye to Their Rivals at Audi

12/15/20161:55 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance ChampionshipBy: Chris Cushing

Racing rivalries are a funny thing. Unlike rivalries in the NFL, it's possible for every set of "rivals" in a series to be on-track simultaneously. Over decades of endurance racing, Porsche has had many great rivals. Each of these competitors pushed Porsche to be greater on track than ever before. Since returning to LMP1 competition in 2014, …
