Three totally new Porsche race cars set to make their competition debut in a one-week period
I don't recall a time in history when a single manufacturer introduced three all-new competition cars to the motorsport in the span of one week, but Porsche is set to do just that, starting this Friday.

Prior to 2022 Porsche had never even considered entering DTM as a constructor.
