After delivering a stunning performance in qualifying to start the six-hour race at Fuji from pole and third, Porsche found out quite quickly in the race that it didn't have the long-run pace to keep up with the Ferraris. A byproduct of the series' Balance of Performance, and the car's inability to keep the tires from turning to mush …

Porsche customer team Dempsey-Proton wins Monza 6 Hour race GTE Am category
This weekend's six-hour round of the FIA World Endurance Championship went down in Monza, Italy to great fanfare.

The 911 RSR's time on this earth is nearly at a close, and the 2022 running of the Le Mans 24 is the last time the car will ever race in modern competition at La Sarthe. So it is incredibly fitting that this amazing mid-engine 911 race car managed to trounce the competition at Le Mans one last time. The GTE regulations will die at the end of the …

In a dark and rainy part of the world this Saturday, Porsche customer team Dempsey-Proton Racing found victory in the GTE-AM class of the FIA World Endurance Championship six-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps.

It has all the makings of a bad breakup. WeatherTech Racing and partner team Proton Competition are abandoning the Porsche brand for the remainder of their 2022 IMSA GTD Pro campaign, and made it a very public split with a formal press release on Tuesday afternoon.

On Friday evening Porsche drivers Michael Christensen and Kevin Estre teamed for a GTE Pro-class victory in the 1000 Miles of Sebring race to kick off the FIA WEC race season in flying fashion.

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.

Is Porsche even Porsche without a top-flight 911 race car? I guess we'll find out soon, because the current mid-engine 911 RSR will be the last of its kind for the foreseeable future. Because Porsche is shifting its focus to the LMDh prototype program, which will make its debut in 2023, it won't be developing another version of such a car. As the …

This weekend's FIA WEC season finale came down to a late-race intentional shunting and a race control deciding not to penalize for the action. In my absolutely biased opinion, this is a black eye on the sport, and the Ferrari team should be ashamed of their actions. When Porsche came to Bahrain for last weekend's six-hour event, it was clearly the …

After finding success in one of the hottest events of the season — with air temps in the mid-90s all day — Porsche now leads the constructor's championship in the GTE Pro category over competition from Ferrari.
