There won’t be a 992-generation 911 RSR
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.

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.

Leading up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, Porsche looked in an extremely strong position to score yet another class victory in the world's greatest endurance sports car event.
