Porsche’s 992-generation GT3 R racer will take on Le Mans and more
The 991-generation 911 RSR has served a long life and won many awards, but from the end of the 2023 season the king is dead. Long live the king! The new 911 GT3 R will take over where the 911 RSR left off, as the GTE class is set to die off in the FIA WEC after next season and be replaced by a simplified GT3 class. Luckily the GT3 class is already …

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. At least some of the beef seems to be in the fact that Porsche didn't lend …

There was something soothing about the way Jim Pace would narrate his onboard laps which always kept me glued to the screen. As it turns out, I wasn't alone. Many racing fans came together in commiseration last Friday after Jim passed away due to COVID-19. He was 59 years old. The jovial, enthusiastic, supportive racer's life revolved around …

Affable Kiwi and factory Porsche 911 RSR driver Earl Bamber usually shares his driving duties with Laurens Vanthoor as half of the duo colloquially known as #BamThor. The pair can typically be seen racing in IMSA's GTLM class where they dominated the 2019 championship standings. You may also recognize Earl as part of the 919 Hybrid LMP1 team that …

The IMSA racing season has been on hiatus since January due to the international pandemic still quietly raging in the background. Because so few states have allowed for large gatherings, the series is limited on where it can go right now, which means another run at Daytona follows the 24 Hours as round two.

It's a bit strange to think that twenty-five years ago, Porsche planned to take the 959 into international sports car racing. Especially for its time, the tech-heavy 959 was so sophisticated that running one in an endurance race must've made the engineers weep and kiss their family lives goodbye. However, it was indeed built to fit into the Group B …

We are loving these throwback liveries. Porsche's modern liveries are rather understated; the typical black, red, and white schemes used today are far less vivid than schemes of the past.
