Skylar Robinson, son of famous American racer Chip Robinson, puts on a show in a raucous Porsche 962 making a peculiar series of noises. The 2.8-liter, twin-turbo six in the middle of his IMSA GTP racer squeaks and roars, and when the full 750 horsepower arrives in one big lump, it fires the car down Laguna Seca's straighter sections at a …

At Rennsport V, a collection of mouth-watering classics set out to run for stands full of fans. Some drivers take the whole affair casually; parading and showing off their wares, while others—unable to divorce themselves from their competitive instincts—take it much more seriously.

UPDATE: We first saw the announcement for this show during the first week in January. Since then, the museum has removed information about the event. We're not quite sure what's going on, but once we get in-touch with someone, we'll update this page. For now, we found the video below.

Originally sketched out by Rod Emory way back in 2012, the 356 RSR Outlaw has been a project that he's wanted to build for quite a while. When Henrique Cisneros, owner of Momo, spotted the sketch in Rod's archives, he knew that it had to be built.

When you hand the keys of a narrow-tired 911 T/R to seasoned veteran like Patrick Long, you can expect fireworks. Clearly, Long is focused on wringing the classic Porsche's neck and not terribly concerned with its value, but when you've driven the variety of machinery he has, at the level he has, you can't expect him to participate in a …
Continue to the full article800 Horsepower in the Fog: Laguna Seca in a 935.
Sports car racing in the 1970s and 1980s was a very special time. The Porsche 911 was one of very few cars which participated in both Group 4 and Group 5 racing. While the largely production-based 934 tackled Group 4, the wild 935 silhouette cars played in Group 5. With as much as 800-horsepower on tap, these were mythic beasts in every sense of …
