While Porsche didn't quite get the victory that they were hoping for in either GTE Pro or GTE Am, the sports car maker managed to secure all four of the FIA WEC GTE class championships.

Just like last year, Porsche has amassed a full grid of ten GTE-classed 911 RSR in an attempt to take on the best comers from Ferrari, Ford, BMW, Corvette, and Aston Martin.

As part of the grand celebration of the 917's 50th birthday, several major names were given the chance to parade some of the most iconic variants of the car at Goodwood's 77th Members' Meeting last month.

"For those of you hoping to hear stories about racing, you will be disappointed. I am going to talk about gardening," is a rather inauspicious start to three quarters of an hour with one of the top drivers in history. To Ickx, however, it's a logical place to start.

Since parting company with the 919 Hybrid, Marc Lieb, Romain Dumas, and Timo Bernhard have returned to their roots in GT racing, with each of them driving for Porsche's customer teams at this year's 24 Hours of Spa. Recapping on nearly two decades of racing, much of which they shared as teammates, the three drivers have clearly lost none of the …
