Who Needs Coffee When These Intense Porsche Supercup Battles Exist?

9/8/20206:28 estFiled to: Porsche MotorsportsBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Of all the support series on a Formula 1 weekend, it's typically the single seaters usually which get the most attention.

Project 944 GTS Mini Update: Rear Konis and Snapped Nuts

10/9/201712:03 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing7 Comments

Yes, a mini update. For some reason, I expected replacing the rear shocks on Project 944 GTS would be a more time consuming job than it wound up being.

8/28/201710:51 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing7 Comments
