Porsche has confirmed in a recent report by Motorsport.com that their six-driver LMP1 squad will likely not transition intact to the German sports car legend's Formula E team when it kicks off during the 2018/2019 season. As it stands, the current team of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, Earl Bamber, Andre Lotterer, Neel Jani, and Nick Tandy …

Watch a 908LH Pursue a 917 Around Laguna Seca!
In hot pursuit of a Gulf 917, Gunnar Jeannette hustles this beautifully-kept 908LH around a slippery Laguna Seca at last year's Rennsport Reunion; keeping his car on the knife's edge and keeping us on our toes the whole time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s99qjBEKpHs Though the mellifluous flat-eight soundtrack might keep most motoring fans …

Getting your hands on a bonafide IMSA-spec 962 will cost a pretty penny, but for those of us not able to come up with the cash required, there's something which might evoke some of the same emotion the iconic sportscar could for a relative bargain. Well, perhaps that's an overstatement. However, this kart, which mimics one of the more …

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 …

We've been wrenching on "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, and it just keeps getting better. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. We're really happy with where this Boxster ended up, even though there were some fits and starts along the …

Adam Carolla isn't traditionally a "Porsche Guy," though that doesn't stop him going geeky on the brand's iconic racers. The Drive has now released two videos from Adam's time at Goodwood. The first centered on his ex-Paul Newman 1987 300ZX Turbo. This video is the second in the series, and features the Can-Am 917/30; the 1000+ horsepower monster …
Continue to the full articleOne Year With Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tires
Let me begin by saying that this report on my experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire is entirely based on subjective feedback. When we purchased our Boxster, the tires were already well worn, and certainly were not even in the same category of performance as the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires we have now. Not only that, but the old Sumitomo …

Last weekend was the 10 year anniversary of LeMons racing, and as such some teams went all out to impress the judges and their competition. In this case, Charnal House updated their old MetSHO racer to a scale model of Porsche's famous 935 "Apple Car". There isn't a single Porsche part on this car, but it's hard to tell that from a distance. In any …

Historic races are some of my favorite events to attend, purely for the sights, sounds, and smells of yesteryear racing. Unfortunately I was not at Spa during this classic racing event, so the smells won't be possible, but the sights and sounds are brought to us by the HistoricRacingHD channel on YouTube. Their videos are always a joy to watch and …

On paper, this Porsche seems like it would be a step backward from the GT3 RS. Yes it has the same 500 horsepower naturally aspirated engine, but almost everything else is different. There is a 6-speed manual gearbox, a narrower body and wheel set taken from the GT3. The fenders don't have those crazy louvers, and the rear quarters are smooth where …
