https://youtu.be/iI-rscHyiKI Norbert Singer once noted how differently the IMSA-spec 962s sounded from their WSC counterparts. The reason why: a different turbocharger and exhaust arrangement made a major impact on sound. In this stimulating footage, we get a glimpse of just why the North American variant was such a capable car on long, …

Porsche Had A Very Bad Day At The Le Mans 24 This Year
It's been fifty years since Porsche won its first Le Mans outright, with Richard Attwood and Hans Herrman taking the win in the iconic red and white team Salzburg 917. In the fifty years since, Porsche has risen to become the single manufacturer with more experience and more victories at this legendary race than any other. But experience doesn't …

A few months ago Porsche announced that it would be pulling two of its entries from the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020, thanks to budgetary cutbacks in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. The two IMSA team entered cars have been pulled, and only the two full-season WEC 911 RSRs will run in the 24 this year. This will be Porsche's smallest …

After the sixth IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship round Porsche has still not found its way to victory lane. Of the three manufacturers in the class, BMW has two wins, Corvette has four, and Porsche none. The same specification 911 RSR has victories in the FIA WEC, but the IMSA crew's #911 and #912 keep getting the shaft. This weekend the …

All through the week leading up to the 98th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb it was a Porsche in the lead of almost every session. With David Donohue's glorious GT2 RS Clubsport featuring a few extra bits for the attack on the mountain, the combination of car and driver were just plugged in and ready from day one. Donohue …

In all the sports car races I've attended, it's usually the shrill scream of the RSR which forces me to cork my ears the most. The note itself is blaring, but its almost subdued compared to the deafening pops of upshifting which punctuate it. It's a high price we pay being racing fans; in my book, a little tinnitus and an almost constant sunburn …

After the success of Porsche's WEC team racing last weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, the IMSA team was expecting some good results in Saturday's GT-only round at Virginia International Raceway. Unfortunately, a series of nasty events saw the 911 and 912 finish no higher than 3rd and 5th in the 6-car class. Competition from BMW and Corvette was stiff, …

Gunther Werks' Sting has the presence of an old racing car. It squeezes 295- and 325-section tires underneath its widened carbon haunches, as well as Fuchs-style wheels and massive Brembo CCM-R brakes. It looks nothing but business, and yet its adjustable suspension makes it a civilized thing to drive slowly. I may be a bit biased, but I think …

Porsche's GT team rolled into the sixth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps ready to take on the world, or at least the best from Ferrari and Aston Martin. After winning the opening round of the championship at the 4 hours of Silverstone last September, Porsche has been shut out of the top step of the …

The 11th and final race of the 2019/20 season of FIA Formula E took place on Thursday afternoon, again from the Tempelhof Berlin airport. Building from the success of round 10, Porsche had hoped for another big points haul, but it was not to be.
