There’s nothing like a guy like Hurley Haywood giving some first hand history of Rennsport. The guy won the Rolex 24 hours at Daytona six times! Among other career accomplishments. This is a great video for any Porsche fan.

GEMBELLA Goes The Racing Route

I’ve been debating for a while now about whether or not to post this, then decided today that given it’s history, GEMBALLA is too closely tied to the Porsche community to not post something. Plus these cars just looking stinkin amazing in my opinion. Announced a couple of weeks ago, it seems that one of [...]

Last week I posted a video shot from inside the cockpit of the Falkan Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 at this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring. This week, Nick sent me a video showing a similar view, only on at night. I haven’t seen one of these before. Pretty dang cool. The way you need to [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I find POV footage inside race cars mesmerizing. Whether it’s on a race track, road course, hill climb, whatever. It’s fascinating to me watching the lines the pros take and how they drive. This video is over 16 minutes of driver view goodness with a rear facing camera added in. It’s [...]

Jeff Zwart’s Record Setting Pikes Peak Run Video

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Pikes Peak 2011

This is a continuation to the video I posted on Monday. Jeff Zwart not only drove his Porsche 911 GT2 RS to Pikes Peak this year, traveling over 110o miles to get there, he ran the car up Pikes Peak in record setting time this year. Some really cool footage both in the car and [...]

The Road To Pikes Peak In A Porsche 911 GT2 RS Video

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Driven To Pikes Peak

One of the amazing things to me about the Porsche 911 is how closely some of the road going cars match to the track versions. Sure there are tires, weight savings from deleted creature comforts, and better fuel, but the degree of separation is rather small overall. This video, although not particularly exciting, has some [...]

Suuuuwwwweeeettt Flying Lizard Livery For 2011 Porsche 24 Heures du Mans Cars

Porsche Flying Lizard Livery 80 2011

Let me just say, if the commemorative livery on the Flying Lizard Porsche No. 80 and No. 81 cars don’t instantly make you want to partake in Porsche Motorsports, I’d seriously question your love of the Porsche marque. What Troy Lee put together for these cars from a design standpoint gets the juices flowing. And [...]

It’s the second race in the 2011 Long Distance Championship. Drivers Richard Lietz, Marco Holzer and Patrick Long had to pit [...]

Falken Motorsport Porsche GT3 R Onboard

Nick sent this in last week and it’s a heck of a great video. The perspective is just behind the driver’s head, complete with audio. One of those mesmerizing videos to me.
