Motorsport Prospects 2020

18th March 2020 by: Glen Smale | 1 Comment

After the music had died down, and the last of the revellers had left the party that had just a few hours earlier welcomed in a new decade, little thought was given to life much beyond the next day or perhaps the next week, at best. And yet here we are, barely two months into the new year, and it seems that the whole world is in lockdown over the outbreak of a microscopic virus … [Read more...]

Porsche Sport 2019

12th February 2020 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

The 27th publishing of this superb edition of Porsche Sport 2019 by Gruppe C Verlag, opens with this paragraph, “The year 2019 marked exactly half a century since a new competition sports car from Porsche was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. It ranks among Porsche’s most legendary sports cars ever. Of course, we are talking about the Porsche 917, the car that gave the brand … [Read more...]

Sunset for Team Perfect Circle in Kyalami 9 Hour

25th November 2019 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

The ‘sunset’ for Team Perfect Circle in Kyalami 9 Hour occurred just three hours into the race when a mechanical fault ended the team’s dreams for a magical race on home soil. For the whole crew, it was a bitterly disappointing end to what had been such a positive build up to the race. Faced with a very real chance of scoring a solid finish with possible class honours, the trio … [Read more...]

2019 Kyalami 9 Hour Countdown

22nd November 2019 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

On 23 November 2019, the sound of approximately 15,000 bhp will break the long silence that has persisted over the famous Midrand circuit as twenty-eight top GT3 race cars tear down the start/finish straight in the SA 9 Hour for the first time in 37 years. The Kyalami race marks the final event in the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli season, and it is set … [Read more...]

11th October 2019 by: Glen Smale | 4 Comments

Last held officially as a 9-hour race back in 1982, Kyalami will play host to the revival of a great classic endurance race next month, the Kyalami 9 Hour. Run by the masters of the international endurance motor racing scene today, the SRO Motorsport Group, this event on the Highveld of the Transvaal (today Gauteng), will bring the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge to a … [Read more...]

ADAC Total 24 Hours – One for the Record Books

28th June 2019 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

I have worked at many race tracks in the UK and Europe over the years, but the Nürburgring has always escaped my schedule due to other commitments. What an introduction this year on my first visit there, when despite the forecast saying that there was only a small chance of rain, within the first couple of hours I had already been drenched twice. But drenching aside, this … [Read more...]

Porsche at the Nürburgring 24 Hours – Can 2019 Surpass 2018?

20th June 2019 by: Kevin Ehrlich | Leave a Comment

Depending on your view, the Gods of the Green Hell either restored Porsche to its rightful place on the top step of the podium or robbed the Mercedes AMG from a sure win in the 2018 Nürburgring 24 Hours. Looking back… Dramatic weather arrived starting around 2:30am after 11 hours of running. Lightning bolts streaking across the night sky announced the arrival of rain and … [Read more...]

Dirk Werner, Matt Campbell and Dennis Olsen clinched victory in the opening round of the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge at the twelve-hour race in Bathurst (Australia) on the spectacular Mount Panorama racetrack. While neither of the two works-supported Porsche 911 GT3 Rs could repeat the result this last weekend in Round 2 at Laguna Seca, one of the new cars did finish on … [Read more...]

For those who follow Porsche motorsport closely, the 26th edition of the well-known annual, Porsche Sport 2018, is definitely a book you want on your bookshelf. I have sung the praises of these publications before today, and for good reason, but this new offering is just that little bit better it seems. Porsche Sport 2018 covers all of Porsche’s major motor sporting … [Read more...]
