Racing Porsche with Style

21st October 2020 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

This is Stéphane Coradi’s third publication, and the third of his books that I am reviewing. It must be said that Stéphane’s enthusiasm for his work is so irrepressible, it’s contagious. But that is refreshing, because he really encourages the contributors to show their work in his books and it is paying off for those artists because he goes the extra mile in trying to give … [Read more...]

Porsche at Teloché, Le Mans – Logistics Part I

11th March 2019 by: Glen Smale | 11 Comments

Porsche has been represented at the Le Mans 24 Hours every year since 1951, in both an official factory capacity and by privateer entries. No other manufacturer can boast such a long unbroken record of runs at Le Mans since their first race in this classic French endurance race. For Porsche, their attendance from 1951 to 2018 amounts to 68 consecutive races at Le Mans, and this … [Read more...]

It’s all happening at the Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI

28th September 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Porsche’s sixth edition of the by now much-anticipated Rennsport Reunion kicked off on Wednesday 26 September 2018. You could have expected that this would be a really big one for Porsche, with it being their 70th anniversary year, but the Stuttgart manufacturer really pushed the boat out with this one. Already the news wires are ringing hot with the announcement of the new … [Read more...]

Porsche 930 to 935: The Turbo Porsches

21st June 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Much has been written about Porsche’s racing exploits over the years, but there is perhaps one model that has served, more than any other, as the pillar of the company’s achievements. Prototypes have come and gone, and Porsche has even dabbled in Formula racing, but it is the 911 that has been the mainstay of the company’s competition success. In particular, it was the Porsche … [Read more...]

Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick – A Legend in its own Time

8th June 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Group 5 rules offered manufacturers a great deal of freedom to modify their cars in the Silhouette class. At Porsche, Norbert Singer pushed the rules to the limit, and gave us the Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick, truly a legend in its own time. Introduction In the 1970s, Porsche had several things going for it on the motorsport stage. Firstly, they had built up a wealth of … [Read more...]

Porsche’s 70th anniversary – we look back 40 years to 1978

23rd May 2018 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

The Porsche company, now 30 years old in 1978, had moved from being the small-scale manufacturing company to being a significant player, albeit in a niche market. The front-engined transaxle 924 model, introduced in 1976, was now selling twice the number of units that the 911 was selling. This had eased the financial situation for the company and given them some money to go … [Read more...]

Goodwood 76th Members’ Meeting report back

23rd March 2018 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

I know that motor racing circuits around the UK are renowned for being cold places, and that’s because many of them were built around airfields following World War II. So, open and flat places they tend to be, and this of course offers zero protection from the elements. Activities surrounding this last weekend’s 76th Members’ Meeting at the Goodwood Motor Circuit certainly … [Read more...]

Goodwood 76th Members’ Meeting

16th March 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Set for this weekend, 17-18 March, the 76th Members’ Meeting at the Goodwood Motor Circuit is bound to be an absolute humdinger. If you are a Porsche enthusiast, then I hope that you have your ticket safely tucked away, ready for the weekend. But be warned to wrap up warmly, the weather forecast is for another cold blast from the east with possible snow on the … [Read more...]

Dick Barbour goes to Le Mans

9th March 2018 by: Martin Raffauf | 8 Comments

Dick Barbour went to Le Mans as an entrant for the first time in 1978. He entered two Porsche 935s at the classic French Enduro. He had started racing in IMSA in 1977 after having bought one of the original ten Porsche 934.5 models offered by the factory for IMSA racing in 1977. He ran some of the IMSA races with mixed success in 1977. Towards the end of the season, he and Bob … [Read more...]
