It’s funny how things have a way of working out perfectly on the spur of the moment. Recently we covered the Team Perfect Circle’s preparation for the forthcoming Kyalami 9 Hour on 23 November 2019. Part of the lead up to the event included flying the Porsche 917 out to Johannesburg that David Piper and Richard Attwood drove to victory in the 1969 Kyalami 9 Hour. This iconic … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Book of the Porsche 356
Brian Long’s original book on the Porsche 356 was published in 1996, and this was later printed in softback form. A few years later a revised version of this book was published which included more colour and detail. That, though, was still a bit of a lightweight according to the author. This issue, now the third edition covering the 356, has been totally overhauled from start … [Read more...]
Dauer Porsche 962 LM GT #001
As the Dauer Porsche 962 LM GT celebrates its 25th anniversary (1994-2019), PORSCHE ROAD & RACE looks back at how this car came to exist at all.

2019 Petit Le Mans – Did IMSA leave the best for last?
IMSA of course has several Marquee events, including the Daytona 24-hour, Sebring 12-hour, Watkins Glen 6-hour, and the Petit Le Mans. The Petit Le Mans is a hold-over from the ALMS series of Don Panoz in years gone by, and in the years since the merger (Grand-Am series and ALMS), is the last race on the schedule at the end of the season. It is always run over a 10-hour … [Read more...]

As a fellow-Porsche author, we had often shared with each other some of the interesting processes of researching and writing books on matters relating to the Stuttgart … [Read more...]

The age of motorsport, when an aspiring photographer could amble around the paddock snapping world championship drivers, team personnel and stripped race cars, is long gone. Today, even with the required media accreditation, you have to elbow your way to the front of a crowd of spectators all brandishing mobile phones and point ‘n squirt cameras, only to find your progress … [Read more...]
Porsche 956 & 962 Owners’ Workshop Manual
It is a well-known fact that the Porsche 956 & 962 derivatives were together the most successful sports prototypes that have ever turned a wheel. So totally dominant were these cars during the Group C era (1982-1992), that a driver needed to ask himself a simple question – do I want to win or not? If the answer was ‘yes’ then he needed to get himself behind the wheel of a … [Read more...]
