SportErfolge

3rd June 2020 by: Glen Smale | 1 Comment

Simply titled, SportErfolge (English: Success in Sport), this book came my way quite by surprise. It is not a book I knew anything about until I spotted it on the internet, and decided to look for a copy. As a writer on Porsche matters, I thought that I had a fairly good grip on what was being published on this marque, but to be honest, at the time this book was published my … [Read more...]

6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps Preview

3rd May 2019 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

Our second trip to Spa in the 2018/2019 Super Season takes place at a time when the teams, across all four classes, have built up a considerable depth of experience and momentum in the championship.

End of the road for Porsche’s 919 Hybrid

5th March 2019 by: Kevin Ehrlich | 3 Comments

In July 2017, Porsche shocked the motorsport community when it announced the end of its top tier prototype racing program a year early, in order to prepare for a move to Formula E. After returning to the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2014, Porsche and its 919 Hybrid frequently visited podiums and victory lanes. Three consecutive overall wins at the … [Read more...]

Brian Redman – Daring Drivers, Deadly Tracks

15th August 2018 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Brian Redman is about as down-to-earth as they come, which for a top-flite racing driver, is not an attribute common to all who ply their trade in this field. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Brian on twelve occasions in the last decade, and he has never been anything other than willing, cooperative and a true gentleman. In one of our early conversations, Brian … [Read more...]

Porsche starts the new world championship season at Spa in the six-hour race at the famous circuit in the Ardennes region of Belgium on 5 May 2018. This is the first race on the 15-month long Super Season of the FIA Sports Car World Endurance Championship WEC.

Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo is faster than Formula One

11th April 2018 by: Glen Smale | 2 Comments

In the year following a third consecutive WEC title, Porsche is taking its World Championship winning race car around the world on a ‘goodbye tour’. The Stuttgart company is well aware that a little bit of good PR never did anyone any harm, and so in an attempt to show that the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo is faster than Formula One, a challenge was set up. Read on and find out just … [Read more...]
