A very different Le Mans 24 Hours

25th September 2020 by: Glen Smale | 4 Comments

The 2020 motor racing season will undoubtedly go down in history as the most unusual and disrupted year on record. Only twice has the Le Mans 24 Hour race been rescheduled from its traditional June slot, to a later date in September, the first being in 1968 when the race was run on 28/29 September due to ongoing unrest in Paris. The second occasion was this race just finished, … [Read more...]

Those who have been following the sport for some … [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. This time last year we had a dry race with brilliant sunshine from beginning to end, but the forecast for the race tomorrow is for winter temperatures with rain and even snow. Our … [Read more...]

Porsche Le Mans entry list for 2019

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

On 21 March, the Le Mans entry list for 2019 was revealed for the 24-hour race which is to be held on 15-16 June. Just as in 2018, no less than ten 911 RSRs will be in action, with the potential for that number swelling to twelve if the two 911s on the Reserve list are moved up into contention as a result of other teams not taking up their places.

Second and third in Shanghai for Porsche after strong effort

19th November 2018 by: Porsche Road & Race | 2 Comments

Both the factory Porsche 911 RSRs finished on the podium at the final round in 2018 of the WEC in Shanghai.

But a second and third in Shanghai for Porsche were the rewards for the Stuttgart works team after putting in a strong effort. After six … [Read more...]

WEC Round 3 Silverstone 6 Hour Wrap Up

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

During the closing stages of FP2, I was photographing at Club Corner, just as the cars entered the start/finish straight. The #91 Porsche came past me a few times and as it accelerated up the straight, the engine sounded like it was misfiring. On Saturday evening after Qualifying, in the Porsche ‘Meet the Team’ interview session, I asked Gianmaria Bruni if this was the case and … [Read more...]
