PORSCHE RESETS THE RECORD LAP TIME AT THE NÃœRBURGRING
As long as we are reporting record breaking times, here’s one from Germany.
VW ELECTRIC CAR SETS NEW RECORD TIME AT PIKES PEAK
Today, Romain Dumas took his Volkswagen I.D. R EV to a new record time of 7:57.148 over 12 miles and 156 curves to 9,000 feet in Colorado. Sebastion Loeb’s previous record at 8:13.878 set in 2013 with a gas powered Peugeot 208 T16 seemed unreachable. Welcome to the age of the electric car that Porsche helped design… Continue reading “”
MY BEST FRIEND HAD A BIRTHDAY TODAY
We have shared so many experiences together over the past 40+ years that it’s impossible to put them into words. Continue reading “”
MAKING PORSCHE RACING HISTORY IN BAJA
Here’s a look back at the drama and beauty that I experienced in April while following a pair of Porsche 911s – off road down Baja.
Follow me and the Rothsport Racing team from Ensenada to San Jose del Cabo over jumps, river crossings and endless silt beds. Continue reading “”
LE MANS 2018 WEEKEND
From the Porsche Newsroom:
“180 drivers and 60 vehicles will fight for victory at Le Mans. With four 510 hp Porsche 911 RSRs contesting the GTE-Pro class, Porsche fields the largest GT works contingent in the company’s history at the 13.626-kilometre Circuit des 24 Heures.” Continue reading “”
914/6 GT TRIBUTE
For June, I’ll have a couple of publications. The first will be in PCA Porsche Panorama Magazine.
It had to be orange, of course. Just like virtually every other real 914/6 GT raced by the Porsche factory Werks department. This tribute GT also had to start as a 914/6 to be eligible for racing today. It needed to be heard before it was seen too. Thanks to straight through pipes and no real muffler to speak of, that’s assured. Continue reading “”
WHO ORIGINATED THE LOUVERED 911 REAR DECK LID?
Nobody knows… What we do know is that Rolly Resos sold a muti-louvered Porsche 911 rear decklid that he had picked up at a Pomano Swap meet to a long-haired guy in scruffy clothes at the German Autofest in 2002. Continue reading “”
WHY NO AIRPLAY FOR AIMEE’S FIRST RECORD?
Whatever was the first solo record from Aimee Mann. It was released over 25 years ago this month to little fanfare, although it is arguably one of 1993’s best albums. Continue reading “”
R GRUPPE TREFFEN
Yes, I’ve been to every R Gruppe Treffen – 18 in a row. This year’s event in Buellton, California featured great weather and camaraderie. Having a drone to photograph stills and video ensured it was even more special. Thanks to all my friends for a wonderful time. Continue reading “”
MAY 911R GOODNESS
No, it wasn’t an April fool’s joke. This month’s Panormama Magazine features my interview with Kevin Jeannette and his purchase of Porsche’s 911R #15 for $9500. Check it out. It’s hilarious. Continue reading “”
PLAYTIME AT THE EMORY’S
Here’s my latest feature in Road Scholars Magazine. It’s an insight into Rod and Zayne Emory’s toy car collection. Lots of great stories are told against a backdrop of miniature models in their new Emory Motorsports shop in North Hollywood. Continue reading “”
THANKS TO THE ROTHSPORT RACING TEAM
Last year I was given the opportunity to photograph and write a feature article and short film on the two Rothsport Racing Porsche 911s, both of which finished the 2017 NORRA Mexican 1000 off-road race. Continue reading “”
CAMERON AND ERIC HEALY WIN AT THE MEXICAN 1000
A production-based Porsche 911 has never won its class at a Baja 1000 off-road race. Until now. Continue reading “”
2018 MEXICAN 1000 BAJA RACE
Check out my Instagram page to see how we are doing with the Rothsport Racing Porsche 911s in Baja! Continue reading “”
THE ULTIMATE 928 DIY RESTORATION
“Minerva’s Journey” is a behind the scenes look at what it takes to rebuild a 166,000-mile Porsche from the tub up to “as new” stock condition nearly 40 years after it left the factory.
William Anast and Rob Edwards deserve big kudos for this month’s publication of their 1978 928 refurbishment in PCA’s Panorama Magazine. This was an epic journey in more ways than one. No traffic on the Balboa Island ferry… Continue reading “”
