This past weekend was Rennsport Reunion V. The event was the place to be for any Porsche enthusiast as historic competition machines from the automaker took to Laguna Seca.
The amount of cars in the Monterey Peninsula from the German performance manufacture was simply staggering. Just about everywhere you looked in or around Laguna Seca was a Porsche.
Rennsport Reunion V is happening right now at Laguna Seca in the Monterey area. What better place to debut the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition than at the event that the car is named after?
The limited production model is built by Porsche Exclusive and there will only be 25 examples made. It is based on the standard GTS so it has the same very good 430 horsepower flat-six engine.
When you think of great race cars the Porsche 917 has to make the list of the best ever. In the early 70’s these cars were able to hit very high speeds with brakes that were, well from the early 70’s. This makes the drivers of these cars appear to be superheroes with how they drove these powerful machines.
The 917 was very successful in its day with wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Spa and more. The above pictured 917K took home a first place finish at Spa in 1971 and now it will return to the track during Rennsport Reunion V which starts tomorrow.
This week is Rennsport Reunion V. The event is the place to be for Porsche enthusiast as historic competition machines take over Laguna Seca.
From September 25th-27th about 2,000 iconic road and track Porsches will take to the track near Monterey, California. Plenty of vintage and historic cars will race around the circuit or be on display.
Rennsport Reunion V will take place September 25th-27th. It is the place to be for any Porsche enthusiast as you will see many of the cars made by the German marquee take to Laguna Seca. This is one of the few chances to see some of these historic machines in action.
Even if you aren’t a huge fan of Porsche, the chance to see a Le Mans winning 917 get driven as it was meant to be will make this event worth it. It is like going to the Porsche museum and watching the cars drive instead of just sitting there on exhibit.
