We come to car brands for different reasons. Maybe your dad drove a car that became special to you. Or. Perhaps a cool car was featured in a movie you loved, or you remember the excitement of races seen either in person or on TV. Then you get deeper into a brand and learn about its history, its accomplishments, and the people who made it work. If you're lucky, your appreciation grows by experiencing the cars, or buying one...or 10..
Motor Authority was there to take in the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of a legendary brand celebrating the cars and people that have created so many fans worldwide.Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7, photo courtesy of PorscheAnd there was plenty to see, starting with the action on the track. Throughout the event’s four days, more than 300 modern and historic cars grouped by era and speed, hit the circuit to the delight of drivers and fans.
Speaking of legends, several successful drivers from Porsche’s past were on hand to drive the cars and act as brand ambassadors. Among the names were Derek Bell, Dick Barbour, Joerg Bergmeister, Timo Bernhard, David Donohue, Romain Dumas, George Folmer, Hurley Haywood, David Hobbs, Jacky Ickx, Leh Keen, Arie Luyendyk, Brian Redman, Danny Sullivan, Mark Webber, Jeff Zwart, and co-Grand Marshall Patrick Long. Long was joined by Alwin Springer as the other co-Grand Marshall.
The parking lot itself was an outstanding car show in its own right. Fans drove Porsches of every stripe to the event and parked with cars by era, with gleaming, rounded sheetmetal bringing color to the arid landscape. Onlookers could sidle up close to the race cars in the paddock, and Porsche had displays of several important new models and concepts, including the including Mission X concept, the Vision 357 Speedster concept, and the new 911 S/T. Also on hand were Mirage, the 911 Carrera RS 3.
In this gallery you can see many of the sights of Rennsport Reunion 7. You won’t be able to hear the angry bee howl of the cars, smell of the exhaust, or meet the people. For that, may I recommend attending Rennsport Reunion 8, which should be held at the same place four years from now.
