OLD SCHOOL REUNION

Rennsport Reunion, Laguna Seca – the biggest Porsche festival in the world that also happened to celebrate Porsche’s 70th birthday this year. Quite the party, dripping in extraordinary metal. Where to start? The 919 Evo was there, tearing up the track for the last time before it’s wrapped in cotton wool. There were 908s, 917s, 910s, 956s, 962s, RSRs, an entire tent stuffed full of beautiful 356s, vintage 911s, modern 911s and, this being California, enough lowered and modified 911s to give Porsche’s compliance department a coronary. The real trick? The accessibility of it all. No ropes around cars, and drivers mingling like they used to before catch fencing and PRs. Just like the good old days.
