Saturday-Sunday, June 14-15, 2014, 3 p.m. CET/ 9:00 a.m. ET Race Duration. 24-Hours Classes. LMGTE-Pro (Porsche 911 RSR), LMGTE-AM (Porsche 911 RSR, Porsche 911 GT3 RSR) Porsche Profile. Event Story Lines Lights, Camera and Racing Action Patrick Dempsey (Malibu, California) might be best known for his movie and television roles but to race fans, he is recognized as a dedicated racer who first appeared at Le Mans in 2009. The Hollywood actor returns to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the third time on June 14th-15th. Dempsey – who drives with and owns the two-car Dempsey Racing program in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship’s GT Daytona class with a pair of Porsche 911 GT America racecars – returned to Le Mans co-driving a Proton Porsche in the LMGTE-AM category in 2013. Co-driving with Porsche factory ace Patrick Long (Playa del Rey, California) and business partner/team manager Joe Foster (Buford, Georgia), Dempsey fought for the lead in the pro-am class throughout much of the race. Eventually, the team finished narrowly off the podium in fourth-place. The only all-American driver combination comes back to France this year with an intention of finishing the business left undone last June. To that end, Dempsey Racing-Proton will compete in the “pro-am” class with a Porsche 911 RSR – built per ACO regulation to 2013 specifications, not the same iteration of the factory Porsche 911 RSRs competing in the LMGTE-Pro class – with the same driver lineup as last year. The No. 77 Dempsey Racing- Proton Porsche 911 RSR ran 11th at Le Mans’ official test day on June 1. Here in the States, Dempsey Racing currently sits 14th in the GT Daytona class team standings with the No. 27 Porsche 911 GT America driven by Dempsey and Andrew Davis (Athens, Georgia). All-Americans in Le Mans One tribute to sports car racing in North America is that either an American driver or one with strong professional ties to the continent is in a class-winning car at Le Mans almost every year. The first all-American driver team that won its class at the French classic was the Bob Holbert/Maston Gregory-driven Porsche factory-entered Porsche 718 RS 61 which won the Sports 2.0 class in 1961. The first American-entered Porsche team to win was 1976, as Tom Waugh, John Roulon-Miller and Jean Pierre Laffeach drove the Tom Waugh Racing Porsche 911 Carrera RSR to an IMSA class victory. The most successful American Porsche team has been Dick Barbour Racing, with class wins three years in a row (1978 – 1980). Drivers for Barbour included Americans Paul Newman, Don and Bill Whittington as well as a Barbour himself. The most recent American Porsche driver to win was Patrick Long in 2007. Long, who also won the GT2 class in 2005, is the only American Porsche winner who is entered in this year’s event. The most recent American Porsche team to score a class victory was Alex Job Racing/BAM! Motorsports with U.S. driver Leo Hindery as one of its drivers. See a complete list of key victories for Americans at Le Mans below. Porsche North America Well Represented at Le Mans While Porsche North America, the factory program competing in the TUDOR United SportsCar Series with the two-car Porsche 911 RSR effort, is not officially entered in Le Mans for the 24 Hour, the team is well represented. All six of the drivers who pilot the Nos. 911 and 912 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSRs in the IMSA-sanctioned GT Le Mans (GTLM) class, have key roles in Porsche efforts at La Sarthe. Porsche North America full-season regulars Nick Tandy (Great Britain) and Richard Lietz (Austria) will be split between the No. 91 and No. 92 Porsche Team Manthey Porsche 911 RSR factory entries respectively. Patrick Long (Playa del Rey, California) whose full-season ride is in the No. 912 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR, returns to the No. 77 Dempsey Racing-Proton team co- driving with Patrick Dempsey (Malibu, California) and Joe Foster (Buford, Georgia) in the LMGTE-Am class. The trio nearly took the podium in the class in 2013 finishing fourth after contending for the lead much of the race. Hinsdale, Illinois’ Cooper MacNeil is not a Porsche factory driver but is a past GT champion in North America and currently races the No. 22 WeatherTech Porsche 911 GT America for Alex Job Racing in the Tudor Championship’s GT Daytona (GTD) class. At Le Mans, he will join GTD regular Jeroen Bleekemolen (Netherlands) and Bret Curtis (Lake Sherwood, California) in the No. 79 Prospeed Competition Porsche 911 GT3 RSR giving a further presence of North American’s racing Porsche in France.

Jens Walther, President/CEO, Porsche Motorsport North America “The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the cornerstone event of sportscar racing around the world; this year, with the return of Porsche into the top class, this is even more so the case. While Porsche Motorsport North America does not have any direct participation in the race, we will be well represented in the biggest race of the year. All six of the drivers of the Porsche North America factory team are racing, five in the Porsche Team Manthey works Porsche 911 RSRs and the sixth, Patrick Long, leading the all-American lineup in the customer program Dempsey Racing-Proton Porsche 911 RSR. Another regular competitor in the IMSA GT Daytona class, Cooper MacNeil, will also be competing at Le Mans. We thank all our teams, their partners and drivers for the participation and wish them a successful race. Together, we are all endeavoring to repeat our 2013 performance of winning two classes at La Sarthe. Additionally, we’d like to do that one better by also taking the top honors with the Porsche 919 Hybrid in the LMP1 class. That would mark a very successful ‘return’.” Patrick Long, Driver, No. 77 Dempsey Racing-Proton Porsche 911 RSR “I like our chances at Le Mans this year. The Porsche 911 RSR is a big step forward from last year and we come back as a driver lineup that knows what we each need to do in order to bring a win home. In saying all that, we need to race the race and hit our marks for 24 hours. American teams and drivers have had great presence and success here over the years and in my opinion this race still is the flagship sportscar race in the eyes of most around the world including the USA. It’s a proud moment to take part each year, but the goal is always to win.

  • Porsche in Le Mans
    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • Once Upon a Wire Wheel
    Once Upon A Wire Wheel by Bernie and Norm Koglin This is the first in a series of articles recalling a few highlights from the fifty year history of the Chicago Region SCCA. Most of the information in this article is found in a history of the Club’s early years written by Fred Wacker some years ago. We also wish to thank Burdie Martin for the loan of his copies of the very earliest issues of PISTON PATTER which are an invaluable source. In the Beginning…… 1948- 1954 The term “sports car” would have meant very little to a vast majority of Americans in the years right after World War II. Then, MG TC’s began arriving in the U.S. and a few people started to take notice. Among them was Fred Wacker, who purchased one of the first little British cars in early 1948. In May of that year, Fred and Bud Seaverns drove the MG to Indiana-polis for the 500. After the race they were caught in the usual traffic jam, and came across Bill Spear and Sam Bailey, a couple of New Yorkers, in a Bentley. A mutual interest in their respective cars led to introductions, and in due course Fred and Bud heard of the “Sports Car Club of America” for the first time. Ownership of a “sports car” was an SCCA membership requirement at that time. Since Fred qualified in that respect, Bill and Sam suggested he become a member of the Club. After joining, Fred discovered there was no Chicago Region.

  • WRC Rallye D'espagne
    MEDIA INFORMATION November 2013 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship Round 7: 6 Hours of Shanghai Victory for the N°1 AUDI R18 e-tron quattro/MICHELIN, as Tom Kristensen/Loïc Duval/Allan McNish secure the 2013 WEC Drivers’ title After the torrential rain that forced the organisers to halt the recent 6 Hours of Fuji after just 16 laps, all spent behind the safety car, Audi Sport Team Joest and Toyota Motorsport GmbH were both eager to join battle once again this weekend in China. In contrast to the conditions encountered in Japan, the 6 Hours of Shanghai was marked by clear skies and warm weather (air temperature: approximately 25°C, and track temperatures up to 30°C) which enabled the teams to produce yet another thrilling show, with the outcome only settled with less than half-an-hour remaining. The pole-winning N°7 Toyota TS030-Hybrid of Wurz/Lapierre carved out an early lead, while the N°8 sister car – with Antony Davidson in command – engaged in a fight with André Lotterer in the N°1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro. On Lap 10, the British driver succeeded in finding a way past to ease into second place. The two Japanese prototypes then proceeded to dominate the top of the leaderboard until the eventful 143rd lap (190 laps completed in total). After 4½ hours of racing, the N°8 Toyota TS030-Hybrid was suddenly eliminated when its front- right suspension failed under barking for Turn 6. This promoted the N°1 Audi to second spot, approximately half-a-minute behind the N°7 Toyota, thanks to a strong stint from Benoît Tréluyer in the German car, as well as to a couple of time-consuming „moments‟ for the Japanese team‟s Nicolas Lapierre while overtaking slower competitors.

  • RSR Final Desc.Pages
    ! The 1973 Sebring 12 Hours Winning 1973 Porsche 911 2.8 RSR Ex. Hurley Haywood, Peter Gregg Chassis No. : 911.360.0705 • Without a doubt one of the most significant Porsche 911 of all time. • Run by the legendary Brumos Team and driven to outright victory in the 1973 Sebring 12 Hours by Peter Gregg, Hurley Haywood and David Helmick. • Retained and preserved in the long term collection of well known Porsche collector Dr. Bill Jackson. • A once in a lifetime opportunity to own the car that claimed one the three most important outright wins for the Porsche 911 of all time. Since the company was founded in 1931 by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, Porsche has been responsible for some of the most iconic cars of all time. Perhaps the most important of these is the Porsche 911, a design concept which has endured for more than half a century and is still successful both commercially on the road and in competition on the race track. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche’s son Ferry, the 911 was a replacement for Porsche’s 356 model and made it’s debut at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was originally badged as the 901 and had a 128hp, 1991cc flat 6 engine in boxer configuration, which was air cooled and rear mounted and mated to a five speed manual transmission. After a mere 82 cars had been produced, a legal challenge from Peugeot concerning the car name, led Porsche to change the name to 911. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com ! The Porsche factory did not decide to start racing the 911 immediately choosing to focus its attention on the purpose designed 906, 908 and 910 prototypes.

  • Audi R8 LMS Wins Again at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife
    Communications Motorsport Jürgen Pippig Eva-Maria Veith Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 34200 Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 33922 E-Mail: [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected] www.audi-motorsport.info Audi R8 LMS wins again at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife • Phoenix Racing wins the GT3 class in the 24h race • No luck during the race in fight for overall victory • Only two of the seven Audi R8 LMS on the grid make the finish Ingolstadt/Nürburg, May 16, 2010 – The Audi R8 LMS remains as best in class in the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife: Also during its second outing in the “green hell”, the world's longest and toughest race track, the mid-engine sportscar crossed the finish line as winner of the GT3 class (SP9). With third place overall in Phoenix Racing's Audi LMS R8 Marc Bronzel (Siek), Luca Ludwig (Roisdorf), Dennis Rostek (Porta Westfalica) and Markus Winkelhock (Berglen) presented the team with an unexpected surprise since this quartet did not even number among the favorites before the race started. The conservative and mechanically easy going driving style of the Phoenix squad, however, paid dividends: The Audi R8 LMS with start number 97 ran – apart from a small electronical problem during the opening stages – with the smallest technical problem. Of particular note was the performance of DTM driver Markus Winkelhock, who, after only landing a drive in the Phoenix team at the last moment, drove constantly fast lap times without any experience of the Nordschleife and in the closing stages convincingly defended the class lead.
