will remember the 2014 race for a long time because Porsche won its class against the new Corvettes, Ferraris, AstonI Martin, BMWs, and Vipers. Patrick Long and his 5 team-mates of factory drivers in the two new Porsches with numbers of 911 and 912 did an outstanding job. # 911 finished first and #912 retired part way thru the race. I guess that is why it makes plenty of sense to enter two cars. Porsche #911 won the GT LeMans class at the 24 Hours of Daytona. Photos by Page Obenshain.

Patrick came into the tent with his team, introduced them and each gave a bit of their personal background. It was fun to have a Porsche factory team represented at Daytona and we really enjoyed having them in the tent before the race and having the opportunity to get to know a little about all of them. Jim drove the #71 car at the 48 Hours at Sebring and couldn’t be in any class there as the car was too powerful so Jim drove it in the exhibi- tion class.
