Since Porsche’s first-class victory at Le Mans in 1951, the connection between its race cars and road cars has been closer than any other manufacturer. In this walk-around seminar, Ben Chester, Operations Manager at the Audrain Automobile Museum, takes a deeper look at how Porsche’s competitive spirit and engineering breakthroughs on the track have continuously shaped the cars we see on the road today.

From the pioneering lightweight designs of the 1950s to the turbocharged innovations of the 1970s, and the cutting-edge aerodynamics and hybrid technology of today, Porsche’s evolution is a story of relentless refinement. Join us as we explore how racing has defined Porsche’s legacy and how that Rennsport spirit continues to drive the brand forward.
