Hapeville-based Porsche unveiled on Wednesday, June 13 the official poster of Rennsport Reunion VI, the world’s largest gathering of vintage and contemporary Porsche race cars. The September 27-30 event will take place at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca near Monterey, California.
Porsche Pays Homage To Past With New RennSport Poster
This year’s event pays homage to the pantheon of Porsche motorsport champions, and the poster depicts three of the most significant players: the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring-winning Type 718 RS 60, the first overall endurance race winner from Porsche; the 2008 RS Spyder which famously punched above its weight by winning races overall in the American Le Mans Series in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP2) class; and the 959 Group B rally car, which after winning the grueling 6,200 mile Paris–Dakar off-road rally in 1986 went on to become the world’s fastest production street-legal road car.
RRVI Poster (PRNewsfoto/Porsche Cars North America, Inc.) Hosted by PCNA, Rennsport Reunion VI will again feature the widest variety of historic racing models in competition as Porsche celebrates the 70th anniversary this year of its first sports car.
