From Sept. 25 – 27, Porsche race cars, drivers and collectible models will gather in California, on the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, marking the world’s largest gathering and reunion of this type: the Rennsport Reunion V.
Of course, those who are attending want to be sure that everything is in tip top shape ahead of time. That means a lot of time spent behind the wheel of Porsche’s greatest racecars, and /DRIVE was able to capture one of these incredible machines doing just that.
