The fifth edition of the Porsche Rennsport Reunion was staged September 24-27, 2015 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, California. The largest event worldwide with historic Porsche race cars and legendary Porsche race drivers lured over 50,000 spectators to the circuit on the Monterey Peninsula.
The Porsche Rennsport Reunion event takes place about every three years and last took place in 2011 at Laguna Seca. The Reunion is an amazing gathering of motorsports past and present: competition (club racing, historic racing, IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge), display (with cars from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, and throughout the world), and an opportunity to see, meet and spend time with some of the greatest drivers to ever climb behind the wheel of a Porsche race car — Ickx, Bell, Stuck, Haywood, Mass, Bergmeister, Long, and Bleekemolen, to name just a few.
From the three days of nearly nonstop on-track action with 320 racing Porsches, to the more than 100 cars on display Le Mans-style for Saturday’s Concours on the Pit Lane, to multiple autograph sessions, to the 75 cars in the Chopard Heritage Display to the more than 2,000 Porsche cars in the corral parking areas, the Porsche Rennsport Reunion V will long be remembered and not soon to be surpassed … until Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI.

Awesome photos, Trevor!
Very nice !
I enjoyed that. Thank you.
“For readers tired of hearing about juiced-up Volkswagens…….” that’s me! No offence Trevor, your pics are great 🙂
Much better pictures than the usual ubiquitious panned racing shots. These are beautiful because of the photographer’s use of light, close ups, odd angles – real creativity which makes us feel as if we were there. I wish you’d have half your published shots like these, the rest “at full chat” racing shots. However you say that in German.
