Check out Porsche's history and philosophy and you will learn why racing is important...



As if being a 911 /Porsche fan for 35 years doesn't qualify me to know a little something of their racing history ? LeMans victoy rates NO newspaper or other media coverage in US other than a half page or so in Autoweek .

Sadly, in the US, Most Formula 1 results are barely published in local Bay Area papers , a hotbed of US sports car enthusiasm.
OTOH, American kids grow up idolizing the manufactured " racers " of NASCAR, where fans don't know the cars or makes or care . In fact, the broadcast races only refer to the car number as a way to identify the DRIVER, as the cars are for all intents and purposes, spec racer rolling billboards for beer and laundry detergent companies . It's about the STARS , and the cars don't matter.
