In 1962, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch had his first experience of motor racing – the 1000 km Nürburgring race: a decisive spark that ignited a passion in him that is still alive today, both for Porsche and for motor racing.


This collection of breathtaking photographs, beginning in 1963, immediately transports us to another time and another world, taking us on a journey through the history of endurance racing at Porsche, from Le Mans to Monza, via the Targa Florio and Spa Francorchamps. Accompanying his images with his own words, Schlegelmilch shows and tells incredible stories, both on and off the track.


Of course, the cars are the heroes of this book – it resonates with a deep love and sincere admiration for Porsches, renewed with each evolution of these legendary racing cars. From the custom-built prototypes of the mid-1960s – the 550, 718, RS and RSK models – continuing with the more powerful 907 and 908, and ending with arguably the most famous racing cars of all time – the 917, the 962 and, of course, the unbeatable 911, this is Schlegelmilch's visual love letter to Porsche.


He pays tribute to each model with his unique zoom technique, which converts the phenomenal movement and speed of racing cars into a totally fascinating and almost dizzying blend of depth and energy. In black and white or colour, it's as if you can feel the rush of their passing on your face.


However, while this book is perfect for those who live and breathe Porsche, it's not just about cars: the nervousness of the teams, the lively conversations between drivers, the blackened hands of the mechanics bent over the bonnets, the cracks and skid marks on the track. Schlegelmilch shows the reality of the racing world and leaves the glitz and glamour behind in favour of dust, grease and petrol fumes.
