Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world
of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover
it all!
At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like
to
share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't
fit
into the magazine this month.
Featured is the report on the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta
where the GT2 championship was almost decided between the Alex
Job and Petersen/White Lightning teams. At Laguna Seca two weeks
later the champions were chosen and for this month's gallery we
show you Leonard Turners photos of the teams that scored big for
Porsche this season.
We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you
get your copy? Join
PCA, Porsche Panorama is a prime benefit of membership!
