PANORAMA
Photo Gallery from our current issue.
March 2008
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 in the March issue is the Rolex 24-Hour race at Daytona. It was a
long, dark day for Porsche enthusiasts hoping for high finishes for our DP prototypes
and GT 911s, but PCAers managed to find a way to have fun. For this month’s
Gallery, we show you some of the activity in the PCA Paddock just past the international
turn in the infield along with Leonard Turner’s photographs of some of the
911 contenders as they raced through the dark.
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!
