Rennsport Reunion IV 2011 Porsche Racecars Gallery 1


Back in 2001, Porsche racecar driver Brian Redman, though Brian Redman's Intercontinental Events, Inc. and Porsche Cars North America, Inc. teamed up to run a few old Porsche race cars at the Lime Rock Park race track.

This one marque event became a instant hit. People wanted it to be run on various tracks all over the world. But so far the event has stayed in the US. Rennsport Reunion II and III was held on the high banks of Daytona International Speedway in 2004 and 2007 setting the stage for running the event every 3 years or so.

This year, 2011 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the Rennsport Reunion IV will make its first appearance on the West Coast of the US, and is billed as " The world's greatest gathering of Porsche race cars and the drivers that drove them to victory", reuniting the cars and drivers that together have written Porsche's motorsports history during the last 60 years on all five continents.

R5, was one of the RS/RSR development fleet of factory racers, which Norbert Singer was called on to create. R5 was constructer around a 911 body shell during February 1973. R5 ran the 1000 Kms of Dijon, the third Makes round of the year and won the GT division driven by Gijs van Lennep and Herbert Müller.

After being wrecked during the Nürburgring's 1000 kilometer event, R5 was set aside until Singer started the Carrera RSR Turbo, project. R5 was used as a proof of concept prototype for the new 934s and 985s that would appear in 1976. R5 became the first ever in the use of turbo charging for a production-based race car.

R5 gained several modified components as a test platform for developing the RSR Turbo and ran in the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans almost finishing 1st overall, ending in second place.

Gunnar Racing purchased the car and reconverted it between 2000 to 2008 back to its 1973 factory racer configuration.
