9WERKS Radio : The Porsche and Car Podcast

Former Porsche works driver and father of the Luftgekühlt movement, Patrick Long, joins the boys for a feature interview. Pat discusses his early career in England, which included learning how to drink beer; how his love for air-cooled Porsche began with a drive in the Carrera Pan America 550 Spyder; and where next for the behemoth Luft brand. Spoiler alert: there are hints of a bigger event not limited to aircooled cars, and maybe a return to the UK at some point in the future…

You can find Patrick @plmotorsport and www.patricklong.com and the Luftgekühlt brand @luftgekuhlt and www.luftgekuhlt.com

This week on 9WERKS Radio we bring you a bumper episode to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Group C racing. Norbert Singer - father of the Porsche 956 - and 1986 C2 World Champion, Mike Wilds, join Lee, Andy, and Max to share their experiences from the frontline with these legendary racing cars. We ask if Group C really does represent one of the great eras of motorsport, and wonder what a 962 would be like as a track day tool.

Andy, Lee and Max get together for the 100th instalment of the podcast to discuss their favourite episodes and what they’ve learned since first sitting in front of the mics. Fresh from a tour through Europe with two air-cooled Turbos, Lee’s been given a 964 Cabriolet long-term loaner and discusses the pros and cons to multi-Porsche ownership, plus Andy explains why he’s been humbled by a notable Porsche collector on an alternative podcast. Lee and Andy also report back from the recent Cotswolds Rally organised by Porsche Club GB R31, which features a chat with rally organiser, Nick Taylor.
