Porsche Motorsport legend Alwin Springer reflects on his decades-long career in racing in this 2025 interview with 9WERKS

Alwin Springer is a true living legend in Porsche circles. Springer has been called “The O.G.” and “Mr Motorsport” by Porsche executives and historians thanks to a 60-year career of high success with both road and racing Porsches all over the US. Alwin’s incredible, decades-long Porsche story starts in the late 1960s, working on Porsches in Toronto, Canada, before learning the race trade at Vasek Polak in California. From here, Springer helped form the world-famous Andial with two friends, before leading Porsche Motorsport North America and rebuilding it front the ground up.

This is a fascinating episode covering nearly 60 years of Alwin’s life-long success racing Porsche cars, and improving road-going variants.
