Lars lives and breaths motorsport. Many know his extraordinary talents at the Nurburgring and his association with Porsche Motorsport.

After three successful seasons with a Ferrari in the GTD PRO-AM category, including two Petit Le Mans wins, Cooper and his family began to assess options for 2021. Rumours soon circulated that Cooper and Weathertech Racing would step up to the pro dominated GTLM category for 2021.  

Although privateer teams can enter GTLM, the category has essentially been an exclusive arena for manufacturer teams and their superstar drivers. Such are the prohibitive costs involved in running complex GTLM machines.  

Logic may suggest that a privateer team would be wise to remain in the PRO-AM based GTD category. However, the MacNeil family follow their own path. Particularly with their Weathertech brand. Typically, significantly cheaper manufacturing costs force companies to look abroad for production. Not Weathertech. Since launching the auto accessories firm in 1989, David MacNeil has driven home an ethos of design and manufacture in the United States. Weathertech’s Superbowl adverts normally centre around this very message. 

When rumours of Weathertech’s alleged GTLM plan intensified, many believed the alliance with Ferrari would continue. After all, Cooper MacNeil had accumulated significant mileage in various iterations of Ferrari’s 488. 

As the world sleepwalked back to work after the festive break, Weathertech Racing confirmed their GTLM entry for 2021. However, the big shock was the choice of machine. Porsche, not Ferrari, would take this ambitious privateer effort into the GTLM lion’s den. Incredibly, the MacNeil’s impressive GTLM ambitions failed to stimulate interest or support at Maranello. 

Once word reached Weissach that the incredible 911 RSR-19 could continue running in North America, the unparralled Porsche customer racing operation leapt into action. Leading Porsche customer outfit, Proton Competition, were also enlisted to help with operations at the track.

Delighted to find a privateer willing to run the exotic RSR, Porsche deployed their own engineers and a roster of works drivers to assist the Weathertech effort. However, this is very much ‘the Porsche way’. When a privateer team with sufficient credentials steps up, Porsche will meet them halfway. Brumos Racing, Martini International Racing Team, Dyson Racing and many more have all received enthusiastic assistance from Weissach in pursuit of Porsche’s success. In fact, Porsche’s affiliation with customer racing teams has confirmed the Stuttgart brand’s superiority across endurance racing’s triple crown of Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring.

Magnus Walker is a fashion designer, style icon, automobile enthusiast—and owner of one of the world’s most astonishing collections of Porsches, housed in an old factory building in Los Angeles.
