An Overview of 75 Years of Racing Triumphs for Porsche

Porsche and racing have had a strong link for 75 years. The German automaker has been a dominant force on the track, racking up victories and pushing the boundaries of automotive technology. Several iconic moments and drivers define Porsche's rich racing history.

Porsche's early strides in car racing began in the late 1940s. The legend began in 1948 with the birth of the Porsche 356. The car established the Porsche brand and laid the foundation for future racing success. Three years later, Porsche secured its first major win with a class victory at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. The victory showcased the car's endurance and performance.

Then, the 1950s saw Porsche continue its ascent in motorsports. Drivers like Gilberte Thirion carved their names in racing history. Victories at legendary races like the Carrera Panamericana and Targa Florio cemented Porsche's reputation as a builder of competitive sports cars.

Next, the 1960s marked a golden age for Porsche racing. The arrival of the iconic 911 brought a street legend and a dominant force on the track. Porsche's first Formula One win in 1962 with the 804 further solidified its engineering prowess. Le Mans remained a particular focus, with Hans Herrmann's near-miss in 1969 followed by a dream come true in 1970 - Porsche's first overall victory at the grueling 24-hour race.

Over the following forty years, Porsche continued its constant innovation and success. In the 1980s, the 956, featuring a revolutionary monocoque chassis, dominated Le Mans for an unprecedented six years straight. The partnership with McLaren to develop the TAG Turbo engine further demonstrated Porsche's ability to push boundaries. Victories in unexpected arenas like the Paris-Dakar Rally with the 953 and 959 showcased the versatility of Porsche engineering.

The 1990s saw the birth of the Porsche Carrera Cup, a one-make series that continues to nurture aspiring drivers today. Le Mans victories continued with the 911 GT1 in 1998, a testament to the enduring legacy of the 911 platform.

In the new millennium, the car manufacturer saw new challenges and triumphs. The American Le Mans Series saw the rise of the RS Spyder prototype, piloted by drivers like Timo Bernhard. In 2017, another incredible feat at Le Mans took place. After falling behind early, the 919 Hybrid staged a remarkable comeback to secure a third consecutive victory. Porsche's racing journey has gone beyond endurance racing. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team's historic one-two finish in Mexico City in 2022 marked a significant achievement in electric racing.

Porsche's racing legacy extends beyond the sheer number of trophies. With its ever-evolving regulations, Le Mans has been a testing ground for groundbreaking technologies. From lightweight materials to turbocharging and advanced aerodynamics, Porsche has consistently used the field of motorsport to develop innovations that trickle down to its production cars. Efficiency has also been a cornerstone of Porsche's racing philosophy.

From early victories in fuel consumption categories to the recent success of the 911 GT3, Porsche has proven that speed and efficiency can coexist, winning awards for fuel consumption in their race cars.

Salut , je suis nouveau ici

El hadj Mamadou Malick Dienna, called Papoune M Hakim ( papoune Beatz ), was born March 18th 1999, and grew up in Dakar, Senegal. Papoune M Hakim is a young beatmaker, sound engineer and artist.

In 2017, El hadj decided to leave his job as a baker after having to stop his studies to help his family financially. That choice pushes him to explore the world of beatmaking which quickly becomes a passion for him. He practices a lot just to make his first beat in the hopes of impressing his mentor.

Papouné realizes that he has a gift with sounds and creating different melodies. With the help of his father, who is also an artist, and his rapper friends, he puts together a recording studio where he perfects his kraft, records his friends, and makes it a business by starting to make money. This experience makes him gain a lot of knowledge in the engineering field.

The story behind the becoming of the artist Papoune originated from being around his dad at the young age of 10 years old. This passion he shares with his father, sparks his interest into music, so he starts writing complete songs at the age of 13. His background explains an obvious career as a solo artist today.

Today, Papoune got to work with many local artists from Senegal such as his father Alaye, Amiral Lyon, Zbest Prodution, Bambali Seck, Defa, Bass thioung, Samba peuzzi and many others. He continues to learn to achieve a high level of quality in his work, and be known internationally for his talent, creativity, hard work and professionalism.

Hiii :D

📅 - Favorite time of year?

📺 - Top 5 TV shows

✏ - Random fact about yourself

🚘 - Dream car(s)?

For the ask game please <3

Hello again :DDD

📅 - That transition period between spring and summer in May/June, when it's warm but not take-off-your-skin hot yet, and prime pollen season is mostly over already.

📺 -

Gravity Falls

The Owl House

Firefly

Amphibia

Motorcity

✏ - like nerf guns, i have accumulated quite the stockpile of hot wheels over time. unlike nerf guns, collecting hot wheels is very much an ongoing hobby on my part.

🚘 - ohohohohohoohoho there are so many (in various stages of realism)...... but a ranked top 5(ish) shall be enough for this question.

Volvo 850 R (station wagon, manual transmission, ideally dark green, ideally black interior) - the car I usually mention when asked this. an "ultimate dream car" if you will.

2005/06 Ford GT (white with dark blue stripes, BBS wheels, painted brake calipers, no optional stereo) - the "dream supercar"

Volkswagen Golf Alltrack by Innovative Motorsports / Kia Stinger GT / Volvo V60 Polestar - the "dream daily driver." To elaborate on the first mentioned, there is a speed shop in the USA that specializes in yanking the engine and drivetrain from a 2017+ Audi RS3 and slamming them into a Mk7 VW Golf. And, reportedly, they do the unassuming Alltrack wagons too - which is insanely cool if you ask me. The other two are, let's say, more realistic alternatives.

Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato - it's just cool, man (gender neutral). Offroad Lambo. Factory offroad Lambo supercar. Sure, the Porsche 911 Dakar might be a better car but this one is cooler.

Koenigsegg Gemera - the "poster car." Actually owning it is reserved for the wildest of dreams, but it is what I'd call the greatest car ever. And that was even before Koenigsegg engineers looked at the Gemera, looked at the 5-liter engine of their other hypercar, and went "we could fit that."

✨ Thank you for the ask and the infodumping opprtunity ✨

Esztétikai frissítést kap a 2025-ös Africa Twin

A Honda zászlóshajójának számító CRF1100L Africa Twin jövőre frissített grafikával, valamint új színekben is elérhetővé válik, ami még vonzóbbá teszi az oly rég óta népszerű kalandmotort. - Új színkombinációban érkezik a 2025-ös modellévű Africa Twin Adventure Sports - Jövőre frissített grafikával róhatja már az utakat a modell-család A 2025-ös frissítés technikailag nem érinti a CRF1100L Africa Twin párosát, hiszen a modell megtartja alapvető terepes képességeit, miközben megjelenésében és vezetési élményben egy karcsú, kompakt raligépre emlékeztet. Az 1084 cm3-es, soros kéthengeres motor legnagyobb forgató nyomatéka 112 Nm, csúcsteljesítménye 102 LE (75 kW), így mind közúton, mind terepen felemelő teljesítményt nyújt. A CRF1100L Africa Twin továbbra is két változatban érhető el: az egyik hagyományos Showa felfüggesztéssel, a másik pedig szabályozású Showa EERA™ (Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) futóművel felszerelt, amely menet közben is állítható, így mindig az aktuális útviszonyokhoz igazodhat a csillapítás feszessége és a rugó-előfeszítés. A 2025-ös CRF1100L Africa Twin esetén háromféle fényezés közül választhatnak a vásárlók, melyeket egytől egyig merész grafika díszít. - Grand Prix Red - Matt Ballistic Black Metallic - Pearl Glare White **ÚJ** Pearl Hawkseye Blue Metallic Tricolour fényezéssel, amely kizárólag a CRF1100L Africa Twin ES kivitelnél érhető el. A CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports változat 24,8 literes üzemanyagtartályának köszönhetően nagyobb túrának vághatunk neki, mint testvérével, és a tavaly bevezetett 19”-os első kerekek esetében sem történt változás, hiszen a visszajelzések alapján ezáltal még jobb lett a motor kezelhetősége országúton. A 2025-ös CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports-ot az alábbi, kétféle színösszeállításban rendelhetik meg a vásárlók, melyeket nagy és merész logó tesz még látványosabbá. A trikolór fényezés nem mellesleg az ikonikus XRV750 színei előtt tiszteleg. - **ÚJ** Matt Iridium Gray Metallic - Pearl Glare White (gyöngyházfehér, trikolór) Tudtad? - 2016-os újbóli bevezetése óta több mint 104 000 db Africa Twint adtak el Európa-szerte. - Visszatérése óta mindig ott volt a Honda három legkelendőbb motorkerékpárja között, de 2016-2023 közötti nyolcból 6 évben az elsőséget tudhatta magáénak. - Az Africa Twin 2017-ben megdöntötte a kéthengeres motorkerékpár által elért legnagyobb magassági rekordot (5965 m tengerszint feletti magasság) az Argentína és Chile között található Nevado Ojos del Salado vulkánon járt. - 2023-ban az Africa Twin Adventure Sports vásárlóinak 63%-a DCT változatot választotta. - Az Africa Twin volt a főszereplője négy rendkívül sikeres, „egyszer az életben ki kell próbálnom” Honda Adventure Roads expedíciónak, ahol amatőr motoros próbálhatták ki mind a CRF1100, mind a saját állóképességét több ezer kilométeren keresztül, Dél-Afrikában, Norvégiában, Izlandon és Marokkóban. - Az Africa Twin névtábla 1988-ban debütált a Honda XRV650 Africa Twinen, egy olyan országúti motorkerékpáron, amely közvetlen hatást gyakorolt az NXR750-re; a Dakar-rali négyszeres, egymást követő győztesére (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989). - Franciaországban, Olaszországban és az Egyesült Királyságban külön erre a célra kialakított off-road kalandközpontok találhatók, amelyek ideális helyszínt biztosítanak a vásárlók számára, hogy az Africa Twint természetes környezetében próbálhassák ki.

"Price llevando años de experiencia en off-road al Dakar en 2024" - ¿Has escuchado lo último sobre el rally Dakar? Toby Price, el doble campeón del Dakar, está llevando su vasta experiencia en carreras todoterreno al escenario más grande del mundo... ¡y sí, estoy hablando de Dakar 2024! Quizás recuerdas a Price de sus días en el motocross. Después de ganar varios títulos australianos y competir en el campeonato de supercross de Estados Unidos, Price hizo de las carreras todoterreno su nuevo hogar. Y bueno, ¡veamos los hechos! Sus logros son asombrosos, incluyendo sus triunfos en la Finke Desert Race cinco veces, un récord para el evento. Pero eso no es todo, su debut en el Dakar en 2015 lo vio terminar tercero... ¡impresionante! A lo largo de su carrera, Price ha demostrado su habilidad para sobresalir en carreras de resistencia de larga distancia. Este talento definitivamente será puesto a prueba en Dakar 2024, la prueba del todopoderoso de las carreras de off-road. Con 12 etapas repartidas en dos semanas, la competición es agotadora y está llena de sorpresas en cada vuelta. Curiosamente, Price no se va solo a la desafiante expedición. Va como parte de un formidable equipo de cuatro pilotos de KTM. Y sí, no te preocupes, los chicos de KTM probablemente estén tan emocionados como nosotros, ¿por qué lo digo? Bueno... la marca tiene un impresionante récord de 18 victorias seguidas en el Dakar, y una armada de motocicletas desarrolladas especialmente para estas duras competencias. Precio ha demostrado una y otra vez que tiene la destreza, la resistencia y la sabiduría en la carrera para manejarse bien en el Dakar. De hecho, ha vuelto a casa con la victoria no una sino dos veces, ¡en 2016 y 2019! Pero bueno, ya sabes como es...... rara vez olvidamos las derrotas entre tales glorias, quizá la más dramática fue aquella lesión en el accidente de 2017 que lo dejó fuera de la carrera... pero eso no lo detuvo. Regreso al próximo evento y, volvió con las manos llenas de victoria. Lo que más me intriga es ver cómo Price utilizará su abundante experiencia en off-road para enfrentar la rabia del Dakar. Puedes apostar que estaré atento a informar sobre su progreso y los incansables giros y vueltas de este salvaje paseo en moto. Diría que esta es una de las mejores noticias que podríamos haber recibido para comenzar el año. ¡Espero que estén tan emocionados como yo por el Dakar 2024! #Dakar2024 ¿Estás listo para la aventura? ¡Porque esto va a ponerse salvaje!
