The Drivers

There are thousands of race car drivers around the world. But there are far fewer who can be called Porsche Legends. More than 50 legendary Porsche drivers who took this fabled marque to victories at the world’s most demanding race tracks were in attendance to celebrate Porsche racing history.

“The entire event was just fantastic. Amazing execution by Porsche and Laguna Seca and everybody in attendance was happy and engaged…It was magic!! I loved our autograph sessions and engaging with the fans and the evening events were really well done. It was a honor and privilege to be seated at the table of the Legends Dinner with US Porsche President/CEO Klaus Zellmer and Dr. Porsche himself. We exchanged some great stories and a few spectacular glasses of Adobe Road wine.

Seeing all of Porsche’s history and heritage, all together under one roof really makes you understand the power and success of this brand. We are honored to have a small part in it.” – Kevin Buckler – TRG CEO
