Day one of the Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV at Laguna Seca

The world's greatest gathering of Porsche race cars took to Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca on Friday, Oct. 14 for practice as Rennsport IV got under way. The Rennsport Reunion is an every-three-year event that brings vintage Porsche race cars and drivers together to compete in various classes. Friday was a day of practice while qualifying and racing begins on Saturday.

Along with the race cars and race drivers--more than 50 Porsche pilots are on hand--there is a variety of static displays and autograph sessions with the drivers, and a concours of vintage cars is planned.

Also, the new 911 will make its North American debut here following its unveiling to the public at the Frankfurt motor show.
