That’s quite some collection you’ve got there

If only. This is a selection (yes, there were lots more) of Porsche race cars from the Rennsport Reunion held recently at Daytona Beach, Florida. The event runs every three years, organised by Brian Redman (of Can-Am and F1 fame) and his son James with a helping hand from Stuttgart.

The 917-based racers hog the foreground of this shot with Richard Attwood and Hans Hermann’s 1970 Le Mans winner at the front left wearing number 23, the 917PA 16-cylinder prototype (count those intake trumpets) sat alongside in plain white, the camera car from Steve McQueen's Le Mans that’s now owned by Jerry Seinfeld (right, wearing Gulf colours) plus the memorably tagged 'Pink Pig' (centre right, the bodywork divided into cuts of meat) and the psychedelic 'Hippie Car' (to the left wearing number 3)
