Porsche has made memories that will last for eternity at Le Mans. In the coming months, the Porsche Museum will be dedicating itself to a special topic: “The Porsche success story at Le Mans”. In the first episode, host Timo Bernhard talks to Fritz Enzinger, Vice President Motorsport at Porsche.

The starting point is 1951, the year in which Porsche first took to a class victory with the 356 SL. A further 107 class and 19 overall victories followed on from this triumph with the light alloy coupé. Seventy years later, Porsche is launching Porsche Moments, a new series that devotes six episodes to this famous chapter in Porsche’s motorsport history.

The team pays tribute to the many historically significant moments at Le Mans through this content, internationally and at the headquarters in Zuffenhausen. “In the new Porsche Moments format, we will be highlighting special moments from our past during which we – from today’s point of view – have made corporate, product or racing history. We reconstruct these moments as authentically as possible by means of contemporary witnesses and invite our fans to again experience these special Porsche Moments via our social media channels,” says Achim Stejskal, Head of Porsche Heritage and Museum. Le Mans winner and endurance champion Timo Bernhard takes fans through the episodes in the role of host. He meets up with interesting contemporary witnesses on both four wheels and two legs, and in both Zuffenhausen and Weissach.
