The iconic, timeless form, especially the 911, is immediately recognizable and combines elegance with sportiness: Porsche stands for outstanding automotive engineering, precise driving and powerful engines that impress both on the racetrack and on the street.
The photographer Rainer W. Schlegelmilch, known for his great Formula 1 photo boards, not only captured the brand’s magic from 1963 to 1988, he also portrayed the drivers and mechanics, without which a racing car would be just a bunch of metal with a motor.
The bag band “Porsche Racing Moments” (hardcover, 36 x 30.3 cm, 4.04 kg, 356 pages, 100 euros) is a personal photographic journey through the history of the Porsche long-distance races from Le Mans to Monza. His pictures are enriched by stories about the famous locations – a tribute to the holy places in motorsport.
Of course, the focus is on the racing cars. Schlegelmilch circles with its camera in the 60s specially made prototypes-from the models 550, 718 to timeless 911. With hypnotic zooms, the photographer inserts breathtaking speed of the Porsche wagons.
