Porsche sports cars were in action around the world on all race tracks in 2005. The spectrum ranged from the 700 hp twin-turbo 911 to the standard Zuffenhausen product. Several championships went to the legendary sports cars, the drivers and the teams that fielded them. On 208 pages with more than 650 colour photos, Porsche Sport 2005 describes the history and the stories surrounding the sensational GT victories at the 24-hour race in Daytona, Florida; accompanies the Porsche teams to Sebring, to Le Mans, to the "Green Hell" of the Nürburgring and to the circuit of Spa Francorchamps. The Porsche RS Spyder successfully passed its baptism of fire at the final round of the American Le Mans Series in Laguna Seca, California, and immediately scored an LMP2 class victory on its racing debut. The Porsche Carrera Cups, which have meanwhile become a success from South Korea to England, from France to Australia and Japan as hard-fought racing series, are also described in words and pictures. A pleasure for every Porsche enthusiast, which becomes a unique reference work thanks to its statistics section.
