It’s that time of the year!

In 7 days we’ll have the 24 Heures du Mans 2026!!! I think this might reserve some surprises: a brand new manufacturer in Hypercar (18 cars in the class), 19 LMP2 cars (seems like ACO will not kill the class, unlike WEC) and 25 LMGT3 (with just two Porsches 😲). Nonetheless, in Hypercar I don’t expect much from newcomer Genesis, so I guess it will once again be a battle of attrition between Ferrari and Toyota. Cool to have Astons in the fight, the same for BMW, but I doubt they’ll be true contenders. Well, unless shit happens, and shit happens a LOT at Le Mans. And just two porkers in a 62-car grid?!? I don’t think there were ever so few Porsches at La Sarthe since the early 50s… Troubling for sure 🤨.

Who’s gonna watch it? In my house the family has been officially notified that the TV is mine from early Saturday to Sunday at lunch and I don’t give a flying crap about soccer 😁.

Time to remember

On April 14th, 2021, a great friend of mine passed away. I’m very grateful for being able to call him friend for almost 20 years. Yet, 5 years ago he left us. Just like me, he was an avid collector and had a huge passion for Porsche. No doubt at all, at least some part of my collection was directly influenced by him.

For instance, the 1974 911 Carrera RSR Turbo #22. Not only did he introduce me to this car, but this model was a gift from him. To this day that RSR is one my most cherished models, because it was a gift from my dear friend.

Time passed but I still miss you, Gary 😢.
