As RPM 2026 brings the Porsche community together at Richmond Raceway, we also recognize a major milestone in Porsche history: 75 years of Porsche Motorsport. Porsche’s motorsport story began in 1951, when the Porsche 356 SL earned a class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Since then, Porsche has built one of the most successful motorsport legacies in sports car racing, endurance competition, rallying, one-make racing, and modern prototype racing. This heritage connects directly to the spirit of the Richmond Porsche Meet: celebrating the cars, the people, the engineering, and the motorsport passion that continue to define the Porsche community.
