We recently captured this Porsche 962 on the start up of a mid-day “revielle” at the 2010 Fairfield Concours d’Elegance. The Revielle is a time for concours participants to start their engines and rev them up for the crowd for a minute or so.

In the video below is the unmistakable sound of the Porsche’s Andial developed flat 6 3.2 liter motor. This particular Havoline liveried 962 won the Sebring 12 Hours twice.

There is not much left to be desired when you’re standing next to that car as it revs up. Overall sounds include stuttered pops, cracks, growls, snarls, burbles and whirring.

One really unique aspect of the 962 that we enjoy seeing is the exhaust coming from the top and center of the car just above the motor. How great is that?

The 14th Annual Greenwich Conours d’Elegance arrived to Greenwich, CT’s Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on the shores of Greenwich Harbour on June 6th and 7th.  The event was packed. Sports Car Advisors arrived very early and parking anywhere near the show proved a challenge, a sign of this concours’ rising popularity and success. (more…)

The American Le Mans Series came to Lime Rock for the July 12, Northeast Grand Prix in Lakeville Connecticut. The race was action packed with drivers jockeying for position from start to finish on a revamped course. Spectator turnout to the Grand Prix was larger than ever filling both the infield and the outfield with colorful umbrellas and American Flags, still the cozy intimacy of Lime Rock’s paddock area was not lost. It was bound to be a special race; Dyson Racing was celebrating 25 years in motorsports by doing a lap in the Dyson Porsche 962 (Driven by Rob Dyson), flanked by the Porsche RS Spyder (Driven by Chris Dyson).

Following are some pictures of the day just prior to checkered flag dropping and some video of the race itself. (more…)
