Porsche RS Spyder
American Le Mans Series.
One place you’ll see Porsche
proving its engineering the ories
on the track is in the American
Le Mans Series
®
(ALMS).
Founded in 1999, ALMS is an
endurance racing series that has
establ ished itself as a vital forum
for developing new technologies
and transfer ring them to the
street. It h as established itself
as the most imp orta nt race
series fo r GT sports cars and
prot otypes in North America.
Porsche customer teams have
more than 100 class wins in
the ALMS. And for nine of the
11 years of ALM S’ existence,
Porsche has earned the
GT/GT2 manufacturers title
in the ALMS—all with the
Porsche 911 GT3 R/RS/
RSR family of race cars.
Since the 2006 season, Porsche
has also been lining up on the
starting grid with a prototype in
the LMP2 (Le Mans Prototype 2)
class: the RS Spyder. In winning
the LMP2 manufacturers’, drivers’
and team championships in 2006,
Porsche made an impressive
return to prototype racing.
Since 2008, more customer
teams have taken their place
on the starting grid in the
RS Spyder, not only in the
ALMS, but also in the European
Le Mans Series (LMS) and the
legendary Le Mans 24 Hour
race. In 2010, RS Spyder
continues to write Porsche’s
story of success in motorsport.
With such a commitment to the
proving gr ounds of motorsports,
i t’s not far from the finish line to
the Porsche assembly line. The
race-ready versi ons of the 911
like the GT3 RS are made within
the same ass embly facilities
as al l other 911 models.
