The Porsche Rennsport Reunion is an automotive event and the world's largest meeting of classic Porsche racing cars and their drivers. Porsche has been organizing the Rennsport Reunion since 2001 to honor its own motorsport tradition. The event was conceived by British former racing driver Brian Redman and former Porsche Cars North America’s press spokesperson Bob Carlson.[1]
