Porsche prepares to enter a new racing era.
The Porsche 911 is one of, if not the most legendary sports cars of all time, and while it is charming, classic, and instantly recognizable, it’s also still an incredible performance machine, even after 60 years of being the staple sports car from Porsche. WIth its impeccable performance engineering, the Porsche 911 serves as the basis for the Porsche 911 GT3 R racing machine, which is on the verge of entering a new generation.
During the 2025 racing season, the Porsche 911 GT3 R is continuing to build its revered legacy as a racing hero with the victories it is earning, like a recent one in the GTD class at the Long Beach Grand Prix this past weekend. However, its successor is already gearing up to make a debut, opening a new chapter in Porsche’s celebrated racing legacy.
The development of the new Porsche 911 GT3 R customer racing car is about to reach an important milestone, with an endurance test set to take place at one of the world’s most iconic race tracks: the Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. Held in collaboration with Herberth Motorsport, the test car will be driven by Laurin Heinrich, Ralf Bohn, and Alfred Renauer. The test car will, in fact, sport the number 91 and take part in a competitive race as part of the Creventic 24h Series.
The improvements seen in the upcoming 911 GT3 R focus on driveability, including tweaks in the aerodynamics to reduce pitch sensitivity, and software updates to improve the steering behavior. Not only will the upcoming test show how the upcoming new Porsche 911 GT3 R behaves on the race track, but it will also show how the new race car will handle fierce competition on one of the world’s most iconic tracks on the globe.
