With such a legacy, I wonder why more effort is not put into the Porsche marque presence at Daytona? I didn't see any Porsche flags or manufacturer-provided cars or displays in the car corral area. The PCA had their tent & provided parking for Porsche cars in the corral, but didn't appear to have much/any manufacturer support, vendor support, etc. Seems like Daytona, as the only 24 hour sports car race in America, would be a crown jewel of the sportscar season & treated as the grand kick-off to the season that it is. This video focusing on the historic legacy between Porsche and Daytona really hit that point home for me.

With all the turmoil at Porsche lately; new ownership, new Ceo, talk of different directions, I'm not surprised at the lack of corporate involvement this year at Daytona. Would have been a good place to announce business as usual though.

My pleasure VroomGrrl!
There was a Panamera on display as you walked from the garage area toward the winner's circle. It would be nice to have a larger Porsche presence, but, as mentioned, this year is especially tumultuous. Perhaps next year. I'll call Piech and mention it to him -Michael
