For the first time, the Porsche Rennsport Reunion vintage motorsports gathering will have LeMans start Porsche tractor racing on September 29 and 30 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.


In fact, the traditional Le Mans start, in which the drivers dash across the track to their machines, might be the most entertaining element of the day. Not only will celebrity and professional Porsche drivers have to climb aboard their machine, they’ll need to “figure out how to start it,” according to the Rennsport Reunion press release. Each race will end at Turn 5, but even at that abbreviated distance, officials expect the tractors to take 15 minutes to reach the finish line.

Own a Porsche tractor and want to stretch its legs a bit? Race entries are still be accepted. Email inquiries to ardelle@laguna-seca.com.
