The smell of high-octane fuel, the echoes of flat-sixes down the Mulsanne Straight, and the absolute pinnacle of historic motorsport. Welcome to our Le Mans Classic 2026 Special!

In this very special episode of 9WERKS Radio, we pack our bags and head across the Channel to the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe. We had the immense privilege of embedded access with the team at Paragon Porsche to follow a truly thrilling campaign: Mark Sumpter piloting his iconic, fire-breathing Porsche 993 GT2 Evo to a spectacular class victory. We take you behind the pit wall to experience the tension, the strategy, and the raw emotion of winning at Le Mans.

But the track action didn’t stop there. The 2026 event delivered an absolute sensory overload of motorsport royalty. We get up close and personal with the ultimate legends of endurance racing, tracking the sights and sounds of the homologation-special Porsche and McLaren GT1s, screaming 993 and 964 RSRs, and the legendary water-cooled 996 GT3 RS and Cup cars. Plus, we look back at the thunderous Group C era, the iconic 917s, and the modern-classic monsters of LMP1.

Whether you were there trackside or want to live the weekend vicariously through us, grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and join us for the ultimate celebration of Porsche motorsport heritage.
