Show Notes

PCA National Historian and author Jay Gillotti is in the studio to talk all things Porsche 936. We dive into Jay’s upcoming book on this legendary racecar, exploring how its three Le Mans victories cemented Porsche’s legacy and how the "new" turbocharged 911 of the era helped shape its development. Jay also shares the incredible story of the 936 being pulled out of museum retirement for one final, triumphant run in 1981. If you’ve never heard the story, you’ve got to listen to the podcast. Plus, we discuss his new role as club historian and get the scoop on the new GT3 Cabriolet. It’s a jam-packed episode you won't want to miss!
