Shum’s Classic Le Mans Race Livery

By Doug Seefus, Carolinas Region PCA

Only just eclipsed by the marque’s first-ever victory at Le Mans, a sensation of the 1970 24-hour race was Martini Racing’s psychedelic long-tail Porsche 917. So popular was the purple/green/white car that other race organizers said: “Please bring us the hippie car…”

This is what came to my mind after speaking to Carolinas Region PCA member and pioneer in sim racing, Jonathan Shum. I spoke to Jonathan about his experience in PCA

The Tip Jar – Special Ops!

Some sensible advice from Major Chris Walsh!

by Dean Chapman, Northern New Jersey Region PCA

What do you ensure you always do before a race?

Chris Walsh, “Always know your fuel strategy, if you plan to stop, triple check calculations and know the max you need and the min you need. Run a full race stint, understand tire wear and if you will need to take them in the race. Practice in the hardest conditions and know how to find that extra pace for qualifying. Don’t drink to much water either.”

What do you ensure you always do
