Stories in Motion. I'm a commercial film director and producer based in Seattle, WA. I founded Rennfilms in 2015 - the same year I purchased my Porsche 356. Through film and still photography I'm forever chasing the determination, emotion, motivation and daring spirit of motorsport and automotive culture.

God bless everyone who has been involved in this iconic car since 1950. Obviously, the most important Porsche ever made. I hope some of this handmade car-building knowledge can stay alive. I went to many of the 1960s West Coast races with my uncle, Dick Anderson, BMC mechanic.
I had the good fortune to see this very car do a start up demonstration at Griots Garage in Tacoma, Washington several years back. We were directly behind the car and got the full blast of the exhaust. WOW!!! Was that loud! To see it running in this video at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington (a fantastic track, BTW), is a real treat!
Thanks @dougheizenrader. Getting to be around that car for those two days was a real thrill. It's so low, compact, and gorgeous - and a shreiking force. As we were filming on track everyone in the Arm car filming was freaking out - seeing that car in the monitors was unreal. Thanks for watching and following along. Cheers -Craig
The way the driver is integrated into the cockpit, the height of the side walls towards the helmet, it actually looks modern like the late 90s. It's amazing how far they moved away from that in the late 80s and early 90s.
I've watched your videos and just like you I have always admired the 928. But to me, being a 90's kid I think the GTS is the pinnacle. Any reason you're not that interested in newer 928's? Is it just this original bodystyle that ticks your boxes? I love the early cars as well but personally I think the GTS perfect the looks. Cheers. This number #1 is really something.
I’m a vintage VW man, but this has got to be one of the greatest motoring story’s I’ve ever seen. What a gorgeous car. And to see such emotion displayed by the builder is truly moving. Well done to all involved, I hope to be able to see it one day.
@@sircharles7323 Yes all the vehicles back then were go carts on steroids. It would be nice if they made the same vehicles with all the high tech and safety features today, excluding the halo bar. So a puncture proof fuel bladder, high strength carbon fibre monocoque chassis, Head and Neck Support System (HANS) etc.
all for the love of the cars... because it can't be for making money, racing whether current F1 or vintage costs too much money to understand how it could be so much fun!
Absolutely love this film, thank you Rennfilms. I've watched it several times.Big fan of Rod Emory and the Porsche brand and can feel the love for Porsche and number 46 in this film. Excellent work.
3:33 how funny that there’s a Panamera going the other way. That’s the descendant of the 928, in my opinion. Great video, great car, what a nice way to enjoy the hobby.
It been a slow burn with my GTS. Like all of them, mine had been neglected over the years but it’s slowly being brought back to life. What a car it must have been in the day compared with cars of the same era. It still shines bright.
