ALMS media footage of Wayne Baker's 1983 12Hours of Sebring win

"Sebring Through the Decades: The 1980s

Porsche’s dominance continues into the GTP era

The 1980s saw steady growth and continued domination by Porsche at the Sebring 12 Hours. The race’s most successful manufacturer added nine more overall victories – four for the 935, one in 1983’s upset for the 934 and four for the 962. The end of the decade though brought a new power to Sebring in the form of Nissan as GTP cars came to the forefront into the ’90s."

"Flash from the past" all these photos were taken of Wayne Baker at various race tracks during the 1980s and 1990s. We just love these photographs because they truly represent what vintage Porsche racing is all about: the passion and respect of the automobile and the comradeship between race car drivers, the teams and fans.
