Porsche's One-Off Flat Nose Exercise Porsche just rolled out a one-off flat nose build based on a 991 GT2 RS, and it's hard not to think Moby Dick when you see it. The obvious difference is this thing is a street build, where the original Moby Dick was strictly a race car, but the vibe is unmistakably the same. Porsche has been on a kick lately of digging through leftover parts bins and putting together these special exercises just to show what they can do. It's a cool flex, but it also raises the question of who these builds are actually for and whether we'll see more of them or if this is a one-and-done showcase. Porsche Strikes Out on Singer and RUF Word is Porsche tried to buy Singer and got turned down, then went after RUF and got the same answer. Honestly, none of us are shocked either brand said no. Both are large, established operations that have built their identity on standing completely apart from Porsche, so an acquisition would undercut the whole reason people love them. The bigger question is why Porsche is making these moves in the first place. Is this Porsche being opportunistic, or is there a little desperation behind two attempts at buying up the independents? The 992.2 Carrera S MT Package: A Manual By Any Other Name Porsche's new 992.2 Carrera S is offering a manual transmission again, but only as an "MT package" starting at 167K. Everyone's been begging for manuals to come back, and now that they have, it's buried inside a package instead of just being a straightforward option. Why can't Porsche just let you spec a base 911 with a manual and call it a day? We get that it's a money grab, but once you lightly option this car you're walking out the door around 185K, which is a wild number for a Carrera S. Put that next to a 991.2 GT3 that stickered at 143K back in 2019, and it's a genuinely hard pill to swallow. CPR Classic's Ponzi Scheme Collapse CPR Classic, a dealer just north of San Diego, was running a Ponzi scheme from 2022 through 2024, and the shop is now shut down with the owner serving a 21-month prison sentence. This one stings because of the history behind it. The original owner built a genuinely respected family business selling 911s for 40 years, then passed it down to his daughter after he passed away. Almost immediately the wheels came off. She stopped paying consignors for cars she'd sold, bounced checks, and ran a shell game where money from one sale would go to pay off a completely different consignor, over and over. Part of her sentence requires paying back over 9 million dollars. It's a brutal example of how fast four decades of trust can get wiped out. Outro That's it for this episode.

ON TODAY'S PROGRAM... WILL GEORGE BE PSYCHOLOGICALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON? IS LEWIS AND FERNANDO ADDICTED TO FORMULA 1? FERNANDO ALONSO IS NOW 45 YEARS OLD LITERALLY THE MARK MARTIN OF F1 AND... THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED MOMENT ON MOTORSPORTS HISTORY WE HAVE AND INTERVIEW WITH ...SHANE SENEVIRATNE FOUNDER OF  US RACETRONICS AND TEAM MANAGER... Created in 2005, US RaceTronics (USRT) first entered the 2005 Atlantic championship season and instantly achieved success. That season saw US RaceTronics capture 1 pole, 5 podium finishes, and finish 5th in the Championship standings. The "little team that could” proved that hard work and sacrifice still paid off. With the initial momentum of the prior season 2006 through 2009 saw US RaceTronics continue its success in the Atlantic series. The strength team drivers Simona De Silvestro and Frankie Muniz, the team was able to consistently finish on the podium with a total of 21 podiums, 7 poles, 5 race wins and finish 3rd in the 2009 Championship standings. Seneviratne, who holds deep roots in the Atlantic Championship, the GTD program has been largely centered around Silver-rated driver Goikhberg, who also moves over from GTWC America competition. “We've been doing Super Trofeo and veered off into the AMG with SRO but my heart's always been with Lamborghini,” Seneviratne told Sportscar365. “I like the guys, I like the brand. We had the opportunity to get in here and we started talking to Misha. “It all started with Misha and Bob Perona. He has been Misha's driver coach for a long time and Bob and I all worked with Simona de Silvestro in the Indycar days. “Bob felt like the most comfortable thing for Misha to do was to be in that same kind of support and environment that Simona had when she ran and she was successful with us. “She came from Newman Wachs with Jonathan Summerton. We built that culture and gave her the support [needed]. “We're trying to create that same atmosphere for Misha. “The majority of the budget comes from there. With Arrow, we had a small partnership last year with the Super Trofeo and they were excited to step up a little bit more and see what they could do with a GTD program.” While having run under the USRT/O'Gara Motorsport/Change Racing banner in Super Trofeo last year, the team will eventually be fully known as Forte Racing, a new marketing company that Seneviratne is a part owner in. “I've had a long-term relationship with Lamborghini of Beverly Hills, Tom O'Gara's dealership,” Seneviratne explained. “Then Edoardo Piscopo and Julia, Edoardo's wife, they also wanted to get involved, [as well as] Eddie [Littlefield] from Change Racing. “It was [USRT]/O'Gara/Change [last year], so we're now trying to get rid of all those names and start with a single brand, which is Forte Racing.” Seneviratne heads into his first 24-hour race as a team owner although he operated O'Gara Motorsport's short-lived Lamborghini GTD program in 2016, which led to the relaunch of USRT later that year. Seven years later, debuting Lamborghini's second GT3 evolution, Seneviratne is looking forward to the renewed challenge. “More than pride, I'm glad to represent Lamborghini and to have this opportunity,” he said. “It's not an opportunity that you get very often.We have to work together as a cohesive group. “But I can't emphasize enough how supportive Lamborghini has been. It's the same way I like to run the team. “I feel like Lamborghini had now just become an extension of that. We don't throw each other under the bus. We are there for support and there's no egos involved. “There's five ways to do something so I'm always listening and they're listening to us. “Right now they have way more [endurance racing] experience, all of the Lamborghini technicians, and we're absorbing it in. “We're grateful that we have really good support from Lamborghini.” With the demise of the Atlantic Series US RaceTronics' owner Shane Seneviratne took his talents to the IndyCar Series where he was paired once again with De Silvestro as the Team Manager for the HVM Racing. His talents were once again utilized with De Silvestro in 2013 by the KV Racing Technology team where he was brought on as a Consultant. In 2015 Seneviratne was hired by O'Gara Motorsports as their Race Team Director for their newly created Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America Series entries. The team won the season opener at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway with Pro driver Richard Antinucci. The team's consistent performances throughout the 2015 season led to O'Gara Motorsport winning the Team Championship, Dealership Championship, Pro Championship with driver Richard Antinucci, and Amateur Championship with Ryan Ockey. Amateur driver Ryan Ockey also won the 2015 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo World Championship. The team continued its success in 2019 with Damon Ockey and Jacob Eidson winning the North American Pro-Am Championship, while the team's second team of Pro-Am drivers, Ron Atapattu and Patrick Liddy finished third in the Championship. The team also fielded 16-year-old rookie Amateur driver Steven Aghakhani who would finish second in the North American Championship, after missing the first race due to age restrictions, but captured the Amateur World Championship becoming the youngest World Champion in Lamborghini Super Trofeo's history. 2020 was a challenging year for the world and for USRT. Last minute changes in scheduling and driver lineup were necessitated due to restrictions stemming from the COVID pandemic. The Lamborghini Super Trofeo season was shortened to 10 races from the normal 12 and the cancellation of the World Finals left USRT just short on championships. Steven Aghakhani and Jacob Eidson finished runners up in the Pro Championship, while Leo Lamalas finished runner up in the Am Championship. John Hennessy missed the final two races of the season, finishing fourth in the LB Cup Championship his rookie season. US RaceTronics' 2021 saw several peaks and valleys. The Pro duo of Steven Aghakhani and Jacob Eidson had one win and 8 additional podium finishes, but also suffered issues in a couple of races that left them just short of the North American Championship, finishing third. Meanwhile, John Hennessy won the season opener in the LB Cup Championship, but suffered an injury in a crash in Race 2, ending his hopes for a North American title. After missing the four subsequent races, Hennessy came back strong, winning five out of the remaining six races and sweeping the World Finals with four straight wins at the Misano, Italy track to become the LB Cup World Champion. 2022 will see US RaceTronics back in action in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North American Series for their seventh consecutive year.

The Turbo GT3 Rumor: The End of Naturally Aspirated Porsche Okay, this is the one everyone's going to have an opinion on. Word on the street is that the next GT3 and the 911 R will be turbocharged, and the GT2 RS is set to get hybrid assisted turbo power. If that pans out, it makes it official: Porsche will no longer build a naturally aspirated engine, full stop. That's a massive deal and there's a lot to unpack. What does this do to every N/A car that came before it? What happens to the GT cars specifically, which have always been the naturally aspirated holdouts even after the regular 911 line went turbo? Quick refresher for anyone not paying close attention, Porsche killed the N/A engine in the standard, non-GT 911 back in the 2017 model year, when the 991.2 generation switched to the 3.0 turbo. GT cars have been the last line of defense since then. So now the question is how the market and the fanbase receive a turbocharged GT3. Good? Bad? We've already watched this play out once, there's been a clear camp for almost ten years now chasing the last true N/A 911s, the 991.1 generation specifically, and that divide has only gotten more pronounced as time goes on. If the GT3 goes turbo too, does that camp just get bigger, or does the car end up winning people over anyway? Let's dive in. Rally Season: Get Your Cars Ready PSA time. Doors to rally season are closing fast, officially. If your car isn't ready, now's the time. Oil changes, tires, coolant if you're due, brakes, all of it. Give your independent shop a real runway to get your car sorted instead of showing up last minute. We're only about six weeks out from some of the first rallies of the season, so don't sleep on this. Luft Tickets Are Live Luft tickets went on sale, so hopefully everyone who wanted in got their tickets locked down. Not sure if it's sold out at this point, haven't checked back in, but if you're looking to display a car they're still taking applications right now. Worth getting on that if you want to be part of the show and not just in the crowd. The Ducktail GT3: Hillclimb Homage or Something Else? There's a GT3 running around the Nürburgring wearing a ducktail, and rumor has it this is yet another GT3 variant, this one supposedly paying homage to Porsche's 1960s hillclimb cars. Before the turbo GT3 drops, are we thinking Porsche rolls out a wave of special models to send off the N/A era? Feels likely. Here's the disagreement though: I don't buy the hillclimb homage story. I think people are reading this wrong. My take is this is the homage to the '73 RS with the ducktail that Porsche has talked about building for years, this is finally that car. Curious what you all think, hillclimb tribute or the RS ducktail we've been waiting on? Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew: Steve, Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean, and Nik

60 years ago, Porsche fundamentally changed the sports car benchmark by affixing a single, iconic letter to the back of the 911: "S".To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Porsche 911S (1966–2026), Lee and Andy embark on a comprehensive deep-dive into the history, engineering, and cultural impact of Porsche's quintessential performance model. From its humble origins as a 160hp high-revving 2.0-litre screamer to today's twin-turbocharged 992 Carrera S, we trace the complete timeline of the badge that defined everyday supercar usability.Has the significance of the "S" badge diminished in an era dominated by GT3s, Turbos, and GTS models, or does the Carrera S remain the absolute sweet spot of the 911 lineup? Special Guest Expert Panel:The Air-Cooled Era: Adrian Crawford from Williams Crawford Passion for Porsche joins us to break down the golden age of air-cooled 911S models—from the original F-Model 2.0S, 2.2S, and 2.4S through to the iconic Carrera 2.7S and 2.8 RSR heritage.The Water-Cooled Era: Jason from Porsche Centre Bournemouth steps in to guide us through the modern generation transition—evaluating the 996.2 Carrera S, 997.1/997.2, 991, and current 992 Carrera S to explain how Porsche dealership customers view the "S" badge today.QUICK FAQ: 60 YEARS OF THE PORSCHE 911S Q: When was the first Porsche 911S introduced? A: The Porsche 911S was first introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year as the first high-performance derivative of the original 911, producing 160 hp from its 2.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine.Q: What does the "S" stand for in Porsche 911S? A: The "S" in Porsche 911S stands for "Sport." It designated upgraded engine performance, enhanced chassis components, vented disc brakes, and iconic Fuchs alloy wheels.Q: What is the difference between a Porsche Carrera and Carrera S? A: Historically and in modern water-cooled generations (997, 991, 992), the Carrera S offers larger engine displacement/higher horsepower, upgraded brakes, wider track/wheels, standard PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), and sportier chassis tuning compared to the base Carrera. LINKS & RESOURCESExplore the Marketplace:9WERKS Marketplace: Check out verified Porsche 911 listings available right now: https://9werks.co.uk/porschemarketplace/Support Our Partners & Sponsors:Shorade UK (Official Partner): Premier body repair partner and official Porsche Recommended Repairer: https://www.shorade.co.uk/Heritage Parts Centre: Keeping your modern classic or air-cooled Porsche mechanically flawless.

One of us chooses a car currently listed on the marketplace and pitches it to the other two, who are acting as strict, risk-averse bank managers. To win the funding, the pitch has to be flawless. Is the car a guaranteed future classic, or is it a financial money pit?

Kohal olid ka sportmudelid ning nende seas 911 GT3 Touring.Tarmo käis aga sõitmas värskelt esitletud 911 GT3 kabrioletiga ning seega on neid nüüd hea võrrelda.Lisaks on Karli Lamborghinide kogemus juba nii suur, et ta on need saanud lausa pingeritta panna. Milline on siis parim, kas moodne Revuelto või hoopis Countach?Saatejuht on Tarmo Tähepõld Autogeeniuse portaalist.

Tom Hawley joins James Smith to expose the deliberate machinery behind a cost-of-living crisis most people don't even know is happening to them. The co-founder of Azura Financial, one of Australia's top 10 brokerages and a three-time Residential Broker of the Year, Hawley argues that inflation isn't a natural force but a policy choice, a quiet tax on your purchasing power that hits lower and middle-income earners hardest precisely because they can't see it.

Drive Thru News Episode #69 marks Break/Fix's six-year anniversary and recaps June's automotive news, led by a 24 Hours of Le Mans discussion: Toyota's comeback win, a generally "meh" race, more LMP2 coverage, Corvette's GT3 win, and a surprising Lexus run amid BOP and marketing criticisms, plus a Simeone Museum viewing-party report with lower attendance due to the race not falling on Father's Day. The hosts then explain why their Lemons effort never reached the starting line after their Ford Focus entered limp mode, leading to extensive troubleshooting, ECU replacement/programming issues, and plans to replace the engine wiring harness and relocate the ECU. Other topics include rumored Audi TT revival on a Boxster platform, possible US return of the base Golf via Mexico, unusual Audi tech, VW sales via Costco, harsh reactions to Ferrari's new Luce EV design, Chrysler-Fiat rebadges, Chinese-ownership restrictions affecting Polestar/Volvo, defense-industry tie-ins, Subaru manual rumors, the Slate truck, Toyota's EV "stall" patent, California tire regulation, book and event plugs, and quirky crime stories. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Dad Jams and Car Culture 00:02:28 Le Mans 2026 00:07:23 Simeone Viewing Party 00:09:25 Ferrari Frustrations 00:12:52 GT3 Surprise Lexus Run & BOP Politics Explained 00:17:29 Lemons Plans #EpicFail 00:29:59 Volkswagen Audi Rumor Mill - Is the TT Coming Back? 00:34:46 Golf Returns with Tariff Drama 00:36:37 Bonkers Audi Contraption and Projector Turn Signal Debate 00:40:37 Volkswagen Goes Costco 00:42:12 Ferrari Luce EV Design Roast 00:46:45 Chrysler Rebadged Fiats in 2027 00:48:59 Chinese Ownership Car Bans 00:55:04 BMW ///M2 News Spiral 00:56:17 GM Teams With Lockheed 00:58:17 Subaru Manual Rumors 01:03:41 Honda Element Nostalgia 01:06:31 Slate Truck EV Breakdown 01:10:53 Toyota's "EV Stall" Patent 01:14:14 Aftermarket Tire Crackdown 01:19:16 Book Club Pick: Preston Lerner 01:20:22 Concours at Copshaholm Event Plug 01:22:40 Mattel Brick Shop vs Lego 01:25:59 The Florida "Chase Files" 01:39:41 Motorsports Updates 01:42:35 Wrap Up and Sponsors  ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram

We are back with Joe Finkel from FCP Euro! In this episode, we tackle a brilliant factory suspension "cheat code" for water-cooled Porsches, bring you boots-on-the-ground stories from Porsche Parade, and discuss the absolute baller move of street-parking a $2M Porsche 959 in a rainstorm.But first... Derek has to confess his sins. After preaching the gospel of DIY wrenching, a nightmare of rusted exhaust manifold hardware and a crazy schedule forced him to do the unthinkable: he outsourced his Fister exhaust install and DT40 oil change.Once the guilt is cleared, Joe breaks down how Porsche silently updated older lower control arm blueprints to mirror modern 718 geometry—and how you can score this massive handling upgrade on a budget. We also debate the "500-HP cap" for usable street performance and name the #1 diagnostic tool every owner needs in their garage.

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes sit down with Henry and Danny from Lakeside Classics for an unfiltered, deep-dive evaluation of the current Porsche landscape. Henry and Danny bring their front-line dealer expertise to the studio to unpack some incredibly nuanced—and potentially controversial—trends dictating values, buyer behavior, and vehicle availability right now.In this episode, we break down: Why It's a Seller's Market: Despite broader economic headwinds, high-quality Porsches are locked in a definitive seller's market. We explain why serious buyers are competing over a shortage of top-tier stock. Market Manipulation Exposed: Henry and Danny explain how and why certain sectors of the marketplace at large are facing artificial manipulation right now, and how savvy enthusiasts can spot it. The Flight to the Vintage: Why there is a massive, accelerating appreciation for older cars. Buyers are moving away from digital complexity and heavily investing in analog, visceral driving experiences. The Outliers: A close look at the highly unique, low-volume, and specific spec Porsches that are quietly bucking the curves and rapidly climbing in value.Whether you are looking to trade up, cash out, or just want the ultimate insider knowledge on the health of the UK Porsche industry, this is a masterclass in market literacy.9WERKS RADIO PARTNERS: Heritage Parts Centre: Proud sponsors of 9WERKS Radio.

Tyler Cook is a professional GT3 racing driver who has competed in some of the most grueling endurance races on the planet, the 24 Hours of Spa, the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, IMSA, and GT World Challenge Europe. He's also been living with type 1 diabetes since he was 11 years old. This episode gets into what it actually looks like to manage blood sugar in a fire suit, in a 130-degree cockpit, at 150 miles per hour, sometimes at 3 a.m. Tyler takes us back to his diagnosis in 2006 — an ICU stay, four IVs, and a very specific grief over the chocolate mousse at Epcot's France pavilion. From there, he walks us through the journey from go-karts in his dad's garage to GT3 race cars with 650 horsepower. Along the way, there was bullying in middle school over his diet, sneaking to the bathroom to give injections on dates, and a decision somewhere along the line to stop hiding his diabetes and start owning it. We get into the technical side, too: how OmniPod changed his race management strategy, why adrenaline sends his blood sugar climbing instead of crashing, what a 24-hour-race insulin plan actually looks like, and what it means to have a Gatorade button wired into your cockpit as an emergency low-blood-sugar protocol. Tyler also talks about the physical training side of racing — heart rate zone work, neck day (yes, neck day), and why a GT3 driver can be pressing 1,200 pounds of brake force per pedal. The episode wraps with something that's been sitting with both Rob and Tyler: the idea of trusting the process. For Tyler, the lesson comes through racing — you can't skip steps from spec Miata to GT3. For people with T1D, it's the same. Wherever you are in your management journey, that's where you are — and it's going to get better if you just keep going.

When the going gets tough….the tough get going as they say! Finding support from the Day Family in New Zealand and the secret to its longevity. Spreading his wings to compete abroad and doing double duties between Formula 3 and racing a Lamborghini in Asia.

Why Pro-Am racing is about bringing so much more than just driving talent and how he’s enjoying the chance to share the knowledge now. SIM racing with Shane van Gisbergen and some laughs while flatting with Motorsport journos James Pavey and Simon Chapman. Memories of his late codriving mate Tim Miles and how ‘Milesy’ quietly helped make a Supercars test happen. You get the feeling Brendon has unfinished business in Supercars but in the meantime he’s found a new home at Tigani Motorsport and the day after we recorded he and Sergio Pires won in the team’s Mercedes AMG GT3 at The Bend Motorsport Park. If you’re an aspiring racer there are some ripper takeaways in this convo as well, from underrated skills in Motorsport and is finding an opportunity or keeping it harder?

Nick Murray joins ElevenAfterNine for a conversation about what's actually worth owning in the Porsche lineup right now — and his answer just might ruffle some feathers in the GT3 community.We get into the Lemon Law saga that put Nick on the map, why most first-time buyers over-spec their cars, the options that are a complete waste of money (PDCC, we're looking at you), and why Nick says he'd sell a free GT3 to buy something he'd actually drive. Plus: why the current Carrera T might be the most complete 911 Porsche makes, the truth about the understated horsepower numbers on the turbocharged cars, and a 993 cabriolet love letter that'll make you rethink the "coupes only" crowd.This one's for people who drive their cars.FOLLOW NICK MURRAY YouTube: youtube.com/@NickMurrayInstagram: instagram.com/droppedbaby1 Facebook: facebook.com/kiwinicktubeELEVENAFTERNINE Website: ElevenNine.com Instagram: instagram.com/theelevenafternine Main Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNine Podcast Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNinePodcastCHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome Nick (and the Casio calculator watch club) 02:30 The 991.1 that started it all: Nick's Lemon Law story 07:00 Picking up a broken car and the buyback fight 09:30 Why the video blew up — and why he didn't want it to 13:30 Becoming the Erin Brockovich of Porsche 16:30 Over-speccing your first Porsche (and what to skip) 17:30 PDCC: the expensive option nobody needs 20:30 Why dynamic chassis control makes passengers car sick 22:30 Deviated stitching, leather dashes, and other money pits 24:00 Speccing a new Carrera T: what you actually need 27:30 "If Porsche gave me a free GT3, I'd sell it" 30:30 GT3s on track vs. GT3s in real life 31:30 Base vs. S: the case for buying less car 36:30 The Plaid Effect and why the Turbo S gets boring 38:00 The slowest 911 you can buy (it's not what you think) 39:00 Why the base, T, and S are wildly underrated on horsepower 40:00 A $1,500 tune makes more power than a GT3 43:00 PDK vs. manual: the honest answer 46:00 The 4.0L Cayman/Boxster engine nobody talks about honestly 49:00 Nick's 993 cabriolet: the underdog love story 54:00 The time Nick cooked his 993 in his own garage 57:30 Why air-cooled cars refuse to die Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Brian Harris built five dental practices, filled his garage with a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, a GT3, and a G-Wagon, and still wasn't any happier than when he had one office. So he did what almost no one does: he sold the practices back to his associates, went back to one location, and doubled down on the craft he actually loves. In this episode, Peter, Craig, Ian, and Brian unpack the real story behind the highlight reel. Why ego drives expansion more than strategy. Why financial success doesn't automatically create fulfillment. Why younger dentists need to rev the RPMs before they chase lifestyle dentistry. And why the ability to walk away from something you built might be the most underrated skill in the profession. Brian also shares what he's learned from nearly a decade running his own mastermind, building Smile Virtual, and doing $400K a month in production as a solo cosmetic dentist. His core message to every dentist listening: connection before conversion. Stop trying to close people. Start organizing your practice and your life around what actually makes you excited to show up. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 437 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh Special Guest: Dr. Brian Harris In this episode, Peter Boulden, Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh sit down with Dr. Brian Harris, cosmetic dentist, founder of Smile Virtual, and headliner at the 2026 Bulletproof Summit in Scottsdale. Brian shares the unfiltered story of scaling to five practices, realizing he was making less money and carrying more stress, and making the unconventional decision to go back to one office and focus on what he loves. If you've ever wondered whether more locations, more revenue, or more stuff will actually make you happier, this episode is a brutally honest look at what happens when you get everything you thought you wanted and have to recalibrate. TAKEAWAYS - Building multiple locations without the right leadership layer can leave you earning less than you did with one - Ego and approval addiction are often the real drivers behind expansion decisions - The grind phase early in your career is necessary and shouldn't be skipped - Knowing when to take the cul-de-sac back out is just as important as perseverance - Material success (cars, money, status) does not reliably increase happiness - Organizing your practice around what excites you creates better outcomes than chasing what others say you should do - Connection before conversion is the key to case acceptance and long-term practice success - Social media content works best when it's about your patients, not about you - Repetition through tools like Smile Virtual builds consultation skills that translate to real-life case acceptance - Being out of balance isn't a failure if you recognize it and course correct CHAPTERS 00:00 Opening Banter and Introductions 01:09 What Should the World of Dentistry Be Like 02:53 What Would You Tell Your Younger Self 04:29 The Case Against Lifestyle Dentistry Too Early 06:08 The Dip, the Cul-de-Sac, and Knowing When to Walk Away 07:15 What Are You Most Proud Of 09:15 Going from One Office to Five and Back Again 11:25 The Counter Narrative to Build Build Build 13:51 It Was Ego 15:17 A Garage Full of Supercars and the Same Level of Happiness 17:12 The Trap of Chasing Financial Success 18:16 Finding What You Actually Love About Dentistry 21:10 The Value of Loving Your Craft 23:51 The Strivers Curse and Being Out of Balance 26:10 Acknowledging When You're Out of Balance 28:13 Approval Addiction and Learning to Say No 30:20 People Pleasing Beyond the Operatory 32:27 Building a Personal Brand That Serves Patients 35:07 Content Strategy and Making It About Others 37:06 The Elite Mastermind and Finding Your Tribe 41:56 The Danger of Wrong-Fit Groups and Outside Influencers 44:36 Authenticity Over Sales Tactics 46:09 How Smile Virtual Builds Real Consultation Skills 49:46 Brian's Message to Every Dentist Listening 53:18 The Spirit of Service and Why It Wins 55:27 Brian's Megaphone Moment 59:09 Closing and Summit Details REFERENCES - Bulletproof Summit 2026 - https://bulletproofsummit.com/ - Bulletproof Mastermind - https://bulletproofmastermind.com/ - Smile Virtual - https://smilevirtual.com/

Max Verstappen produced a standout debut performance at the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, in command of the race for the majority of its 24 hours before Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing were forced out of the lead with just over three hours remaining following a driveshaft failure on the #3 Mercedes-AMG GT3. The four-time F1 world champion, sharing the car with Dani Juncadella, Lucas Auer and Jules Gounon, had delivered spells of excellent driving across both day and night in his first 24-hour race, a performance that further underlined his ability to adapt seamlessly across different disciplines of motorsport. With Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing forced to retire, the sister #80 Mercedes inherited the lead to take overall victory, with the #84 Red Bull Team ABT Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 classified second after a recovery drive from a lap-one puncture. A record 352,000 spectators attended the 24h Nürburgring weekend for Verstappen's debut appearance, a surge many are calling the "Verstappen effect". The charge began on the opening lap, when Juncadella moved up the order from P4 as the pole-sitting Red Bull Team ABT #84 suffered a puncture. Verstappen took over for his maiden Nordschleife race stint with the #3 in P3, and a brief early scare onto the grass did little to slow him. Settling into rhythm, he stormed through the order with a string of thrilling overtakes to take the lead inside his very first stint. From there the #3 settled into a sustained battle at the front, with the team's four-driver rotation slotting into the rhythm of the race. After Verstappen's opening double stint, Gounon took the car on for his run before Auer reclaimed the lead with a strong spell of his own. Juncadella then took the wheel into the small hours, going lap-for-lap with the chasing #80 as the two factory Mercedes cars opened up a commanding gap over the rest of the field, the two rarely separated by more than 20 seconds across the full race distance. Verstappen was at the centre of the action across the overnight hours. The Dutchman pulled nearly half a minute clear of the sister car on his way to a string of standout moments, including a 270 km/h side-by-side battle on the Döttinger Höhe that saw the #80 run onto the wet grass before recovering, and a patient overtake to put the #3 back into the lead after more than 20 minutes of pursuit. The 24h Nürburgring is widely regarded as one of the most punishing events in motorsport, and across the race weekend a sizeable share of the 161-strong field were caught out by some combination of mechanical issues, crashes and the Nordschleife's notoriously changeable conditions. By the time the chequered flag fell, only 18 of the 41 GT3 cars that had started the race were still running. Heading into the final four hours, Verstappen had stretched the lead back out to 33 seconds before handing over to Juncadella on his in-lap. The issue struck shortly after, just three laps into the Spaniard's stint. An initial ABS warning escalated into vibrations from the rear right corner, and the car limped back to the garage where mechanics diagnosed a broken driveshaft and significant rear axle damage. With repair time running to nearly an hour, victory was no longer possible, but the team committed to rebuilding the car so it could rejoin the race for the closing laps. "We spoke with Max and the other three drivers, and everybody is so disappointed," said Mercedes-AMG manager Stefan Wendl. "But we said let's send this beautiful car out again for the last two or three laps and present it to the fans who have cheered for 20 hours and tried to bring us to victory." Juncadella, who was behind the wheel when the issue struck, took the disappointment in his stride: "It's obviously very heartbreaking, but motorsport is like that sometimes. There are many things you cannot control. The mechanical aspect in motorsport can sometimes be very cruel, and it was with us this time. Unfortunately, the race was three hours too long for us, and we couldn't make it to the end. Nevertheless, we have to be proud of everything that has been done. The team was incredible with the calls they did in the race. Max had a lot of fun; we could all see that. Maybe now there's a reason to come back." Driving alongside Verstappen for the first time, Lucas Auer reflected on the team dynamic: "Last time we drove together was against each other, and it's definitely better to have him as a teammate because he is just a machine. He's a lot of fun, a hard worker and has amazing speed." The sister #80 Mercedes of Team RAVENOL (Maro Engel, Luca Stolz, Fabian Schiller and Maxime Martin) went on to take Mercedes-AMG's first 24h Nürburgring victory in a decade, having recovered from a Top Qualifying crash that had left them starting in 25th place. Red Bull Team ABT held on to second despite a late penalty for a Code 60 infringement, finishing 16 seconds clear of the third-placed Walkenhorst Aston Martin. Red Bull Team ABT's Luca Engstler, who shared driving duties in the #84 with Mirko Bortolotti and Patric Niederhauser, could scarcely believe the team had fought back to second after a puncture dropped them to 14th: "It was an incredible week. We had a very good qualifying, starting front row, and then we had a horrible start, got taken out, and we had the puncture, and we were two and a half minutes down. We dropped back to about nine minutes behind the leader. But I never gave up, and in the end, we're here, and that's just insane." Race engineer Leon Wippersteg, fresh from delivering Lamborghini's first Nürburgring front-row lockout in qualifying, credited the wider team effort that delivered second place: "It was one year of preparation to come here and to perform. All the drivers, engineers, mechanics, all the partners, everything has to fit together to be able to perform. We had the package, and I would say we're one of the quickest manufacturers out there. I think we managed well, and I'm very proud." La revanche de Servol et Jousset en Championnat de France FFSA GT  Malchanceux samedi, Rudy Servol et Léo Jousset ont renoué avec la victoire ce dimanche sur le Circuit de Dijon-Prenois David Levy et Jodie Sloss remportent leur premier succès en Am Cup Romain Monti et Rodolphe Wallrgen prennent le large dans l'Alpine ELF Cup Series, Gillian Lay et Mikkel Njor lauréats dans la Ginetta Cup. Le Circuit de Dijon-Prenois a offert aux fans du Championnat de France FFSA GT deux courses hyper spectaculaires. Malgré une météo fraîche pour la saison, 13.420 spectateurs ont rejoint le mythique tracé bourguignon ce week-end… et ils n'ont pas été déçus ! N'ayant pas pu prendre le départ samedi suite à un problème technique, Rudy Servol et Léo Jousset (Alpine A110 GT4+ / Race Cars Consulting) ont pris une cinglante revanche ce dimanche en menant cette seconde course de bout en bout. Mais avec un total de trois neutralisations en 60 minutes de course, ils n'ont jamais pu réellement souffler. Leur deuxième victoire de la saison, après la course 1 de Nogaro, leur permet de de conserver leurs chances au championnat.  Avec une ultime relance pour un seul tour en fin de course, on s'attendait à vivre de nombreux scénarios… Harri Reynolds er Rhys Lloyd (Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 / Circuit Toys) croyaient s'offrir la deuxième place, mais les Gallois étaient pénalisés après l'arrivée pour un contact durant la course. Premiers des concurrents de la classe Am à passer sous le drapeau à damier samedi, David Levy et Jodie Sloss (Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 EVO / Mirage Racing) ont perdu la victoire sur le tapis vert après la course, le dépassement décisif pour la victoire ayant été effectué après le déclenchement de la procédure Full Course Yellow. Ce dimanche, rien n'est venu entraver leur marche en avant et le duo franco-écossais signe ainsi son premier succès de la saison. Avec une victoire samedi puis une deuxième place ce dimanche, Nicco Ferrarin et Julien Briché (Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport / JSB Compétition) ont marqué des points très importants pour le championnat en devançant deux fois Stéphane Lémeret et Stéphane Auriacombe (Alpine A110 GT4 EVO / CMR), toujours leaders mais avec une avance de 2 points seulement sur la paire Ferrarin-Briché.  Monti et Wallgren creusent l'écart en Alpine ELF Cup Series, de nouveaux vainqueurs en Ginetta Cup. Les arrivées au sprint deviennent une habitude dans l'Alpine ELF Cup Series. Mais un final avec 85 millièmes de seconde de différence entre les vainqueurs et leurs dauphins, c'est une première !  Dans cette course entre les Alpine A110 Cup, Romain Monti et Rodolphe Wallgren (Chazel Technologie Course) ont donc remporté de justesse leur troisième victoire de la saison face aux vainqueurs de la veille, Gosia Rdest et Paul Alberto (Chazel Technologie Course).  Deux fois en pole position dans la classe, le jeune Luxembourgeois de 16 ans Lenny Kieffer et son nouvel équipier Julien Neveu (Schumacher GP) sont montés sur la plus petite marche du podium pour la première fois après une magnifique prestation. Roulant en solo et ne marquant pas de points au championnat, Axel Constantin (Chazel Technologie Course) a devancé Julien Paget et Anthony Pisano (Chazel Technologie Course). 

Ruckus Debrief Ruckus is in the rearview and the roads delivered. Cold weather, beautiful scenery, and rock chips that serve as a reminder you actually drove the thing. This is what it's for. No complaints from anyone in the crew — the kind of event you start planning to return to before you've even unpacked. The Headlines: Porsche Jobs, Nurburgring, and Luft Atlanta Porsche is cutting 500 jobs tied to ongoing revenue pressure and nobody here is happy about it. We never like to see people lose their jobs — full stop. On the racing side, the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring is right around the corner, which means a lot of sleepless nights ahead for the right reasons. And for the enthusiast crowd, Luft is headed to Atlanta this October. Last year it was North Carolina, so the southeast is getting some real love on the calendar right now. Vanthoor to McLaren — And What Porsche Isn't Saying Laurens Vanthoor is joining McLaren's hypercar program on loan from Porsche for 2027. No official announcement about what this means for Porsche's factory team presence, but the crew has seen this movie before. When Porsche starts farming out factory drivers and running every livery they can on the factory car, it's usually a preview of an exit — the same pattern played out before they stepped back from the RSR program. Nothing confirmed, but the read here is that Porsche is pulling back from that factory hypercar effort whether they've said so or not. 997 GT3s Are Gone — And the Price Is Whatever the Seller Wants The 997 GT3 market has reached a point that only a handful of models ever hit: the cars aren't listed because the owners aren't selling. When they do transact, it's a phone call, not a listing. Word of mouth, private deals, specialty dealers with one car every few months. A 997.1 GT3 with a minor Carfax note and 60,000 miles is moving at $175,000, and the crew doesn't think that's anywhere near the ceiling. The reason this happens isn't complicated — as more people enter the Porsche world and chase a real driving experience, demand for the cars that actually deliver it concentrates. Supply doesn't move. Price does. The only honest answer a seller can give a buyer right now is: find me another one. Thank you for the support — it genuinely means everything.

Today's episode will not be a surprise to anyone who follows the automotive news cycle - because of course we're talking about the 911 GT3 S/C! In true Carmudgeon-form, Jason and Derek pull apart the blasphemous, recently announced Porsche GT car and discuss whether it's worth the hate, or better to hate on the haters. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before this - Jason gives an update on his recent battles with finishing his 1996 Volkswagen Cabrio VR6 swap (Mk3), rooted largely from OBD-II getting in the way of the car passing California smog testing. But really - what is OBD-II, why does it matter, and why can it make engine swaps a total nightmare? Derek and Jason discuss (and moan upon) the variables, including how to do drive cycles, set monitors, and stay sane in the process. To add fuel to the fire, Jason discusses the Cabrio's latest clutch slave mishap that almost left him stranded before a rally with friends. And putting a nail in the tire of Derek's 964 Porsche 911. On the subject of 911s - and cabriolets - Derek then explores the origins of disdain on the new GT3 S/C. Interestingly - Porsche is not the first brand to go about taking the roof off a track-focused road car variant - citing the rather cherished existence of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spyder 16M, the 599 Speciale Aperta, and the 458 Speciale Aperta. Not to mention - if Porsche is making a convertible GT3, could they also bring back a Speedster too? Time and speculation will tell - but not without Carmudgeonation... Tune in for more!

The GT3 S/C Hot off the press, literally revealed yesterday, Porsche unveiled the 911 GT3 S/C, and we had a lot to say. Let's start with what it actually is, because the name does some heavy lifting. S/C stands for Sport Cabriolet, though Porsche being Porsche, they let you sit with that for a second before confirming it. The badge itself is a callback to the 911 SC from the late 1970s, where SC meant Super Carrera, a car that basically defined what the usable everyday 911 looked like before the GT program existed. Using it here is either a brilliant wink at the obsessives in the room or the kind of marketing move that makes you think someone in Zuffenhausen has been deep on Rennlist. Either way, it works. So what did they actually build? Porsche took the lightweight bones of the 911 S/T and dropped in the naturally aspirated 4.0 liter flat six from the GT3. 510 horsepower, 9,000 rpm. And the result is the first ever open top GT3 in production history. Not a limited run. Not 1,948 units. You can actually order one, which is either the most exciting or most controversial sentence in this episode depending on who you ask. The Weight Question This is where the internet was ready to roast Porsche, and they came prepared. The GT3 S/C weighs 1,497 kilograms. That is just 18 kilos more than the standard GT3 coupe and about 30 kilos more than the 991 generation Speedster. For a convertible that number is almost offensive in how good it is. Carbon fiber on the hood, fenders, doors, and rear anti roll bar. Magnesium wheels standard. Carbon ceramics. They even swapped the battery to a lithium ion unit to kill another four kilos. At some point it stops being engineering and starts being a personality disorder, but we respect it. The Roof Here is the thing that split the room a little. This is the first GT3 with a fully automated power top. Twelve seconds. Electric. Works at up to 37 miles per hour. The purists who are already composing their forum posts about how the Speedster had a manual tonneau cover and that was the whole point, we hear you. But if you have ever been caught in a South Florida rain shower at a Cars and Coffee in your suede seat 911, you understand why this exists. Porsche also threw in a heated rigid glass rear window and an integrated electric wind deflector. This is not a race car you bought to trailer. It is a road car they actually want you to live with. Manual Only. No Debate. No PDK option. Not available. The GT3 S/C comes exclusively with the short ratio six speed manual and that is the entire spec sheet on transmission. At $273,000, Porsche is making a pretty clear statement about who this car is for. The chassis is tuned closer to the GT3 Touring than the full winged GT3, which makes sense because you are not taking this to a track day, you are on a mountain road with the roof down and the flat six screaming toward nine thousand rpm with nothing between you and that sound. That is the pitch. That is the whole pitch, and it is a genuinely good one. What It Actually Means The S/C picks up the spiritual thread the Speedster left, but Porsche is clear it is not a direct successor. The Speedster was a numbered tribute. This is a catalog car, which is either democratizing access to the GT3 experience or softening what made the Speedster special. We landed somewhere in the middle on that one. What is not debatable is that the cylinder heads are revised from the previous generation GT3 and the camshafts are the sharper units from the GT3 RS, so the engine is genuinely better. You get more top end character. You get it with the sky above you. At this price, with this spec, Porsche is not asking you to compromise. They are asking you to decide what kind of driver you are. Outro That is the GT3 S/C. Drop your thoughts in the comments, are you buying it, are you waiting for the inevitable RS version, or are you holding out for something that says Mezger on the cam covers.

Has Porsche lost the magic, or is the future faster and more focused than ever? This week, from an MOT station at VAS Works, Lee and Andy sit down to dissect a month of intensive driving across six of the most important models in the Porsche back catalogue and current lineup.We start with the "Holy Grail" of the 90s: the 964 Carrera RS. How does its seam-welded chassis and manual rack compare to the technological powerhouse that is the new 992.2 GTS T-Hybrid? We also dive deep into the GT3 lineage, revisiting the 996.2 GT3 — the car that many believe represents the peak of the water-cooled Mezger era.Then, we turn our attention to the mid-engine masters. With the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the 718 GT4 both in the mix, we ask if the newer cars have finally eclipsed the legendary 987.2 Cayman R. Is the R's hydraulic steering still the benchmark for feel, or does the GT4's chassis precision win the day?In this episode, we discuss:The 964 RS vs. 992.2 GTS: A 35-year gap bridged. Does the T-Hybrid system deliver the same visceral thrill as a blueprinted air-cooled flat-six?GT3 Purity: Why the 996.2 GT3 is still the "sweet spot" for many purists in 2026.Mid-Engine Battle: 718 GT4 vs. Cayman R. We settle the debate on which mid-engine Porsche offers the most "Driven Not Hidden" rewards.The GTS 4.0 Factor: Why the 718 GTS 4.0 might actually be the best all-rounder Porsche has ever built.Future Values: Which of these six icons is the smartest place for your money right now?The 9WERKS Testing Lineup:Porsche 964 Carrera RS: The analog benchmark.Porsche 996.2 GT3: The Mezger-powered icon.Porsche 992.2 GTS: The T-Hybrid future.Porsche 718 GT4: Track-bred precision.Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0: The daily-driver hero.Porsche 987.2 Cayman R: The lightweight legend.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

Is this the purest modern Porsche ever produced? In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we are joined by a "quad-squad" of 987.2 Cayman R owners from the Driven Not Hidden Collective to find out why this stripped-out special has become the definitive modern classic of 2026.While the 981 and 718 GT4s might have more power and "mini-supercar" looks, the Cayman R is the final stand for hydraulic steering and a sub-1,300kg curb weight. Our four guests break down the reality of owning the "R" – from the iconic pull-strap doors and carbon bucket seats to the sublime balance that only 330hp in a mid-engine chassis can provide.In this Cayman R Owners Roundtable:Steering Perfection: Why the transition to electric steering in later models makes the 987.2 R feel "alive" in comparison.The Weight Debate: Does saving 55kg over a Cayman S really transform the car on a twisty UK B-road?Spec Warfare: Manual vs. PDK, and why the Carbon Buckets (P03) and Sports Exhaust (PSE) are the non-negotiable "must-haves" for 2026 buyers.Real-World Values: With Cayman R prices solidifying, is this the last "safe" place to put your money in the Porsche world?Living with the R: Four owners share their stories of track days, European tours, and why they haven't "traded up" to a GT4.The Cayman R "Holy Grail" ChecklistIf you're hunting for one of these in 2026, our owners agree these are the specs that define the experience:Transmission: 6-speed manual for the purists, though the 7-speed PDK is surprisingly sharp.Interior: Carbon fiber bucket seats are essential for both the feel and the future resale value.Air conditioning: Yes, it added weight, but it gets hot in there without it!Wheels: The ultra-lightweight 19" Spyder alloys are a must for that unsprung weight advantage.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

Spike and Zuckerman hold down the garage, while Jonny is lost somewhere in Austin. Zuckerman rolls in a pristine 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junior (factory plastic still on the seats) and Brian Finster from Sotheby's Motorsport stops by to talk high-end online car auctions. Also on the docket: California's Montana car registration tax evasion crackdown, the new Porsche 911 Turbo S putting GT3 buyers in an existential crisis, and somehow... funeral home horror stories. ______________________________________________
