Heavy fog permeated the first half of Friday activity at Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI.

However, once the marine layer finally dissipated after 1 p.m., there was still plenty of material to come out of the second day of the weekend.

Michael Christensen meets the 1998 911 GT1-98

In 1998, Porsche won the 24 Hours of Le Mans overall with the Porsche 911 GT1-98. The win kicked off Michelin’s run of 21 consecutive overall wins at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Michael Christensen took his first Le Mans win this year in a historic car of his own. His No. 92 Porsche 911 RSR was adorned in Porsche’s “pink pig” livery, which graced a 1971 Porsche 917/30. He shared the GTE-Pro class winning entry with Laurens Vanthoor and Kevin Estre. Both of those two are also here at Rennsport this weekend.

Today at the track, Christensen had an opportunity to sit in the 1998 911 GT1-98. This united one of Porsche’s factory drivers to win with the first car that has kicked off Michelin’s current Le Mans win streak.

Christensen and Estre race full-time in that No. 92 car in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
