Manufacturer - related streaks & records

• Porsche continues to lead in all-time victories by marque (90) including LMP2 (22), GT1 (2) and GT2 (66), over Audi’s 74 (50 in R8 and 24 by its diesel-powered R10 TDI). Chevrolet ranks third with 62 and Lola fourth with 37 victories.

• Porsche’s 86 all-time Series pole positions (63 in GT2/GT, 22 in LMP2 and one in GTS) leads all marques. Audi stands second with 57, including 39 by venerable R8, an all-time Series mark for a race car. Corvette has notched 51 poles in GT1/GTS.

• With its LMP2 debut victory at Laguna Seca (2005), Porsche became the first chassis to win in three different classes: GT1, GT2 and LMP2. Porsche also became the second engine marque to post wins in three classes – second only to Ford, a winner in all four Series classes.

• In the GT2 ranks, Porsche won 22 times with its 911 GT3 RSR (Type 996), and ranks first all-time in GT2 race car wins over its predecessor, the GT3 RS that won 22 times. In 2007, Porsche’s new GT3 RSR Type 997 notched its first Series win at Lime Rock by Flying Lizard Motorsports and a second straight crown at Mid-Ohio.

• In the 73-race history of LMP2 in the Series, class entrants have won overall 12 times including an overall victory at Lime Rock for Patrón Highcroft Racing. While AER-MG power has won 25 races, Porsche has closed the gap and the Porsche RS Spyder is the winningest chassis and most successful race car in class history with 22, and long-ago eclipsed the previous Lola EX257 mark of 13.
