PORSCHE | 911 991-2 RSR TEAM PORSCHE GT N 911 2nd GTLM CLASS 24h DAYTONA 2020 EARL BAMBER - MATHIEU JAMINET - LAURENS VANTHOOR - WHITE RED

Fireworks still hung in the Florida night when Earl Bamber launched the white-red 911 RSR-19 into the darkness, its 4.2-litre flat-six howling a deeper tenor than any Porsche before it.
Through 16 caution periods the #911 traded elbows with BMW, Corvette and Ferrari, diffuser sparks dancing off NASCAR’s Turn 4 while Mathieu Jaminet carved 1:42 laps in pitch-black traffic.
Dawn mist rose over the back-straight lake as Laurens Vanthoor reeled in the class-leading BMW M8, the two GTLM titans locked nose-to-tail for three breathless hours.
A penultimate yellow set up a sprint finish; Vanthoor’s final dive inside at Turn 1 drew cheers but the M8 escaped, winning by just two seconds after 24 hours and 730 laps.
Porsche’s trio climbed the podium salted with brake dust, champagne and a tinge of “what if,” yet their tireless charge cemented the RSR-19’s debut as a threat for the season.
This 1 : 18 replica captures that near-miss epic—dead-insect freckles on the dive-planes, scorched titanium skid blocks, and the hand-scrawled “THX 911 CREW” on the rear bumper applied by a proud mechanic before sunrise.
Add the Porsche that turned heartbreak into instant legend at Daytona’s twice-around-the-clock classic.
