WE ARE PORSCHE | Patrick Long

Thousand Oaks, California, native Patrick Long has one of the most impressive resumes of any driver of his generation. In his 20-year career, 18 of which he spent as the lone American member of the Porsche factory team, Patrick won a dizzying number of races, including two 24 Hours of Le Mans victories, three wins at the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring, and a victory at the Rolex 24 At Daytona, in addition to three IMSA championships, and two SRO titles.
His time with the Petersen/White Lightning Motorsports and Flying Lizard teams helped bring a younger generation of motorsports fans to endurance racing. In 2014, Long and fellow "Porschephile" Howie Idelson started Luftgekühlt, a semi-regular congregation of air-cooled Porsches and their devotees. What began as a small gathering in Venice, California, has grown into an international event and has profoundly impacted the Porsche community, bringing collectors and admirers from all walks of life together.

Patrick is always a gentleman. Porsche are lucky to have him as an advocate for the brand.

[@diez0305]

I'm a mustang guy and have always preferred American cars. The fact that I know who Patrick Long is, his success on track, and his events speaks to how successful of a driver and brand ambassador he is. Glad to see he's looking well after the incident at Laguna Seca!

[@claudiomarangone614]

Honestly, curious…
What do you prefer about American cars?

[@peoplehavetherights]

Nothing but beautiful cars, that's all. 😁

[@anson4741]

Thank you Patrick & Crew for your amazing Luft shows. 🇩🇪

[@Dmitry_Kurakin]

Very awesome interview! thank you!

[@grantlingley1385]

Love this Interview! I still very much see Patrick as this very young driver and yet the years have gone by and he has become this amazing Brand Ambassador! My wife and I are off to Germany this fall and of course we will be visiting the Porsche Museum! Will be fun to see if any of Patrick’s cars will be there.

👍👍

[@gilbertferguson1685]

To drive for Porsche you have to be good and Patrick is one of the best.

[@claudiomarangone614]

Well, that’s an understatement .
To drive for a factory team you have to be a hell of a lot more than good and to try for Porsche…😉

[@mikelyon5595]

Sounds like a good life!

[@Laguna2013]

awesome down to earth guy. you will not believe this, but he himself personally answered my email asking about Luft#1 hats and he does not even know me

[@buzzmantx]

Great comment about the shows bringing people to cars, but people to people, That is so true and I've met some incredible people at car shows with great personal stories as well as stories about their cars. Great video Patrick, thank you
