Hours for eternity

Endurance races are the supreme discipline in motorsports. Several times per year, the best race drivers worldwide are on the tracks for 24 hours. The 24-hour races at the Nürburgring and in Daytona are the toughest tests for man and material - Le Mans as the third run is the icon among the legendary races. In recent years, Porsche sets standards in the endurance race world championship - with perfection and passion.

Star photographer Frank Kayser and his team observed the delicate and deeply exhausting work of the Porsche team for three years. The world-famous photographer was allowed where other press photographers are not: in the pit, in the pit lane during the change of tyres and drivers, in the closed off areas of the racers´ quarters. His photos show the stress, the top performance, the eternal night, and the success of perfection.

Frank Kayser presents photos of a world yet unknown, Heike Hientzsch sketches the participants´ emotions:

The tension in the pit, in the hidden team lounge
The passion of the fans, the self-abandonment of the mechanics
Unseen perspectives of the track
The beauty of the tracks close to nature
Surprisingly deep background information
