Stuttgart. A wonderful line-up of great drivers surrounded by more than 23,000 horsepower: On Friday, 11 December 2009, Porsche works drivers Marc Lieb, Richard Lietz, Jörg Bergmeister, Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, and Romain Dumas will be giving autographs in the Porsche Museum, Stuttgart, from 14:00 to 16:00. And as a particular feature, this very special two-hour session will start with the engine coming to life in the 480-bhp Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, the world’s most successful GT racing car in the 2009 motorsport season.

The drivers are looking back as a highly successful year, Jörg Berg-meister and Patrick Long bringing home the Driver’s and Constructor’s Title in the 911 GT3 RSR in the American Le Mans Series. Scoring three wins in five races, Marc Lieb and Richard Lietz, in turn, won the Driver’s Title in the Le Mans Series.

Porsche’s works drivers were also successful in Germany’s most prominent race, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas, and Marc Lieb, backed up by Nordschleife specialist Marcel Tiemann, clinching Porsche’s fourth overall win in row in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring at the wheel of their
GT3 RSR.

The Porsche Museum is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 9:00 to 18:00. Visit the internet at www.porsche.com/museum for further information.
