La Carrera Panamericana 2016

The Carrera-Pilots made lasting memories on the day’s leg from Puebla to Mexico City, which was exciting, exhausting and adventurous. Eight full throttle-legs across 93 kilometres and transit sections of over 515 kilometres had to be completed.

Due to it being a Saturday and 25 degrees out, many spectators gathered along the tracks that were flanked by thorn bushes, cactus forests and jagged rock faces. They barbecued, partied, marvelled and cheered alongside the road. After the last speed test, thousands of fans welcomed the exhausted pilots enthusiastically in the dust-dry western town Tehuacan. Countless pictures were taken, videos recorded and autograph cards were distributed.

Two #porsche 911s, constructed in 1969 and 1973, are pretty far up in the overall placings after day two. German Carrera-debutante Frauke Feess and her pilot Christian Jäger also had a reason to celebrate at the daily awards ceremony: With their #porsche 356, they made third place of the day in the category Sport Menor. “Everything is premium”, says co-pilot Frauke Fees, who is somewhat exhausted but happy. “And by that I don’t mean our premium gas.”
