Porsche 911 GT3 R Absolute Racing 2° Suzuka 1000km IGTC 2025
Japanese tradition<?xml:namespace prefix="o" />
Whether it is the cherry blossom festival or the famous tea ceremonies – Japan is still shaped today by traditions dating back thousands of years. And despite its chequered history, the Suzuka 1,000 km has also been preserved as a traditional event. Since 1966, this classic endurance race has been contested by a wide variety of cars: from the Japanese Super GT and the FIA GT to Group C cars in the All Japanese Sports Car Championship. And it was during this era in particular that Porsche consistently enjoyed success. So it was only natural to choose three legendary Porsche liveries for the 911 GT3 R cars competing in the IGTC’s return to Suzuka in 2025.
The pink pig was a tribute to Porsche’s 917/20 of Le Mans 1971, the pink-and-white Italiya 911 GT3 to the Kremer-Porsche K3 – which became the first European team to win at Suzuka in 1981 – and finally the #7, driven by works drivers Kevin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor and Patrick Pilet, was adorned in the retro livery of the New Man Porsche 956, the Le Mans winner of 1984 and 1985. Their appearance received huge media coverage, and the yellow 911 – fielded by Absolute Racing – came within a hair’s breadth of securing victory. At the end of the race, it was just 13 seconds behind the winning BMW M4 GT3 of WRT. By then, however, the Japanese fans had long since taken Porsche’s retro cars to their hearts.
