Overview
- Porsche Penske, revealed Thursday, will run both factory 963 prototypes in a one-race Apple Computer throwback at Laguna Seca on Sunday, May 3.
- The design echoes the Dick Barbour Racing Porsche 935 K3 from 1980, using the rainbow colors and period "Apple Computer" branding that also appeared at Le Mans.
- Porsche and Apple frame the collaboration as an anniversary salute rather than a broader sponsorship shift.
- The No. 7 Porsche of Julien Andlauer and Felipe Nasr leads the GTP standings after wins at Daytona and Sebring, with Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor in the No. 6 entry.
- Laguna Seca was picked for its proximity to Apple Park about 80 miles away and its history hosting Porsche Rennsport Reunion, following an Apple Music-branded look at Long Beach.
