This was recently announced and I haven't seen it posted here yet so here it is. If you have the chance to go you should because it is amazing. I can't begin to tell you the things I saw at Rennsport II, and I had the cahnce to go to Rennsport I near my parents house, but skipped it. I will never miss one again.

"Porsche Cars North America and Daytona International
Speedway have announced "Porsche Rennsport
Reunion III" will take place at the Florida racetrack the
weekend of November 2-4, 2007.
Sponsored by PCNA and organized by Brian Redman's
Intercontinental Events, Inc., Porsche Rennsport
Reunion III is open to the public and brings together
an unprecedented gathering of significant Porsche
vintage and current racecars and those who have driven
them to victory in the world's most famous sports car
races. It features a three-day program of on-track
competition plus a concours d'elegance, which is open
to the event's participants by invitation. In
addition, special activities are planned honoring the
series of awesome Porsche 917 race cars and
commemorating the 25th anniversary of the racing debut
of the all-conquering Porsche 956/962 prototype
racers.
Held at three-year intervals, the third edition of
Porsche Rennsport Reunion returns to
Daytona International Speedway following that track's
highly successful staging of Porsche Rennsport Reunion
II in 2004. On that occasion, more than 600 Porsche
racecars and dozens of legendary Porsche race drivers
participated in a truly memorable weekend dedicated to
Porsche's motorsport heritage.
"Given the tremendous response to our last event
there," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, president and chief
executive officer of Porsche Cars North America,
"Daytona International Speedway is the logical choice
as the site for Porsche Rennsport Reunion III. It is
filled with Porsche racing history and is one of the
few tracks in America capable of conducting an event
of this magnitude."
Porsche Rennsport Reunion III will honor two of
Porsche's most historic racing models - the Porsche
917 and Porsche 956/962. In coupe form, the
12-cylinder 917/K was the first Porsche to score an
overall win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, scoring
back-to-back victories in the 1970 and 1971 editions
of the French racing classic. Fitted with
twin-turbochargers producing more than 1000
horsepower, the mighty open-cockpit 917/10 and 917/30
rocketed to SCCA Can-Am championships in 1972 and
1973. These achievements by the 917 moved Porsche
to the forefront of the sports car racing world.
Since making its Le Mans debut in 1982 with a stunning
one-two-three overall finish, the Porsche 956 and its
962 stablemate have established themselves as the
most successful models in the history of international
sports car racing. Among their record number of
overall victories spanning 14 seasons are seven in the
24 Hours of Le Mans, six in the Rolex 24 at Daytona,
and four in the 12 Hours of Sebring."

Wow, more than 600 legendary Porsches last time! Too bad I live like few thousand miles from there...

It's only about 2000km for me...all of it land. Sounds like I might have to plan a road trip...

dOmInIX

I think it's worth. If you have free time you should go!

Habitual Speeder

Well, I normally go on a road trip with a pal every few months, or so...and, it's been a few years since I've been to Florida. I can't see why I wouldn't organize to go see this.
