Defending Le Mans winners
Chapter 01 · Heritage
From Le Mans 1980
to Laguna Seca 2026.
In the summer of 1980, Dick Barbour Racing rolled a Porsche 935 K3 onto the grid at the 24 Hours of Le Mans wearing a livery no one had seen before — the six-stripe rainbow of a then-tiny computer company in Cupertino called Apple.
Forty-six years later, the spectrum is back. Porsche Penske Motorsport reboots the exact 1980 livery on its championship-leading 963 prototypes for one round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship — fittingly, at the historic Laguna Seca Raceway, eighty miles south of Apple Park. Two anniversaries, one race, six stripes.
“That moment in 1980 marked the beginning of a shared passion for innovation and creativity that continues to define our collaboration today.”
