Campbell, Dirk Werner and Dennis Olsen took a sensational victory after a seven-way shoot out to the flag in the final half hour, a bold move on Aston Martin driver Jake Dennis by Campbell at Forrests Elbow key to the win

However the result is under investigation due a bump-and-run on BMW's Chaz Mostert inside the last hour

As it stands, the #912 is the winner ahead of the #62 R-Motorsport Aston Martin (Dennis/Matthieu Vaxiviere/Marvin Kirchhoefer) and the #999 GruppeM Mercedes (Raffaele Marciello/Max Buhk/Max Goetz)

The first of the contenders fell early in the final quarter of the race, the #911 that led at the nine-hour mark forced into the garage with a power steering issues just 12 minutes later

That left just seven on the lead lap, Campbell leading the way in the #912 entry on an out-of-sync strategy as EBM tried to get the car home on a stop less than everyone else

The likes of the #62 Aston Martin and the #108 Bentley spent time at the front as the penultimate stops shook out, however once again it was the Porsche that ended up in the lead on Lap 256, now with Dennis Olsen at the wheel, everyone with a single stop to go

At that point the Porsche's fuel economy became crucial. Getting home required fuel saving, which brought the chasing pack more and more into play as the penultimate stint wore on

With 75 minutes to go EBM pulled the trigger, bringing Olsen in and putting Campbell back in the car

The net result was a 90s gap to new leader Dennis in the Aston Martin, which, with everyone only needing one more stop, wasn't going to be enough to hold onto the lead

Instead it was Dennis that had set himself up to lead into the final phase of the race, the Aston Martin driver pitting with an hour to go and emerging with the effective lead still in tact

Maxime Soulet rounded the expected stops off with his final service with 52 minutes to go, handing the Continental over to Andy Soucek

He was set to slot into second place, but – as happened earlier today – the car stalled at the end of pitlane

It got going again, but rather than having the leader in sight the car was left way down in seventh, more than a minute behind Dennis

The leading Aston, meanwhile, was 10s clear of the GruppeM Mercedes, Chaz Mostert 21s behind the leader in third

With 30 minutes to go there was a controversial change of position at the front, Campbell giving Mostert a bump-and-run at The Chase as he grabbed third spot

However it was the Safety Car called just seconds later, to recover a stranded KTM midway down Conrod Straight, that really set up a grandstand finish

It came down to a 22-minute sprint home, the top six running line astern as the #888 sacrificed track position by taking on a fresh set of rubber

Dennis sprinted when the race went green, leaving Marciello and Campbell scrapping over second

The Mercedes was at a serious tyre disadvantage too, GruppeM having opted to to not take on tyres at their last stop in order to retain track position

The bottle-neck created by the AMG was brilliant for Dennis, who had 2.5s up his sleeve after a single green lap

At the start of the second green lap Campbell barged his way into second at Hell Corner, giving him a shot at victory with 15 minutes to go

Within a lap the gap was a matter of tenths, the Aussie tucked under the Aston's wing

He then executed a perfect move at Forrests Elbow, before charging to a remarkable win

Dennis came home second, 3s down the road, while Marciello and van Gisbergen staged an amazing battle for third over the closing laps – the #888 car with the significant tyre advantage – that was decided in the Italian's favour by 0

2s. Mostert finished fifth, Soucek sixth, and Imperatori last of the cars on the lead lap after being penalised for weaving behind the Safety Car on the final restart

Winner of the Pro-Am class was the#51 Spirit of Race Ferrari of Paul Dalla Lana, Pedro Lamy and Mathias Lauda, while the Grove Racing Porsche of Ben Barker and Brenton and Stephen Grove rounded out a comprehensive Class B win

Class C went to the #48 M Motorsport KTM driven by Justin McMillan, Glen Wood and Dean Lillie, with the Invitational class conquered by Adam Hargreaves, Daniel Jilesen and Steve Owen in the #20 MARC V8

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Spotted in Traffic, PDK Rumors Grow - Duration: 2:19.

Earlier this month, the German automotive producer introduced the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport , which is the racing incarnation of the car

And we were surprised to see that the naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter engine of its predecessor soldiered on

After all, the unit had retired a few years ago, when the 991 Carrera models ditched it for a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six

According to Zuffenhausen, the main reasons behind maintaining the engine was the fact that racing customers had already learned to work with it

Regardless, the 718 Cayman GT4 road car won't use the 3.8-liter mill, which leaves us with just one option, namely the single atmospheric mill currently found in the Porsche lineup

We are, of course, talking about the 4.0-liter flat-six, which delivers 500 hp on the 911 GT3 and 520 hp on the 911 GT3 RS

Of course, we're expecting its output to sit closer to 400 hp in order to avoid cannibalization (the racecar's 3.8L motor delivers 425 hp, for instance)

Apotential threat to the 911 was also the reason that determined Porsche to offer the previous GT4 road car in manual-only form, while its circuit version came with a PDK

However, we might just see the company introducing the dual-clutch tranny as an option for the newcomer

Of course, we can't cover this topic without mentioning the 718 Boxster Spyder, which should receive the same engine and gearbox (we're not sure about the fine tuning, though)

You see, production-spec prototypes of the open-air special have been spotted last year, so its debut is also imminent

Porsche Cayenne Turbo Goes Extreme Offroading, Sounds Like a Blast - Duration: 1:51.

And, thanks to the intoxicating mix of on-road performance, luxury and offroad abilities, the original Cayenne Turbo remains a tempting proposal to this day, when the German automotive producer has already introduced the third generation of the machine

And while there are many Porschephiles who grab such used examples and never leave the asphalt, as is the case with tons of super-SUVs, regardless of their age

Then again, there are also aficionados who take these puppies offroading, as the carmaker was extremely serious when engineering the off-the-beaten-path part of the car

Well, we're here to showcase such an example, which involves a Cayenne Turbo that has been given an extreme offroading conversion

The rugged terrain kit was delivered by Overland and this thoroughly transforms the car

And, as you can imagine, the owner of the machine enjoys using the thing according to its newfound purpose

And the piece of footage at the bottom of the page allows us to get a respectable sample of this, as it shows the Porscha making its way through deep snow

Now, as you'll notice in the video, the Cayenne Turbo is also prepared for the moments when the terrain simply proves too much, as it comes with accessories such as shovels, among others

The soundtrack of such adventures can be just as enticing as their visual side, with the 450 horsepower twin-turbo V8 making sure of that

Frozen 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S Looks Stunning - Duration: 2:13.

We're looking at a 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S that has embraced the ice - the sportscar also features practical roof accessories, but this is not the point here

Note that we're dealing with a high-class spec for the Neunelfer, since, for instance, this example of the rear-engined coupe is gifted with the carbon-ceramic wheels, one of the most expensive optional extras on the list (for the record, this will set you back $8,970)

Oh, and make sure to use the swipe feature of the Instagram post below, as there's a second shot waiting for you boys and girls, which might just be cooler than the first one

This is an awesome time to be a Neunelfer fan, as Zuffenhausen is introducing one 911-related development after another

For instance, the company came up with an Aerokit for the Carrera earlier this week

We're talking about a fixed rear wing that rivals that of past GT3s.Of course, this turns it into an opinion splitter

Nevertheless, there's no reason to fear cannibalization and that's because the 992 GT3 will feature more aggressive aero elements

Prototypes of the GT Division animal have been spotted testing with the production body since last year

In fact, we might just see the athlete making its debut by the end of the year.And the news coming from the tech side is brilliant

As the soundtrack of various test cars has shown us, the naturally aspirated flat-six is here to stay

And we can say the same about the optional manual transmission.As far as the new eight-speed PDK is concerned, the setup used for the Carrera could've been sharper, which is why we're eager to see what the engineers have done for the GT3's PDK
