California Festival of Speed Is Total Porsche Nirvana (Photos)

Check out these hot shots from this year’s SoCal event.

We’ve already brought you a handful of drool-worthy Porsche photos from the the 2017 California Festival of Speed, but can you truly ever get enough? This year’s event was chock full of so many vintage and modern classics that it’s hard to cover them all. The Porsche Club of America‘s premier event simply never fails to disappoint, and this year might have been the best yet.

Aside from a special display that featured every single generation of the 911, there were scores of rare and interesting rides to be seen. But the California Festival of Speed is far more than just a typical car show. It features motorsports events like Time Trail, Club Race, and even track tours. There’s a swap meet, tons of vendors, and of course, plenty of great cars for sale as well.

Seeing all of those cars hit the track is one of the most exciting parts of the weekend. Watching vintage racers rub elbows with modern cars is a real treat, one that we simply can’t fully express in mere pictures. But that doesn’t make these high-res shots from Joe and Mirta of Barnet Photography any less stunning. So soak them in, enjoy, and be sure and book your flight to Fontana for next year’s event.
