Two of the world’s greatest endurance races for GT vehicles within eight days on back-to-back weekends show how Porsche Motorsport and its customer teams faced this extraordinary challenge during the 2019 season. Endurance, a stunning Porsche documentary available on YouTube and Amazon Prime, takes the viewer behind the scenes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (15/16 June 2019) and the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife (22/23 June 2019).

These two endurance classics, just one week apart, put drivers, engineers and team managers under stresses seldom experienced in such a concentrated form, showing the pain and the glory of what such a tight schedule demands. The documentary outlines the background, challenges and tireless efforts of all parties through this excellent 90-minute film.
