434: Hurley Haywood - Life with Porsche at Full Speed

Few names are more closely connected to Porsche motorsport than Hurley Haywood. In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with one of America's greatest racing drivers to talk about his remarkable career, his relationship with Porsche, and the cars and people that shaped his life behind the wheel. Hurley shares where his passion for racing began, what made Porsche race cars so special to drive, and which Porsche stands out as his personal favorite. We also look back at his extraordinary record, including five overall victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona, three at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and two at the 12 Hours of Sebring. We also discuss his legendary partnership with Peter Gregg, what racing was really like during one of motorsport's greatest eras, and why Porsche continues to create such a powerful emotional connection with enthusiasts around the world. Most importantly, Hurley reflects on the moments, relationships, and accomplishments that mean the most to him after a lifetime spent at the highest levels of motorsport. Whether you're a Porsche enthusiast, a racing fan, or simply love hearing stories from the people who made automotive history, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. #HurleyHaywood #Porsche #PorscheMotorsport #PorscheRacing #LeMans #Daytona24 #Sebring12 #Brumos #PeterGregg #Porsche911 #Motorsport #RacingLegends #CollectorCars #CarPodcast #TheCollectorCarPodcast Proudly Presented by Broad Arrow Auctions We're excited to announce Broad Arrow Auctions as the new Presenting Sponsor of The Collector Car Podcast!
