Alwin Springer has been called “The O.G.” and “Mr Motorsport” by Porsche executives and historians. Alwin's incredible, decades-long Porsche story starts in the late 1960s, working on Porsches in Toronto, Canada, before learning the race trade at Vasek Polak in California. From here, Springer helped form the world-famous Andial with two friends, before leading Porsche Motorsport North America and rebuilding it front the ground up.

This is a fascinating episode covering nearly 60 years of Alwin's lifelong success racing Porsche cars, and improving road-going variants.
