“We look forward to a second exciting season with Patrick Dempsey and to continuing our successful partnership,” said Jens Walther (at left in picture), President of Porsche Motorsport North America (PMNA). “Patrick is a passionate race driver who embodies the professionalism and amiability that makes the Porsche motorsport family what it is.”

The Dempsey relationship with Porsche received a high-profile boost and some significant new exposure this year through the highly acclaimed documentary Patrick Dempsey: Racing Le Mans. The four-part series aired on Velocity, Discovery’s high-octane network, in the United States and is currently premiering in Europe to strong reviews and large audiences.
