Sports motorsport teams need great logistics to move, get to the circuits and take all the necessary equipment to play races. That is why on the outskirts of the racetracks we can see several trucks on race days. For several years, the Porsche racing team used Volkswagen utilities for the aforementioned logistics, turning the already legendary Combi into the emblematic Renndienst (racing service).

The original Renndienst accompanied the success of the Porsche 904, 908, 910 and 917, accompanying Pors...
