How can Porsche claim 28,000 victories in motorsports?

Porsche claims to be the most successful motorsport marque in the world, with more than 28,000 victories. This mean that, from the foundation of the brand to this day, Porsche won 360 races/year. But when searching for Porsche victories in famous categories, it is very hard to find much more than 20 Porsche victories a year. How is this number possible?|||Motorsports is a large category... while there are a few large events here in my area in which Porsche competes (ALMS, Speed GT, Speed Touring, Porsche Cup, Rolex, etc) that would total around 10 Opportunities a year for wins (multiples in one event possible due to multiple classes running in many races). Add to this the range of SCCA and NASA races in the area, from major events like the 25 Hours of Thunderhill down to weekends at any of the regional tracks, and you are looking at ~150 races, of which Porsches probably run in 1/3? Then factor in the PCA Club races and POC races, where a Porsche will always win since there are no other marquees competing, and you have up to 60 potential victories a year before you even get to Time Trial or Solo II events (if you include those, you have another 30-40 events).





Now, if you were to expand those numbers statewide, we'd be up around 300 or so total events a year. Nationwide? 2000-5000 or around there... worldwide? While you should be getting the picture by now, and that is just each year! Porsche has competed in various motorsports since it's start, and has run up a massive victory total in major races. And given it's long popularity among amateur ranks, coming up with a number like 28000+ would be very easy.|||there are tonnes of races around the world in all sorts of places - Porsches win a huge percentage of these. They range from Le Mans to local SCCA Solo, and everything in between. You said you searched "famous categories" which account for far less than 1% of all sanctioned races.|||Porsche started racing as soon as the company started over 70 years ago.





Back then, there were very few race cars. mostly Porsche's.





There were Porsche's in Rally racing, autocross, drifting, lemans, sebring, f1, and so many more.





They won most of their races back in the day.
