After requests from various members for a register concours and the feeling that we are unable to compete fairly with the other models from from Porsche, we have decided to hold our own concours event alongside of the professionals [
]Its hoped that various special catagories will be open to register members from those that want to take part fully and those that wish to appreciate each others cars at a social event and turn up in a clean car- its hoped we can find entry levels for all.
Added to this there is a full days motorsport alongside of this event, so plenty for everyone to see during the day..
As always with our events plans are under way to add something extra over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Castle Coombe is easy reach within the M4 and M5 so ideally situated to the largest area/concentration of owners.
All details on how to enter are below, and please remember that you will need to book your tickets in advance ot get the half price offer of only £7.50
So, come on guys and girls, get your cleaning cloths at the ready and enter.... the worst that can happen is I beat you in my filthy monster [

We have secured a site half way along Dean Straight on which to hold our event, with a concrete hard standing for our Concours Cars and Judging Area plus parking for maybe a hundred cars.

Also in the paddock you will be able to see all the cars close up and see them being prepared for racing.
Club shop will be in attendance on our stand with lots of goodies, as well as other trade stands.
