Porsche Club Modern Registers Display Event
Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone Circuit
April 29th, 10:00am""4:00pm
BOOKING FROM 21ST FEBRUARY

With your support this could be one of the largest gatherings of modern Porsches in the UK. It is, principally, an opportunity to meet fellow Porsche owners and chat about what we enjoy most "" our cars.

You are part of the experience that makes these events worthwhile. Modern Registers include Boxster, Cayman, 911 types 996 and 997 (including associated GT and Turbo), Cayenne and Panamera and water cooled Porsches from 1996 onwards. The aforementioned are the featured cars but all Porsches will be welcome. Please note that due to demand, parking on-track is reserved for the featured cars only.

By special invitation from Porsche Cars GB, this year's Modern event will be held at the spectacular Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone Circuit, and will include:

· A National debut for the new Boxster (type 981)
· Static displays of all modern Porsches from Boxster through to Panamera
· On-track parking display of featured cars
· Club Shop and Porsche Design Drivers Selection
· Static displays of modern racing Porsches
· Catering for all tastes and budgets (you can even bring a picnic)
· Displays of the latest Porsches available in the UK
· A chance to view the superb Porsche Experience Centre facilities

Those who pre-book early will have the opportunity to participate in one of the following dynamic experiences:

· Catch a slide on the Kick Plate "" A moveable metal plate set flush with the road surface designed to be triggered remotely as the car travels over it, thereby generating the effect of a loss of rear wheel traction*

· Keep your cool in on the Ice Hill "" simulating sheet ice with computer controlled water jets, this area allows drivers to explore general car control.
· Experience the power of the Panamera on the low-grip circuit "" specially formulated tarmac creating an ideal environment where over-steer slides can be provoked, corrected, and held**
· Marvel at the Cayenne abilities off-road - purpose built to include steep hill climbs, descents and rough terrain. A challenging course to really test the Porsche Cayenne**

The Porsche Experience Centre is a very special facility for the Porsche enthusiast. Its architecture echoes Porsche design in functionality with exquisite detailing and is worthy of a visit in its own right.

Entry will be £10 per adult for Club members (£15 for non-members) and, to speed entry to Silverstone, pre-booking is strongly recommended. Phone: 020 8875 8691[/b] to book. Have your driving licence details at hand if you wish to take part in one of the driving events. As with all driving events, you will be required to produce your driving license on the day. If you have a photo card license, please ensure you also bring the paper section to be eligible to drive.
We strongly recommend pre-booking to ensure track parking on the day. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee track parking for featured cars that have not booked in advance.

Hi. Just to let you all know.
I have just rung the said number and been told that the club have jumped the gun a little as the event details have not been finalized yet and bookings are not being taken right now. They have taken my name and phone number and will ring me in a couple of weeks.[8|]
 
Hi Phil
I did put the booking date above but have now highlighted to hopefully save other members the wasted call.

Please note, change in text from Porsche Cars GB for the Boxster & Beyond event.

Old text:

Catch a slide in the new Boxster on the Kick Plate "" A moveable metal plate set flush with the road surface designed to be triggered remotely as the car travels over it, thereby generating the effect of a loss of rear wheel traction.
Keep your cool in the new Boxster on the Ice Hill "" simulating sheet ice with computer controlled water jets, this area allows drivers to explore general car control, as well as understanding the specific handling characteristics of the new Boxster.

Amendments made below in red:

Full and amended details will be available in the next copy of Porsche Post and the website.

Please don't ask me why I am just passing on the information, but for those reading in 'Black & White' it would appear that the new Boxster 981 will not be used on the handling tracks.
 
Tickets, parking, Kick Plate and lunch all for 2 booked and again with the usual Porsche efficiency[:)]
 
Thats me booked up for tickets, parking, lunch and kick plate.
Looking forward to it.

I gave the girl my email address but if there is any problem can one of the organisers PM me here?
Tried emailing boxsterandbeyond@porsche-events.co.uk but it failed, so not sure if it is correct address or some IT problem.
