Modern Porsche event 23rd May 2010

Porsche Silverstone driver experience centre 23rd May 2010

For us modern owners, this is our major club event for 2010.

Instead of a windswept Gaydon( parked on the grass!!) we'll be at the modern Porsche training centre at Silverstone.
Its taking place on the 23rd May 2010 and places will be somewhat limited by the size of the venue itself.

Hopefully we can get a great display and line up of cars at this event.

Details are slowly filtering through from the main organising group and we will update as and when we have the information.
However get the date in your diaries []

Being as this is taking place on a Sunday, we are currently looking at adding that special 997 register feel to the Saturday with hopefully a drive and dine.- more details to follow.

Whats the cut-off year/date for a "Modern" Porsche please?

 

[Alan Woods]

996/Boxster on I believe but older cars were welcome this year (2009), indeed we might have to take our '69 to the 2010 event...

 

[garyw]

Modern is classed as 996, 997, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne and Panamera

I believe 993 comes under the heading of middle years- so Kirtlington is the main event for those...

Full details are/will be in Porsche Post..

Derek will be there in a modern Porsche... but which one??? []

 

[pwebb]

Can't envisage you in a last year's model Derek [], what's on order?

 

[garyw]

The planning stages of this event are gathering pace, I will send out a google mail shortly with the information we have so far.
But to say, its been suggested not to hang about booking the limited amount of tickets that will be available.

2 weeks before the Mrs' due date - what do you think, should I chance signing up?!

 

[911 turbo newbie]

yeh, loads of time[]

 

[Alex L]

If she is 2 weeks early then I will be in BIG trouble!

I obviously wouldn't bring her with me to the event so she would be an hour and a half away.

There is a 20% chance that the baby could be delivered 2 or more weeks early: http://www.dogfish.org/chris/fun/delivery.html

When will bookings be available?

 

[garyw]

Derek et al, its yet to be announced but rest assured we hope to let you know as soon as the booking lines open.

Alex, at least you'll be able to look at the wonderful cars in your possession []
I hope the weather does improve, I'm at Silverstone next week for the Turbo day.. the Ice hill might actually be Ice!! [&:]

Hi Gary,
Would you expect some use of the Silverstone Race Circuit for demonstration drives etc. accepting that the facilities and parking space are very limited at the Driving Experience Centre on 23rd May.

Regards,

John
