The Vintage Festival is a new event for R5, and it attracted 36 entries to form the largest car club entry and the showpiece of the meeting. Despite heavy rain en route, 23 Porsches came along and it was a good opportunity to meet some new members and catch up with old friends.
The localised rain was kind to Oulton, holding off from 8am to 3pm at the circuit and allowing good spectating for the wide variety of races, pit walks and plenty of socialising. The Vintage Festival is a smaller version of August’s Gold Cup meeting, with interesting displays and off-track entertainment.
Many thanks to all those whose who drove through heavy rain and standing water to display their mud spattered Porsches and enjoy what turned out to be an excellent meeting - another one for the Region 5 annual calendar.
