Hi Stuart, any news about a ticket deal for Castle Combe August Bank Holiday? I would like to arrange a convoy for region 19

 

[StuartR16]

Yes there is a deal. Tickets are normally £15 each but if you use this code- PCGB13 you will get 2 for 1 including paddock passes, as last year there will be an area for the Porsches to be parked together but we are waiting for confirmation of the location.

Thanks mate.

 

[Stefan Wilczak]

Hi - Is there an update on this meeting, I will be going anyway but is there a PCGB presence planned?

 

[vitesse]

Not a connected thread but overtook a van towing what appeared to be Stuart Ings' race Boxster on a trailer on Monday morning in my Wife's grey 924S.Too late to wave but I did give you a sideways glance.

 

[924nutter]

There will be 11 or twelve from region 19, and usually there is a reseved area for Porsche Parking.

 

[StuartR16]

The Porsche parking will be about the same place as last year and that is down from the Camp corner entry.
There are a few from region 16 and some from the TIPEC Bristol region so there should be a good turn out of Porsches in the car park.

 

[StuartR16]

Yes that was me with the race car (and Elaine) and yes I did notice a 924
We were on an epic drive from Hastings to Bolton, drop the Boxster off at Hartech for a new gearbox (that's another story) and then drive back to Bristol.
Don't want to repeat that in a hurry but I do have to go and pick it up again

I have a spare ticket for Castle Combe on Monday (I did the 'buy one get one free deal') - £7.50 posted to anyone who wants it!! []

See you there

(TICKET NOW SOLD)

Mick

 

[StuartR16]

Really looking forward to Monday, the car is going great and the gear shift problems have finally gone with the new gearbox fitted.

Come and say hello in the paddock, we will be in the 4 car Hartech Racing Team and if the sun is too much for you go and take shelter in the Race Centre with free tea and Coffee for Porsche Club Members although around lunch time it will be full of Racers and their families stuffing themselves before going out to battle.

Hope you all have a good day and remember it is Car 23 that you should be cheering on.[]

Best regards Stuart

 

[Swindon_Mick]

Fantastic results for Stuart at Castle Combe today - a first in class in race one, and second in class in race two. And you made the sun shine as well! []

Silverstone this weekend with 2 races on Saturday and 1 on Sunday

 

[StuartR16]

3 races at Silverstone last weekend

Saturday
Race 1, not nice, decided to rain just as we started the first lap on slicks but ended 5th in class

Race 2 was much better in the dry to come in 4th but picked up another dent in the door

Sunday
Race 3, another good race in the dry, stayed out of trouble (just) to get a 3rd place class podium
