Porsche Club At Bicester Heritage – Sun 8th Dec 2019
December’s a funny old time to be holding a big Porsche gathering given the vagaries of UK weather but the thankfully mild (but wet) weather de-risked the dissemination of salt and all roads led to Bicester Heritage for a Porsche Club pre-Christmas gathering.

Out East Porsche Club Meet – Sun 21st Apr 2019
I think my 48 year old 911 is magically mutating into a Plug-In-Hybrid! The Yellow Peril only seems to start reliably if both of Mr Bosch’s best batteries are brimful of volts ……….. which can be a little inconvenient at times.

World Endurance Championship – 6 Hours of Silverstone 2015
Despite somewhat chilly April weather – the opening round of the 2015 WEC at Silverstone was an event not to be missed.
The field of cars seemed smaller than last year but it offered (and delivered) the opportunity to see some great racing.
Audi were the ultimate victors this year with their No. 7 R18 E-tron Quattro driven by Andre Lotterer, Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Fassler but Porsche came a very close 2nd with their No. 18 919 Hybrid driven by Neel Jani, Marc Lieb and Romain Dumas. Toyota completed the LPM1 podium with their No. 1 car driven by Sebastien Buemi, Anthony Davidson and Kazuki Nakajima.
