Couldn't agree more great venue for the annual event with Porsche cars parking within the grounds and not stuck out in an adjacent field somewhere which so often happens.

They don't get much good press these days but have to say well done pcgb

Special thanks to the chap in the white Cayman competing in the 'speed' championship. Came out of the pits and when straight into the gravel; i dropped by ice cream laughing.

What a fantastic show you guys put on today! Excellent displays and some good close racing Parades were excellent too better than the normal ones we see .
My only suggestion which might have been done would have been to put the Turbo parade in chronological order with the earliest through to today It would have been cool to see the evolution of the breed and PCGB are the only people that could do this.
Much much better than any car club event I have ever been to with cars parked in rows in a field!
BRAVO!

Also attended today, and Brands delivers every time the event is held there.

Great turn out of cars with a good mix of old and new.

Well done PCGB, now if only I had won the concours!

Great weekend - well worth the 4 hour drive each way!
Well done all involved

It was fantastic, loved the day.

Wasn't a PCGB event, though, it was MSV who organised it and we were only attending?

Not complaining, as we'll take any praise, but to be fair if it had all gone wrong it would be unfair to blame PCGB.

Very much enjoyed the event at Brands today, plenty to see and do, loads of lovely cars, good weather, nice day out for me & my missus & the car! Hope they do it again next year.

I agree, a great way to spend a day - lots of interesting cars, decent racing - and I liked the way you could get up close to those special cars along the back of the pit lane. There have been Porsche weekends where it's all been a bit static with the q-tip brigade the main focus, but this was different. I hope it sets the standard for future years.

What an awesome day! Some incredibly rare kit out on display and everyone I spoke to was very welcoming.

Who won the concourse in the end?

We managed to plonk the 930 Turbo in the display for the morning, and PCGB were more than welcoming in letting me on the parade lap at very short notice!

I was in the Marine Blue/Cream car, sandwiched between one of the Minerva Blue (stunning) cars and the Silver Car...with allegedly the first UK 930 just one more to my left!

Awesome - which was yours?

This one.

The Black/Black combo is proper menacing, love it.

I can't quite see from the picture, but is yours the one which appears to have the spacers on the rear wheels? There was a black one which seemed to fill it's rear arches a lot more than standard and I thought it looked brilliant.

[SEE YA]

No spacers on the rear, had the S/S Hayward&Scott system on it.

It makes a nice growl sound.

Six turbos picked up prizes - 3 from the 930 display and 3 from the 964 onwards display.

Glad we managed to get you both on the display and on track! Sorry I didn't catch up with you, I had a busy day - your car looks amazing by the way.

I know that the guys who organised the event will be delighted at all the positive comments although it would take some doing to not have enjoyed the event, it was superb and a real credit to PCGB.
