Porsche at the Classic
Discussion
I like Pork, but the infield was a world of mostly everyday Porsche's.
Car park upon car park full of em.
The club is doing itself no favours parking up a sea of mixed cars.
Why not do them in models, or colours, or separating out the rare stuff for a bit of interest?
Most people I spoke to over the weekend thought it was a waste of display area.
On a lighter note, I loved the group C 962's and the other racers as mentioned.
Why do the GT2's sound like they are changing up at 3,000 rpm! Always did at Le-Mans too in the day.

Hi Charge .... I was trying in the GT3 RS ...... fitted megaphones for ear spitting noise ...... then extra heal and toe blips for max crackling in the downshifts ........ was loud even in the car .............I thought Porshe did a great job on the display .. and I enjoyed the Stranglers as well , great weekend

Sorry that "everyday Porsche's" (sic) bore you. The thousands of PCGB members that attended in their pride and joy over 3 days were overwhelmingly supportive of the Club's offer of free infield parking with their discounted tickets.Car park upon car park full of em.

Independently to our dedicated car parks, we had a comprehensive register display area with more cars parked alongside their siblings than any other club. We also had large and dedicated areas celebrating 40 years of transaxle cars and 20 years of Boxster.
Feedback from the event has been extraordinarily positive and, in my view, rightly so.
If you genuinely think that you could organise the PCGB display better, please email me at chairman@porscheclubgb.com as we clearly need your help for next year. Please bear in mind, Silverstone Classic is not our event, we have to work within certain parameters, notably parking people quickly rather than causing traffic jams on the A43.
With respect, to date you are a lone voice in a sea of happiness.

Seems like much of the display area was reserved for overflow, so filling it up was hardly a waste. Where I was parked was deserted on Friday and then again on Sunday.
Roll on next year!

I am talking about the 'everyday' visitor who maybe couldn't even afford a Porsche who I came into contact with, as although I am part of the club I was a participant in one of the race teams present so came into contact with hundreds of people outside the Porsche world and listened to their comments over the four days.
I am not taking away the fact that it was a brilliant event that was well organised by all at PCGB, just pointing out what I and many other people (obviously outside the club bubble) who visited the event thought.
Would it be that hard to park pre '73 in one place, 73-89 in another, 964-993, Boxster-Caymen so on?
Without a bit of gentle feed back how else can you ensure the event gets better each year for the general populous as well as everyone happy to park up in the bulk of the infield?

I take your point and i'm in the aforesaidmentioned club bubble. There were a number of register displays, many of the front runner categories and myself in the turbo display. Many other members had taken advantage of the discounted club tickets and then were just parked in the area they were directed too. I'm led to believe we had over 1000 cars there so it would have been a logistical nightmare to get them in individual groups with people arriving from all four corners at different times. I've been present at many a porsche do where they are parked in individual model groups but I fear this one was a little too big, coupled with the fact its not 'our'gig were invited there by the good people at silverstone. Hope that goes some way to explain.I am talking about the 'everyday' visitor who maybe couldn't even afford a Porsche who I came into contact with, as although I am part of the club I was a participant in one of the race teams present so came into contact with hundreds of people outside the Porsche world and listened to their comments over the four days.
