PistonHeads Sunday Service: 17/10/10

Join us at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone for what could be our biggest meet yet


Our venue, nice isn't it?
Our venue, nice isn't it?
It seems to have been a while since we announced a Sunday Service, with both of the September events being held so early in the month. Never fear, however, as the October service is approaching.

This time we are heading to another fantastic location, courtesy of fast car purveyors Porsche UK. Rather than use Porsche's Reading HQ, PistonHeads will be using the purpose-built Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone which can hold, wait for it….700 PH cars.

In addition to the usual Sunday Service ingredients of readers' cars, PHers, breakfast baps and coffee, our friends at Porsche will be laying on some (free) entertainment for you to enjoy during the morning. A selection of Porsche cars will be on display (as you would expect), but in addition you can have a building tour enabling you to see behind the scenes at the Experience Centre, and a pro driver will be doing some demonstration drives on the low-friction handling circuit.

Slidey.....

Silverstone needs no introduction to PHers, but the Porsche Experience Centre might be new to many of you. To access the site, you need to enter the Silverstone circuit, pass through the security gates and turn right, following the perimeter road to the Porsche building. We’ll ensure the building is clearly signposted on the day, so you should find your way there with ease.

The date for this event is Sunday 17th October with doors opening at 09.00 and closing at 13.00. This promises to be a great event, so make sure you get it in the diary, and then sign youself up for a reserved space using the PistonHeads calendar, as if you're not on the list, we'll have to send you away. We do have 700 spaces, though, so there should be plenty of room for all.

PistonHeads would like to thank the fine folks at Porsche UK for their hospitality, and we look forward to seeing you all there.

By 'demonstration drivers' does that mean watch from the sidelines or get scared crapless in the passenger seat?

Sorry to be unclear, it's something to watch rather than take part in, like we offer at Mercedes-Benz World.

I'll see if we can run a comp or something to get some PHers in the cars though.

Excellent!

I haven't been to one of these for a while, but may quite possibly get up and go.

Anyone fancy organising an energetic drive up to Sillystone from North London (Mimms perhaps)?

I will see if I can pursuade the wife to take us up there in her Boxster S. If I book a nice hotel up there the night before I might even get some action! Lady parts and cars, the makings of a good weekend!!!
