Is this the Porsche club thingy???? Are they still in business? The rs day wasn't much, when I say wasn't much I mean that it may as well been run by a normal track day company. The track photos never appeared anywhere and the site is non existent

[jackwood]

No. This is an MSV day in association with GTPorsche magazine and billed as Porsche only.

I'm hoping to do this but got a few last minute things to do to the car tomorrow.
Hopefully see you there

Having just worked three days there at Carfest I'll be on the instructing crew tomorrow, doubt they'll let me take my Cayman out though

ETA, pretty sure they still have a few spaces left for any last-minuters.

Weather looking perfect for tomorrow.

Car cleaned, splitter re-attached, and ready to go.

I'll get some vids up tomorrow.

Fantastic day yesterday. Quite a decent Porsche turnout. Even got to meet some bloke called Ted in his lovely 996GT3RS! (P.S. I know who he is now )



Very nice pair of Speed Yellow 996.1 GT3 Clubsport and GT2 Clubsport



And this lovely looking thing. The blue one was ok too...



Track was very quiet for most of the day. Only a couple of minor stoppages, and most importantly, no rain.

My car felt fantastic. Loving the Trofeo tyres and the current geo. Probably too much oversteer in the setup for a lot of people, but I thought it was great fun. Never had to apply opposite lock in Shell Oils before. All my previous cars always struggled to get down to the apex for this one. No issues with this setup though. Completely in love with it.

Roll on the next one.

Good to meet you Jack.

I had a cracking day too. My first time driving at Oulton and it was absolutely fabulous. I haven't had this much fun on track in a long time.

Excellent day on an excellent track! First time there, was a little bit wary when I started out, but picked up speed as the day progressed - well, as much speed as 160bhp will allow. As always, a real pleasure to see some lovely cars out.

There's some great photos, so please let's just enjoy them and not get up in arms about the lack of 924 content :P

There is another Porsche day at Oulton later in the year...
