Do you also have to be registered in the PCGB Hillclimb Championship or is the invitation class totally separate which any suitably equipped and licensed (PCGB member) Porsche driver can enter?

No need to register ,its a invitation class,run what you want as long as its a porsche.

Prescott press release.
Get your entries in for the invite class,just a standard road car is good fun and challenging.

Porsche at Prescott
Saturday 22 June 2019

Porsche at Prescott is a brand-new event taking place at Prescott Hill Climb (Home of the Bugatti Owners’ Club) on Saturday 22 June 2019. The event which was proposed by competitors in the Porsche Hillclimb championship will pay homage to the iconic German marque and is actively supported by the Bugatti Owners Club, Porsche Centre Tewkesbury and Porsche Club GB.
As part of the Porsche Club National Hillclimb Championship a full field of 35 Porsches including two previous Porsche Hillclimb champions will be competing at the UK’s most famous hillclimb courses, from air-cooled classics to the latest mid-engined models with transaxles thrown into the mix for good measure.

The paddock will also be graced with a mouth-watering display of iconic Porsches such as the iconic 956/007 Group C sports-prototype racing car designed by Norbert Singer and built by Porsche in 1982 for the FIA World Sportscar Championship as raced by Derek Bell and Stefan Bellof. In 1983, Bellof set the fastest record at Nürburgring (12.93 mi) in 6:11 during the qualifying of the 1000 km Sports Car race, a record which stood for a staggering 35 years.

Other fantastic examples of Stuttgart power include the 1973, Porsche 911 2.8 RSR previously owned by ex-world rally champion and racer Bjorn Waldegard. This car is one of only 55 factory race cars and has an extensive race history. Another rare example of the marque is the 2009, Porsche 997 4.0 RSR. This car is one of only 20 cars built. The car has competed 5 times at Le Mans, and in 29 FIA World Endurance (WEC) races and was semi-works supported with factory drivers.

As well as Championship and invitational Classes for Porsches, the event will see the welcome return of the MAC Sunrise, SBD/HSA Speed, Midland Speed Championships along with a round of Prescott’s New Barn 'B' Licence Roadgoing Championship.

Off track, the Orchard zone will showcase a large gathering of high-performance Porsche sports cars, SUVs and sedans representing all eras of the brand. Plus guaranteed to bring a lot of hand clapping, thigh slapping fun to Porsche at Prescott will be The Bierkeller Boys Oompah Band, the lederhosen clad trio have performed for the likes of Ant & Dec, Stephen Mulhern, Dermot O’Leary, Keith Lemon and Vernon Kay. You can grab a beer or Prescott ale from the clubhouse and soak up the marvellous atmosphere, stunning views and top class racing at one of the oldest hillclimbs in the world - herrlich!

Excellent moment that - nearly killed the two chaps sitting to my right with the resultant explosion! They jumped in perfect unisen, and then had an uncomfortable laugh about it afterwards

We all let-out the same "Woah!"

Amazing machine.

Thank you,i made a event photographer drop his camera at shelsley walsh hillclimb the other week also,also now destroyed a lambda sensor!

[Yellow491]

Thanks both,it goes well for a light old girl,thats the car not the driver, it 3mph faster than the latest and greatest gt3rs to the bridge from a standing start,but i suppose it is half a ton lighter
Lamda already sorted,and repositioned.

Is that the same car Digga and myself had laps at Oulton Park a few months ago ?..It doesn't surprise me its quicker the the latest as it corners like its on rails even in the pouring rain..You and that car are in perfect harmony together and a total joy to be a passenger in..

No,you were in the genuine rsr at oulton,the hillclimberis a lot faster with even more lateral grip.
Rsr your only jealous on my size,be great to see you at prescott.
I have asked the question and will come back on the 2 4 1 etc

[Yellow491]

The 2 4 1 is still available through prescott,but the offer is only for pcgb members

Be great to see the gt3rs on the hill,best part of the car is the front discs your top team manager fitted at daytona while the arrive and drive driver gracefully sat down to observe with great moral support

[Yellow491]

The Yellow Peril looked and sounded awesome on Sunday Paul, it made the 997 Cups look positively pedestrian.
Stunning weather at Prescott, a perfect day’s motorsport spectating

Thanks,the car was on fire,broke record for modified prod class only to have it taken again by the 650bhp mitsi evo monkey car.
I did catch sight of you,but did not see you again,great weekend.
