OBRUT Posted 6January, 2018 Report Share Posted 6January, 2018 2 hours ago, Okrasa Kid said: Helpful advice..............maybe Rennsport in September is a better alternative? Rennsport is a good car show, mainly due to the numbers and quality of cars present. Lots of vendor stands too However, don’t expect exciting racing.

Was going to bid on a CA car today which would have timed nicely but the price flew past my range and kept on charging. Uber for me I thinks. turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 16March, 2018 Report Share Posted 16March, 2018 Sounds like fun Tom, but I am going to cook a contest in Perth that weekend. I am interested to see your feedback post event, and whether you think its worth making the trip for solely! Rennsport is every 3 years so it could be a good "filler" event!

Got 4 days of Porsche fun packed fun mate. I’ve been able to curate my own event with Luft as the bonus package at the end. PCA also have a big race meet that weekend so will likely go check this out so I get to see some track stuff too. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of interesting cars and way cheaper usually than regular rental cars. I had a Maserati for a week at the cost of a large sedan from Budget or similar.

Might see you there... I’m planning to be in LA late April to do final set up and test of my new car and getting out toi Willow on a Wednesday. So if the timing works out ill plan trip to overlap the POC/PCA race weekend and Luft. turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to do, what to do... will the Friday night at the Peterson be worth it? definitely. Looks like a few of us will be there - meeting up there with an English dude who is VP of Opps at Singer. Promised us a Singer tour beforehand. My next challenge is to convince Magnus that he really should let us loose in his garage for a drive up the ACH the day afterwards...

I signed up and picked up a $200,000 car in under 25mins. Just keep an eye on allowed miles. Some charge for going over.n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
