Peter 996 Posted 8January, 2021 Report Share Posted 8January, 2021 i was thinking about the other way through Lilydale, Yea, Mansfield through to Winton, leaving at about 5.30am. Leaving from Glen Iris, thought i might a well take in a few twisty roads on the way up instead of the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 9January, 2021 Report Share Posted 9January, 2021 Awesome day spectating albeit damn hot. Thanks @Skidmarks for the IROC TCM hot laps. I’d never ridden in an old air cooled 911 so why not start with a 410hp/920kg race car 😂 Shit video, I was focussed on keeping my head up. But the noise....😍. Grip and braking were phenomenal and Sven knows how to pedal it hard. 🙏 IMG_6904.MOV MFX, polorot, Arne Krix and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 9January, 2021 Report Share Posted 9January, 2021 Today was my first day at a PFA event for a while. There were a lot of new (to me) faces and a few familiar. It was great to catch up.

Arne Krix Posted 9January, 2021 Report Share Posted 9January, 2021 40 minutes ago, LeeM said: How many cars all up? Well , there are 20 garages in Winton , each catering for 2 cars, some exhibition cars , some guys brought more than just 1 car. Probably around 40 cars driving and a good number of spectator cars , maybe about 20 cars. A fantastic day we had , massive thank you to Sven , Hugh , Robert and crew from Brighton Porsche and everybody else involved in making this happen . Massive turn out , very well organised . Everybody on the track was very courteous and supportive of each other . Amazing to think that the large variety of P cars in terms of HP , Stock cars, track dedicated cars , Cup cars , were all able to coexist and enjoy the track. Hugh did plan it out beautifully, everything was easy , straight forward, no stress. Big shout out for the North Eastern Hotel , 15 people had confirmed for Dinner Friday night , 30 of us rocked up , they accommodated us with no fuss , food and drinks happening fast , friendly service and great food . Please leave positive reviews for them. It was great to catch up with familiar faces as well as meeting new people and their great cars. I am sure more detailed reports and photos will follow over the next few days . We had a ball , could this become an annual event?😁 Rick V, Stepo, tomo and 8 others 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt 'sea sick' after the first session , Mark ( Grimmy) blamed it on the amount of Shiraz , consumed the previous night. In fact , the G- forces triggered my pre existing Vertigo. The following sessions made it worse of course , the drive back home was epic , my son Lenny asleep on the passenger seat , me driving , covering one eye with one hand , to reduce the spinning in my head.

I used to have to lie on my back on the cold concrete after each session to get myself right and avoid 🤮. It’s been a few years so I was a bit concerned I might get crook in Sven’s orange beast but took the punt and for some reason I was fine despite the big lateral grip and heat. My wife has suggested a few times I should give up Motorsport and take up golf.....🤔😂 Arne Krix, firstone and Stepo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Left home at 4.30am, got back at 7.30pm and know how tired I was without the track driving element! Great day out though, huge fun as a passenger and I had nothing to do with Nick Diggens spinning 😂 Stepo, Arne Krix and polorot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmy Posted 10January, 2021 Report Share Posted 10January, 2021 Some Photo's Apparently someone failed to read the Porsche only sign @ Maccas Lilydale. Bit of a traffic Jam Roberts simply stunning Manthey Racing GT4 Clubsport Some machines look fast standing still Little trailer and a couple of tins of juice @Arne Krix punting hard 996 Turbo looked stunning in red Father of the year award to @Arne Krix for letting Lenny out to play. He said he was going for a couple of laps and would come back in. After 20 minutes and the end of he's session returns to say was that really 20 minutes felt like 5 !!!1 well done and he's laps got quicker each rotation. Great to see @hugh out hard charging in the RS after all the amazing work he put in throughout the morning. The note that engine makes on full song is stellar. The colour changing tricks this little chameleon does is mesmerising, what a stunner. In fact all the highly represented 996's looked the part. Some magnificent Air Cooled machines out pushing hard. One more of the GT4 Clubsport MR because well you could never have enough. And a nice stay Saturday night at an Air B&B on the way back with my significantly better half rounded out a perfect couple of days. Thank you to @Skidmarks for the vision @hugh for the organising and getting it all together on the day, your a natural mate. @Arne Krix for the call to drive up on Friday arvo and arranging the booking at the Northo. We ended up completely overrunning that place and they handled it like champions, and none of of got booted out despite how hard we tried And thank you to everyone else for making it a great social weekend with like minded enthusiasts 4 hours ago, Arne Krix said: Shiraz was fine , not so sure about the Scotch afterwards...
