Skidmarks Posted 28September, 2021 Report Share Posted 28September, 2021 This one deserves a new thread. The plan? Cars and Cabernet but lots more cars and other stuff. Why? Why not? Yes, its a weekend to race, but only how you want to. You don’t have to race, you can come, display, look. The journey there can be as good as what you’ll be a part of when you get there. STUTT’FEST 2022 The Event THis is a motoring festival of all things Porsche. Importantly though, this is an event created and delivered by Porsche enthusiasts for all those who share a passion, be that experienced racers, club sprint competitors, daily drivers or advocates of the marque. It’s an opportunity to compete, get plenty of track time, display historic legends or just simply enjoy the spectacle in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere of camaraderie. This is an event we can all look forward to after a tumultuous last 2 years, lifting our collective spirits and reinforcing friendships, creating new ones and making connections we can all look forward to renewing in the years to come. Now let’s face it, we’re talking Porschephiles here! So, the on-track activities will be serious, and will cater for all levels of experience and motivations but the underlying element that is the DNA of this event is relaxed fun. BUT - you won’t need a black tie or cocktail dress for this weekend, just bring your casual clothes, your gear and your sense of humour. Packing list should start with 4 pairs of undergarments, 4 T shirts, 2 pairs of shorts (one “dress”) one pair shoes. Not sure there’s a lot left actually … For those not donning a helmet for the track there will be a multitude of Porsche related special vehicles, trade displays and other activities to keep everyone engaged. The inaugural 2022 STUTT’FEST will run over 3 days at Winton Raceway in Victoria in mid January 2022 and has already attracted solid commitment from a wide range of key stakeholders. STUTT’FEST 2022 The Delivery The team behind STUTT’FEST have a solid track record in delivering successful motoring events Australia wide. Most relevantly being Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge and functionally Formula 1, V8 Supercars, Bathurst 12 Hour, Porsche Carrera Cup Australia and much more. The combination of track, event promotion and event delivery experience as a core management team ensures every aspect of execution has been well considered. The depth of current experience in motor racing specifically with Porsche, track management and its related industries is significant and broad. Jodi Zylstra Event Director Sven Burchartz (Skidmarks) Management and Legal Steven Kepper Marketing & Communications Terry Knight Event Management Richard Craill Broadcast & Social Media Chris Lewis Williams Winton Raceway Management Prue Payne Winton Raceway Management STUTT’FEST 2022 What’s Happening At The Event On-track As we are celebrating all things Porsche, consideration has been given to the various groupings for on-track competition activities that not only captures the brand, but also keeps in mind relevant motor sport regulations around licensing, scrutineering and speed differentials. To ensure that there is a fair representation of the marque entries will be open for the following:- • 944’s • IROC compliant vehicles • Race cars - if it’s got a log book and doesn’t fit in the other categories, this is the place! Will have some very tasty cars and a very diverse field • GT3 Cup cars from 996 through to 991 Cup cars • Classic Race Cars In order to especially cater for road registered models for those wanting some track time, there’s a way to participate in an InterClub Challenge (think state of origin) by way of a Regularity style event. You set your time, and drive to it, or if you’re like me, don’t and bust out laps! It’s likely that there will be a couple of fields to make sure cars and driver of similar pace are out at the same time. Final on-track groupings will be subject to entries, however, if it is a Porsche and you want to run it, we will find a place for it! Also, the day before formal festivities begin will be a entrants only practice day where you can blow out the cobwebs and dial in the fun. Off-track Off-track there will be a show’n’shine, fine food and various displays....but most importantly good wholesome fun with like-minded people We’ve built a holding site where you can go and register your interest and when entries open formally, you’ll be contacted. So, head to stuttfest.com.au You’ll also see things through Facebook and Instagram. This event will be one that happens every year and will also be able to go to other states. I hope it’s something that floats your boat. Not quite the track day I was looking at but I thought, its been a while since there was a Porsche event that revolved around motorsport heritage so, rather tha wait for other, I decided I’d have a crack … I’m either going to take a bath or be a visionary … Hope to see you there. Stay tuned … James P, Classic Wheels Australia, Mike-S and 16 others 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told there is an area family re-union on the same weekend (how dare they!!!) so the sooner you book the more likely you'll get something closer to Winton spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
