CarreraG50 Posted 11August, 2014 Report Share Posted 11August, 2014 OK right from the get go, I don't want to organise this, so CRANKY pants on straight away. Is there any interest in a group of us heading down for the 2015 Historic's at PI. http://www.vhrr.com/phillip_island.htm In the past I have gone down with a non PORSCHE group of friends, it really is a top weekend away. The plan would be to fly down on Friday (you will be given a time you must be at Melbourne airport by) Hire a car, drive to PI in time to catch Friday arve's racing. Attend the racing Saturday/Sunday Depart PI Monday morning, travel back to Melbourne airport. The accommodation will be a cabin, all bed linen is supplied. WAY before we go, you WILL be required to PAY your share of the accommodation and car hire. THIS WILL BE NON REFUNDABLE if you pull out. Once the deposits are paid, that's it, your money is GONE. So make sure you have swmbo permission and can get Friday-->Monday off work. (Look this may seem harsh, but the guy that organises this for the other group has been left out of pocket, as people pull out at the last minute, I'm sorry your dog/duck/ferret died the day before we leave, but you are NOT getting your money back) As mentioned I have done this trip quite a few times and the whole weekend usually costs less than $500, including airfares, alcohol, car hire,scotch, accom, beers, Track entry, booze, food, whiskey. There will be two rules -: No drinking at the track (we are there for the racing). Plenty of the drinking after hours. There is lots of other things to sort out, but lets see if there is any interest. As mentioned, I really don't want to be the responsible adult in all this, so if any one else wants to step up, be my guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatSix Posted 11August, 2014 Report Share Posted 11August, 2014 I will make the call. Oh and I should be good to join you, will just have to check my calendar (ie my better half)to make sure I don't have anything locked in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 18August, 2014 Report Share Posted 18August, 2014 How many more do we need? I might invite a guy from work if we need to get numbers up (he's an Improved Production racing guy who's done PI a few times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarreraG50 Posted 19August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 19August, 2014 The Cabin sleeps six (kinda) 1X Double bed, 4 X bunks, 1 X couch/bed thingo. However the car only takes 5(squashy) In the past we have found its cheaper to hire 2 X small cars, than 1X people mover. So ideally I think multiples of 4 (5 at most). In other words we need 4(5) or 8(10) humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarreraG50 Posted 20October, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 20October, 2014 Folk's I know it's not till March next year, but if we don't organise accommodation soon we WILL miss out. This is a very popular well attended event, and there is only limited accom on PI. If you are keen you need to commit NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 22October, 2014 Report Share Posted 22October, 2014 I have a client who has a rather large holiday house on the island, 2 min down the road from the track. I've just given him a call and asked if he would be interested in renting it out to a bunch of well mannered & mature Porsche owners for the weekend - he is going to discuss it with his minister of control and will let me know............. Thought it was worth asking, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
