DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I know this is slightly off the point but here goes :- Sometime ago an idea was floated of having trackday Porsches and the likes at a F1 track in southern Europe for hire, storage etc, fly out in winter 1 to 2 track sessions and fly home, rent or your use your own car which is kept in storage , re...

I'm in and the Mrs too. Just need to ask permission now!

Any change there are still some places on the parade laps from Porsche Club France? Is there a link / number?

I'm looking over the options. What is a paddock pass? Is that a pit lane pass so you get to see up close all the cars?

Thanks that prompted me to buy a membership and message sent to Bootsy

I thought about going to this. Am I too late to organise it? What is involved? I must admit I'm not sure keen on camp but maybe Mrs B would be keen too.

All you have to do is a little lift after the corner to let faster guys go by where there is loads of space. The thing that is impolite is to be slow round the corners with someone behind and then blast down the straight at turbo-nutter-barge top speed to stop the other car going by. Staying on lin...

Thanks I'm so new to this that I have to ask does that mean on track we are all driving on the over side of the road? European / US driving style? You should be using the racing line! I have always found getting instruction very helpful (I still do). Well worth getting some early on. Graham Sure bu...

Apologies I don't know some of these cars/acronyms! SLS, 8C, 4C R8 (Audi?) CCW or C&SC?

can't speak for uk "porsche days", but in general overtaking is not allowed through corners on uk trackdays. overtaking is done to the left and on the straights only. as long as you're mindful of faster cars and move out of their way, the faster drivers don't have a problem with slower ca...

I'm thinking of taking my 912 or 356 along to the Brands Hatch Porsche Club Track day. I've only ever been on a track once before using a red letter day thing. Couple of laps in a 3 series than some laps in a single seater. At Brands Hatch too. Pretty interesting circuit from what I remember. It sou...

You are not wrong!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/9058922/Classic-cars-a-viable-alternative-investment.html Interesting but not much depth in this article. I partly bought my 356 as an alternative to my stock pension. Which have gone sideways for the 16 years I have been working (dotCom a...

Thanks I'm starting lean towards Silverstone because it's need to my base in Northamtonshire and is on the Saturday too which generally suit me better.

I believe it's a still a 6v. It just accorded to me that I need to change the lap seat belts. I'm sure some think they are cool but safety first for me.

Sorry I don't have any info on the wing mirror but I'm seem it on some outlaws. Although I'm not sure that this is intended to be one. Did I mention it was a Harry Pellow engine so should run well
