Welcome to the second issue of Porsche Parade for 2023.

Our cover story for this issue is the 2024 718 Spyder RS, the meanest Boxster variant to date. This beast is packing a 4.0-litre flat-six engine borrowed straight from the almighty 911 GT3 and 718 Cayman GT4 RS, and it’s an all-natural symphony of power.

Rumor had it that a GT4 RS counterpart was in the works, and now Porsche has confirmed it. While the Spyder RS maintains its droptop allure, there are a few key differences, though Porsche assures us that the powertrain remains unchanged. The 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine screams all the way up to 9000 rpm, delivering a mind-blowing 493 horsepower and 449 newton-meters of torque. That’s an impressive 79-hp advantage over the already potent 718 Spyder.

Staying true to the RS lineage, the Spyder RS will only be available with Porsche’s seven-speed PDK automatic transmission. The gear ratios have been shortened to improve acceleration, and Porsche claims a 0-100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds, but we suspect it’s a conservative estimate.

The chassis of the Spyder RS combines elements from the Cayman GT4 RS and the 718 Spyder. It comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management, sport calibration, and a lowered ride height of 3 centimetres. The rear is equipped with a mechanical limited-slip differential, ball-jointed suspension mountings, and 20-inch centre locking forged alloy wheels. Compared to the GT4 RS, the spring and damper rates have been softened for a more relaxed, convertible-style setup.

The front end of the RS closely resembles the GT4 RS, albeit with a slightly shorter carbonfibre-reinforced plastic splitter to compensate for the lack of a rear wing. Instead, an enlarged and reshaped ducktail spoiler provides rear downforce. For those seeking further weight savings, the optional Weissach package is available. It includes carbon-fibre replacements for the front hood, door mirror caps, upper and lower side air intakes, and the Gurney flap on the ducktail. The Weissach package also offers a titanium exhaust system inspired by the limited-edition 935 from 2018.

As an RS model, weight reduction was a top priority for Porsche. The interior handles have been replaced with fabric door straps, and when the weather allows for open-top driving, the soft top must be manually lowered. In such cases, the driver must exit the vehicle and secure the top in place. The entire soft top weighs just over 18 kilograms, shedding 7 kilograms compared to the standard Spyder.

The Porsche 2024 718 Spyder RS is a heavyweight performer that embraces its lightweight philosophy. It’s a testament to Porsche’s engineering prowess, delivering an unrivaled driving experience that will leave you exhilarated and craving for more. Enjoy the full report on page 27.

A big thanks to everyone who contributed to this issue.

And remember, it’s not how fast you’re going but how fast it feels you’re going that counts!

President’s Report

Welcome to the latest issue of Porsche Parade.

The Club continues to deliver a substantial program of events. I have just returned from Essendon Fields, seeing off the Women’s run to Romsey. This is the second Women’s Run by the Club and pleasingly was organised by two first timers.

Together, the Wine and Food Appreciation Dinners, and the Taycan Register, and the Women’s Run reflect broadening range of activities being offered by the Club. The Club Committees are always open to new ideas for different types of events.

I congratulate everyone involved in organising the recent competition event at The Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend, South Australia. Travelling interstate for competition points is not something that the Club has done in recent years. The Bend is a world-class facility and adds another dimension to our Competition Program.

I had the opportunity to speak at the dinner on the night of the event, and I thanked Andrew Smith (Competition Director) and members of the Competition Committee for their courage in proposing and then organising the event. By running the event in conjunction with the Marque Sports Car Association of Victoria, the Club is able to offer a double header weekend at this magnificent venue for those interested.

During my time as President, there have been many happy and positive events, and there have also been moments of sadness and reflection. Elsewhere in this magazine, you will read of the passing of long-time member and former Treasurer Vin Jacono. In very recent news the Club is saddened by the passing of former President Jeff Thomas. My sincere condolences to their friends and families.

In news from Porsche, last weekend saw the celebration of 75 years of Porsche. Along with Porsche Centres worldwide, Brighton, Doncaster, and Melbourne each offered the opportunity to attend the dealerships to join them in the celebrations. From all reports a wonderful time was had by those who were able to take part.

I am continually in awe of the work of our volunteers, who power the activities of the Club. If you feel that you can assist, please make yourself known to me, or to Competition Director Andrew Smith, or Social Director Clyde White.

I look forward to seeing you tableside, trackside, at a club night or at another Porsche Club of Victoria event very soon.

Social Reflections

Welcome to Social Reflections. Wow, it’s already June, and the first half of the year has flown by too quickly. Maybe the busy social calendar has contributed to the interesting events that were hopefully enjoyed by all.

Since my March Reflections, the Social Committee has worked hard to organise eight events, including dinners, technical nights, club nights, and a defensive driving course.

Our first event in March was the Fine Food Wine Appreciation Night, held in a private dining room at the RACV City Club. The night celebrated Victoria through food and wine. An intimate group of 30 members enjoyed the evening, starting with canapés and sparkling wine, followed by three courses paired with fine wine. The survey responses from the attending members reflected that everyone had an enjoyable night.

The Club Night at Porsche Centre Doncaster focused on all things electric, with two highly experienced technicians from Porsche Cars Australia and Porsche Centre Doncaster providing our members with great insights into Taycans. Porsche Centre Doncaster generously offered a door prize—a Taycan for the weekend. The recipient was so excited that I thought she might have mistaken it for a permanent gift instead of a weekend experience.

The Grand Tour was, as always, a success. Alison Belot, Allan, and Kerry Hines did a marvelous job organising the event. Unfortunately, on the last day, COVID-19 affected a number of attendees, preventing some from joining the celebratory final dinner. However, the survey responses from the attendees once again expressed gratitude for a fantastic trip and eager anticipation for the next one.

I’m eagerly looking forward to our Club Night at Porsche Centre Brighton. Our guest presenter, Chris Lennon, is a two-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb class winner and author of the book “The Peak of Racing.” With Chris, along with good food, wine, a great venue, and the company of our fellow members, the night promises to be memorable.

In my search for new venues to use for Club events, I discovered Young Timers Garage in Keysborough.

I’ve decided to put a twist on the next Club Night in August and change it to a Club Morning! The Club Morning, which is currently in the planning stage, will take place on August 27

and will focus on socializing. The morning will start at 8:30 or 9 am, and members will be served breakfast, coffee, tea, and juice. We encourage all members to bring out their best Porsche from the garage and showcase their pride and joy to fellow members. The display will be informal, rather than formal, because of parking restrictions at dealerships. Fortunately, the venue can accommodate over 200 cars with ample parking space.

We will use Young Timers Garage as the venue. The owner has four factories next to each other, two of which are showrooms. One factory houses racing simulators, which will be available for members to race against each other on the Phillip Island or Bathurst circuit. The last factory stores Carrera Cup Cars, which will be open for viewing. The parking area is located in front of the factories, and there is a massive wall facing the showroom adorned with a mural depicting current F1 drivers.

I have included a couple of photos of the venue and the available cars for sale to pique your interest.

Feel free to explore and search for Young Timers Garage on Google. While there are some excellent cars for sale, please note that the showroom is only open by appointment.

On the morning of the event, Rusty French will be bringing a couple of his treasures from his collection.

As always, I encourage members to reach out to me and share their thoughts on the social events we have organised or suggest events for the Social Committee to explore. All your ideas are welcome.

Clyde White Social Director

Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this overview of the Competition season so far.

Since the last Porsche Parade issue, the Competition group have been extremely busy with their track calendar and have had 4 events.

Let’s take a quick overview as there are individual reports with details and results further on in this edition.

Firstly, back in early March an intrepid group ventured down to Gippsland to the iconic little hillclimb circuit called Haunted Hills, located just outside Moe. The venue can be configured into 3 separate tracks with each competitor given 3 runs on each configuration. The best time on each of the tracks is then used and combined for an overall individual result. Adam Stafford had his car dialled in and was quickest on the day. The weather Gods were on our side and it was a fine and warm day for all competitors, which is not always the case at Haunted Hills. For all results and photos please see the full report.

With just a two week turnaround from Haunted Hills, our next event was the prestigious PCV Sandown 360 Regularity. This event is open to members of all car clubs in Victoria and beyond. In fact the winners over the last 2 years have been from Bathurst in NSW. This team event is where each driver nominates a lap time, and then points are issued for each lap where the driver is either too fast or too slow against their nominated time. At the end of the day, the team with the LEAST amount of points is the winner. Whilst numbers were slightly down this year, primarily due to the fact that the MG Car Club quite late in the piece decided to hold a club event on the same day, thus taking around 6 teams out of our day. The day itself was a cool and overcast day, but the rain held off. All in all it was another successful event and full credit must go to Andrew Bonwick who almost single handedly organises and runs this event.

From Pit Lane

After a much needed break for Easter, our next event was 2 ½ hours up the Hume Highway to Winton Motor Raceway. Unfortunately I had a miscommunication with the bloke organising the weather and consequently heavy overnight rain had left the track quite wet on our arrival. All the Cup cars were seen up on their jacks putting on the wet tyres and they were certainly required. With showers occurring on and off during the day it was almost wet all day. However there was a slight reprieve over the lunch break where the clouds parted and some rays of the golden stuff bathed the track, just enough for those Cup Car drivers to again switch tyres for their slicks and those in group 1 to essentially get the only dry run of the day. Just as they finished, the heavens opened again and it was back to wet weather racing. Credit must go to all drivers, as there were only a few recoveries for the day which, considering the conditions was exceptional. Andy Hall on his slick tyres in that 1 dry session clocked the fastest time of the day with a quick 1:25.947, a couple of seconds ahead of Stefan in his 991 GT3RS.

Our next event in late May was back at the beautiful little track at Broadford. This time I had my communications with the powers that be in place and the weather was perfect, cool but dry. As per our event earlier in the year the witches hats were out to stops us from venturing too far off the track and a few penalties were handed out to those who got a little bit too corner greedy. We were almost at our capacity at Broadford which shows how much our members like coming here. Daniel Reynolds lost a headlight on his warm up lap which caused a red flag whilst it was retrieved and Bill Toohey had a little excursion which is explained in a bit more detail in the event report. Daniel Reynolds and Stefan were the only 2 drivers to break the magical minute barrier with a 58 and a 59 respectively.

And so I’ve saved the best ‘til last……………..

For our most recent event, for the first time in a long time, we ventured interstate for a full competition event for full competition points…………… 46 fully paid up members

(although there were a couple of late withdrawals) headed west, over the border into South Australia to what has to now be the most iconic permanent race track in Australia. The Bend Motorsport Park situated just a few k’s east of Tailem Bend, I think has now become, well according to all of the Survey Monkey reviews, a new favourite for our members. Not only is the 18 turn, 4.95k International track a sublime piece of raceway, combine that with a 5 star Rydges Hotel situated right above the pit lane garages on the main straight, this facility has everything a club racer could ever hope for.

Our weekend was a culmination of a lot of work with the MSCA car club especially Bruce and Petrina Astbury, who shared the weekend with us, thus making this a financially viable way to make this happen.

After most of our members arrived on the Friday night, Saturday dawned with a fine and mild day, which was a bit strange to be walking around in a t-shirt on the first weekend of Winter. After a quick briefing we were up and going on the track by 8.35am, as there are no noise restrictions there! As mentioned above we were sharing the day with MSCA so we had 2 groups (2 & 4) and they had 3 (1, 3 and 5). This worked really well as there was time for our members who were sharing cars to do the quick change-over (well done to Pete and Nat Jordan). I won’t go into too much detail here, I’ll leave that for those esteemed members who so kindly “volunteered” to write the article. But what I will say, is that I have already had numerous members who entered this year contact me and ask when we are scheduling the event again for 2024.

Just a little teaser………………….. It’s already in the pipeline!!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to seeing you at our next event at Sandown on July 9.

Until then, that’s all From Pit Lane

Andrew Smith Competion Director

Vale: Vin Jacono

Vin Jacono, was on the steering committee of our club, a foundation member, Treasurer for four years and then later PCV Auditor for many years. He died recently, aged 87.

In 2017, Vin gave into his desire to own a 993, buying a fine 1995 example, which added to his garage of Porsches. In that garage is a one-owner white 1970 2.2 litre 911, which he picked up at the factory in Stuttgart, drove for two years and then shipped home. In addition, there is an orange 1971 2.2 litre 911,

Australian delivery, which he bought locally from its first owner in the early seventies.

Vin loved Porsches, and he had history with sports cars and competition before that. Before the Porsches there was an MGA and a TR4, both cars that young men loved before Porsches appeared on our roads. In the 1960s, Vin was a member of the Triumph Sports Owners Association, which was a very active car club already. Vin and his best mate, Kerry Reynolds (PCV President 1978)

were committee members of that club, and their joint experience in putting together competition events for the TSOA was important in establishing the sporting reputation of our PCV. They were both very competitive and keen to have good Porsche events to participate in.

Vin dropped out of motor sport, but kept his passion for the marque, enjoying the thrill of those air-cooled flat 6’s through to the end.

Technical Night at

Wednesday 22nd March

Story by Werner Engel

This event was well attended by around 30 people including a few blow-ins. It would be nice if everyone came through the club booking system so that organisers were better prepared.

Food for the night was pre-ordered and delivered nice and hot from The Naked Racer café around the corner. NineAuto provided beer in addition to our food which was much appreciated.

All attendees had the opportunity to mix with the owners and mechanics from NineAuto and seemed to enjoy their interaction.

A fully restored 356 was brought into the workshop for attendees to admire as well as some cars on lifts for viewing from below. Dean Sammut from Evolve Driver Training gave a brief insight into their operation as well during the night.

The mood of the evening was relaxed, possibly too relaxed as the formal question and answer at the end was deleted, only to find out later that this was the main reason many attended. Unfortunately, I was so busy organising food and welcoming new arrivals on my own that I should have asked for assistance, a lesson we all need to heed when running these shows.

PCV Go Karts

A Thrilling Night of Racing in Challenging Conditions

Thursday 25th May

The PCV Go Kart Challenge took place on a cold, wet night, adding an extra element of excitement and anticipation to the event. As drivers arrived, there was a palpable energy in the air, mixed with a hint of nervousness as the challenging conditions started playing on everyone’s minds.

After a comprehensive safety briefing, teams of two huddled together, discussing their strategies and contemplating who would kick off the race. The first qualifying session commenced, with drivers cautiously navigating the cold, wet track on cold tyres. The lack of grip became evident as karts struggled to find traction, resulting in challenging corner entries and slippery exits.

Undeterred by the conditions, the drivers adapted and showcased their skills, skillfully maneuvering their karts as they aimed to set the fastest lap times. As both qualifying sessions concluded, the grid was set, with team ‘DGR’ securing pole position, closely trailed by ‘Team Poorsche’ and ‘Low Down Bums.’

The race itself was a rollercoaster of action and drama, with drivers fearlessly pushing their limits, attempting daring overtakes on the slippery corners. Off-track excursions became a common sight as drivers tested their mental strength in the face of the endurance-style race.

Following a quick pit stop mid race, the second drivers took to the track for the final push. Their mission was clear: gain as many positions as possible before the checkered flag. In the end,

it was team ‘DGR’ who emerged as the victors, showcasing exceptional skill and determination. ‘Team Cameltoe’ secured an impressive second place, with ‘Di Palmas’ rounding off the podium in a well-deserved third place.

A special mention goes to Ross and Michael from team ‘DGR’ for their outstanding performance, as they both clocked identical fastest lap times of 57.610. Their performance demonstrated the fierce competition and high level of talent present throughout the event.

Congratulations to all the participants for their unwavering enthusiasm and competitive spirit. The PCV Go Kart Challenge was a resounding success despite the challenging weather conditions. We extend our gratitude to everyone involved and eagerly look forward to welcoming familiar faces and new competitors back next year for another thrilling edition of the event.

Club Night - Porsche Centre Doncaster

With Guest Presenter - John Seubert - Senior Technical Trainer for Porsche Cars Australia

Porsche’s development and introduction of the Taycan into their range has to say the least created enormous interest in this new model, but one that has also created numerous questions about how this new technology has been embraced, and is further being developed in Porsche’s model range.

When we were looking for a theme for our April Club Night, it seemed time to put on an EV focused event, so with the help of Porsche Centre Doncaster and support from Porsche Cars Australia our second club night for 2023 took place on Tuesday 18th April at Porsche Centre Doncaster where over one hundred and seventy members and guests attended.

Best to explain all the technicalities around the Porsche EV Range was our Guest Presenter on the night John Seubert – Senior Technical Trainer for Porsche Cars Australia, ably assisted on the night by Peter RechnerPorsche Centre Doncaster Senior Technician & High Voltage Specialist.

John Seubert - Senior Technical Trainer for Porsche Cars Australia

John is responsible for training and certifying Porsche Technicians on highvoltage vehicles such as the Taycan.

One of three High-Voltage Experts within Australia, John has a high level of knowledge and experience in diagnosing and repairing high-voltage systems, and is looking forward to sharing his experience on the Taycan while answering any questions that members may have regarding Porsche’s newest and most exciting addition to the model line-up.

Members and Guests started arriving around 6.30 and after obtaining a drink from the bar, had the opportunity to socialise and catch up with fellow members. At 7.00 pm MC Russell Sturzaker took to the microphone to welcome everyone to our second club night for 2023. Russell also acknowledged Life Member & Past President (2015-16) – Andrew Bonwick, along with another Past PresidentPeter Harrison (2013-14). New Members who had joined the club since our last meeting and were present on the night were also invited to come forward and were welcomed by the meeting.

Alison Belot, Maria Del Gallo, Russell Sturzaker & Lois Saber

Peter Harrison, Harriet & Ken Anson, Jim Adamson

Stephen Lofthouse & Clyde White

Next at 7.00pm dinner was to be served, however our caterers were not quite ready for us so we had to resort to Plan B, and enjoy another 30 minutes of socialising. Not really the way we had the night planned, but we did at least get more time to mix and catch up with friends and staff from PCD. At 7.30pm dinner was finally ready and there was a continuous stream of hungry members and guests taking part in our three choice Asian Noodle Meal put on by The Flying Woks.

Following dinner, Club President – Mark Horton Andrews took to the microphone and welcomed everyone to the meeting, also acknowledging the assistance from Porsche Cars Australia in providing our Guest Presenter - John Seubert, along with the attendance on the night of John Murray – PCA Director of Marketing, Alexandra Wasiewicz – PCA Events Manager and PCA Events Specialist - Lauren McKay. Mark then introduced PCD General Manager (and our host for the night) – Flavio Parletta to the stage.

Flavio welcomed everyone to Porsche Centre Doncaster and after a brief but very interesting introduction to the Porsche Taycan EV Range he invited John Seubert and Peter Rechner to the stage. What followed from John and Peter was thirty minutes of technical expertise from two of the top EV Technicians in Australia. It was fascinating to all present to hear of the technical milestones achieved by Porsche in their development of the Taycan, and this then led into a twenty minute Q&A session where John was asked to provide answers to members technical queries regarding both the Taycan and EV vehicles in general.

Time was soon gone following some hard biting questions, and Social Director Clyde White took to the stage to thank both John and Peter for their very interesting presentation.

Next we had a couple of very special announcements which saw Club President - Mark Horton Andrews on stage to firstly present the Award for Participant of the Year for 2022 to Richard Catchlove. Richard received a Certificate, and also a Voucher to the Value of $2,000 for a set of Yokohama Tyres (incl fitting and balancing) from long time Club Sponsors - Andrew McCathie and the Team at Traction Tyre & Suspension Centre.

PARTICIPANT OF THE YEAR AWARD 2022

This award is available to all PCV members and encourages member participation in a variety of PCV events.

Awarding of Points

Members who fully participate in events conducted as part of the 2022 Calendar were awarded 1 point, including:

- Competitors & Entrée entrants in Motorsport Events

- Marshals, Officials and volunteers in Motorsport Events.

- Participants in Social Events

- Participants in Register Events.

- Participants in the 2022 Annual Dinner

Mark then invited Greg Humphries to the stage, Greg has just stepped down as GT3 / RS Register Captain, and Mark recognised Greg’s work in supporting this role. Mark then asked Ken Anson to join him on stage as Ken has just stood down as the Boxster / Cayman Register Captain, having also previously held the position of Club Register Director. Both Greg and Ken were presented with Porsche 70th Anniversary Plaques in acknowledgement of over 10 years service to PCV.

Next on the agenda was the drawing of our Major Door Prize a Taycan Weekend Drive Experience proudly sponsored by our hosts Porsche Centre Doncaster, and to draw this Clyde invited PCD Marketing Manager – Ozlem Gunduz to join him on stage.

This was won by a “very excited” Celeste Helpenstein. In fact Celeste was so excited and overcome, that PCD General Manager Flavio Parletta, did feel that he should point out to Celeste that the prize was for a weekend drive and that she hadn’t actually won the Taycan !!!

Immediately following our Major Door Prize Draw, Clyde then invited two of our Porsche Cars Australia Guests, PCA Events Specialist - Lauren McKay and PCA Events Manager - Alexandra Wasiewicz to join him on the stage to draw the winners of Five Separate Draws of Taycan Die Cast Models, donated by Porsche Cars Australia. These were won by Irwin Liaw, Stephen Fisher, Mark Campbell, Kon Gogos and Maria Del Gallo.

Following the presentation of door prizes Social Director - Clyde White returned to the stage to perform our thank you’s, firstly

Porsche 718 Spyder RS becomes the pinnacle of the mid-engined family

Thirty years after the presentation of the Boxster concept car, Porsche is launching the most powerful version yet of the popular mid-engined roadster: the new Porsche 718 Spyder RS. For the first time, the high-revving naturally aspirated engine from the 911 GT3 is being deployed in an open-topped mid-engined sports car.

Porsche crowns the 718 mid-engined model line with a sports car designed for maximum driving pleasure: the new 718 Spyder RS is the open-top counterpart to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. For the first time, the 368 kW (500 PS; 718 Spyder RS: Fuel consumption* combined

(WLTP) 13.0 l/100 km, CO emissions* combined (WLTP) 294 g/km,911 GT3: Fuel consumption* combined (WLTP) 12.9 l/100 km, CO emissions* combined (WLTP) 293 g/km) naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer from the 911 GT3 features in an open-topped mid-engined sports car. The same lightweight power unit with its high-revving design also powers the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racing car. The exceptionally lightweight and purist-pleasing manual soft-top roof of the 718 Spyder RS makes the highly evocative sound of the engine an even more compelling experience. The effect is further heightened by the standard lightweight stainless steel sports exhaust system and the distinctive process air inlets on the sides behind the headrests.

High-revving naturally aspirated engine and resolutely lightweight construction

The powertrain of the new 718 Spyder RS is identical to that of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS coupe. The six-cylinder boxer engine, with its cylinder displacement of 4.0 litres, revs up to 9,000 rpm and generates an output of 368 kW (500 PS) and maximum torque of 450 Newton metres. Combined with a short-ratio seven-speed PDK transmission, the six-cylinder engine catapults the two-seater roadster from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The car hits the 200-km/h mark in just 10.9 seconds. Compared to the 718 Spyder without the ‘RS’ designation, the new range-topper not only benefits from an additional 59 kW (80 PS), but also accelerates to 100 km/h half a second faster. The top speed is now 308 km/h instead of 300 km/h.

Like every modern RS model, the new 718 Spyder RS is available exclusively with the Porsche dual clutch transmission (PDK). This gearbox shifts through its seven gears at lightning speed and guarantees maximum performance. The gearshift paddles allow drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel even when shifting gears manually. Alternatively, the driver can use the ergonomicallydesigned selector lever on the centre console.

Balanced aerodynamics

The front end of the new Porsche 718 Spyder RS is almost identical to the front end of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The standard front bonnet is made of CFRP and features a wide air outlet above the bumper. The two NACA ducts enhance brake cooling without adversely affecting the Cd value.

Sideblades on the outer ends of the bumper increase downforce. The front spoiler lip is slightly shorter than on the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, which in conjunction with its large rear wing produces higher overall downforce on the Cayman and therefore requires a larger spoiler lip to achieve aerodynamic balance.

Instead of a wing, the 718 Spyder RS features a striking tear-off edge shaped like a ducktail. All aerodynamic components are intricately coordinated. They maintain the car’s aerodynamic balance and ensure maximum driving stabilityat high speeds.

In addition to the more powerful engine, the new model’s lower weight also contributes to better performance: at 1,410 kilograms, the Spyder RS weighs 40 kg less than the 718 Spyder with PDK and is actually five kilograms lighter than the closed 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The Spyder RS represents the latest highwater mark of the model line started in 2016.

“

speedThetopisnow 308km/h instead of 300km/h“

Purist soft-top design

The new 718 Spyder RS comes with a manually operated single-layer lightweight soft-top. The design is amazingly compact, consisting of two parts: a sun sail and a weather deflector. Both are completely removable and can be stowed together or singly in the vehicle. The sun sail alone can also be used as a ‘Bimini top’, thereby protecting the driver and front passenger from intense sunlight. In this case, the passenger compartment remains largely open to the side and behind the passengers. Together with the weather deflector, this creates a complete top that provides effective protection against rain when the side windows are raised. The entire roof, including mechanical parts, weighs just 18.3 kg. That’s 7.6 kg less than the 718 Spyder and 16.5 kg less than in the 718 Boxster. Drivers who wish to shave an additional eight kilograms from the weight of the vehicle can leave the top at home entirely, weather allowing.

Sports suspension of the highest precision and agility

Sports suspension of the highest precision and agility. The chassis of the 718 Spyder RS uses components from the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and the 718 Spyder and is designed for maximum driving pleasure on winding roads. It comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with sports tuning and has been lowered by 30 millimetres. It also features Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical limited-slip

Performancefocused interior

A sporty character defines the inside of the car too: the interior is reduced to the functional and ergonomic essentials. The grippy RS sports steering wheel is covered with Race-Tex and features a yellow 12-o'clock marking. The standard full bucket seats are made of lightweight CFRP in a carbonweave finish and offer particularly impressive lateral support. The seat covers are made of black leather, while the perforated Race-Tex seat centre features a contrasting colour with a black background. The contrasting colours are Arctic Grey or Carmine Red.

A ‘Spyder RS’ logo in the corresponding colour is embroidered on the headrests. The dashboard and trims are covered with leather. Available exterior colours include four plain and three metallic paints, including the new Vanadium Grey Metallic as well as the special colours Arctic Grey, Shark Blue and Ruby Star Neo.

differential, ball-jointed suspension bearings and 20-inch forged aluminium wheels. The behaviour of the chassis is characterised by razor-sharp steering precision, as well as agile and extremely neutral handling. The ride height, camber, track and anti-roll bar can all be adjusted individually. Compared to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, spring and damper rates have been reduced to achieve a more relaxed, characteristically convertible-style set-up.

Optional Weissach Package and

A Weissach Package is also available for the Spyder RS as an option. The exceptionally lightweight, optional forged magnesium wheels can be ordered in combination with this particularly performance focused equipment package. The sports exhaust system tailpipes here are made of titanium. The look is inspired by the limited-edition 935 from 2018. A visual highlight inside the car is the upper part of the dashboard covered with anti-glare Race-Tex. Exclusively available to buyers of the Porsche 718 Spyder RS is a Porsche Design Timepieces handcrafted chronograph – a premium-quality watch from Porsche’s in-house watchmaking operation in Solothurn, Switzerland. Designed to match the configuration of the car, the particularly lightweight case is made of titanium, the dial is made of carbon and the strap is made out of vehicle leather. The rotor on the back echoes the respective wheel rim design on the 718 Spyder RS.

“The 718 Spyder RS raises driving pleasure to a new level for open-top cars,” says Andreas Preuninger, Head of GT Cars. “The combination of our unmistakable GT3 engine, the close-

matching chronograph

ratio transmission, compact dimensions, low weight, road-optimised racing suspension and maximum openness offers an extremely compelling and unfiltered driving experience.”

The new Porsche 718 Spyder RS celebrates its public premiere in June at the festivities marking 75 years of Porsche Sports Cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Shortly afterwards, it will make an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England.

Wet Winton Sprint

Sunday 16th April

See page 64 for competition results

Once again, at Winton, the weather wasn’t on our side, with rain and showers throughout the day. It seemed that every time the track started to dry out there would be just enough rain to make the surface wet again! There were a few periods throughout the day where the track dried out enough for a lucky group or two to be able to push their cars, but a big puddle on the entry to turn four ensured that there were no lap records threatened on the day.

I find it tests your mettle when you’re out on track and it starts to drizzle, but it seems like heavy rain when you’re doing 200kph! You keep telling yourself that the grip level is fine, but it’s very hard to commit!

Despite the challenging conditions, there were still some respectable times achieved. Peter Fitzgerald, in his Cayman S, got the closest of anyone to their class lap record. He posted a 1:31.3 lap, only 1.8 seconds off the Modified 0 record. That was a fantastic result given the conditions!

I was lucky enough to be next closest, 2.2 seconds slower than the GT1 lap record in my GT3RS, followed by Andy Hall in his 991 Cup Car and Andrew Lipman in his Boxster in class B, both 2.9 seconds behind their respective class records. Andrew Lipman also managed to earn more class points than anyone else on the day, so congratulations to Andrew!

The outright win went to Andy Hall, followed by me in second and Peter Fitzgerald in third place.

Sandown 360 Regularity Relay

Sunday 19th March

See page 64 for competition results

Story by Mark Horton Andrews

Photos by Ron Widdison

The 2023 Mobil1 Sandown 360 Regularity Relay was successfully held on Sunday, March 19, 2023. Eighteen teams participated, with four to six drivers on each team. The Club was well represented with eight teams entering. The number of participants was slightly lower this year, partly due to an unintended clash with another event.

In the Regularity format, drivers aim to achieve lap times as close as possible to their self-nominated time. The winning team is the one that averages closest to their target across all drivers. This event rewards consistency, not speed.

Our previous naming rights sponsor decided not to continue, and we were fortunate that SpeedCraft stepped in to support the 2023 event. Competitor numbers were highly visible with their distinctive SpeedCraft printed numbers. More information about SpeedCraft can be found elsewhere in this magazine.

For the past few years, the event has included practice time on Saturday, provided in conjunction with the Marque

Sports Car Association, and this format continued successfully in 2023. By starting on Saturday, competitors enjoyed track entry, registration, vehicle scrutiny, and the ability to set up before the event day.

The Triumph Sports Owners Association deserves special mention. 2023 marks the 100th year of the Triumph marque, and as part of the celebrations, they decided to acknowledge the 360 Regularity as “one of our valued competition events of the calendar year.” Thanks!

After a short practice session in the morning, the event started just before 10:30 am on Sunday behind the Safety Car. Some six hours later, just before 4:30 pm, the radio operator counted down the time for the Officials, marking the end of another great event. Competitors must be commended for their participation. Running for six hours without incident, despite a wide mix of cars and driving experience, was remarkable and provided a very positive experience for all involved.

Congratulations to the Panorama Mountain Men from New South Wales, who backed up their win from 2022. The team, consisting of Stewart Temesvary, Glenn Thomas, Sean Byers, and David Johnson, all driving Mazda MX-5s, has an enviable record in Regularity events. In addition to winning the PCV Sandown 360 twice, they have achieved multiple successes at the Victorian 6 Hour at Phillip Island, the AROCA event at Winton, and the NSW 6 Hour at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Porsche Club of Victoria teams secured the remaining positions on the podium, with Team JAAMP in 2nd place (Anthony Bulloch, Adam Stafford, Joseph Di Benedetto, and Peter Bell) and Team FourPlay (Garry Saber, Phillip Cox, Garry Voges, and Brent Howard) in 3rd place.

The event is a significant undertaking for the Club. We invest considerable effort in its development and promotion and pay close attention to participant feedback. The day is complex because many competitors only run with us once a year at this event, requiring an

expanded marshal and safety team. We make significant efforts to create an enjoyable day.

The Club cannot run the event by itself and continues to enjoy the support of the Victorian Motorsport community. The crew from the Victorian Flagmarshalling Team has brought their trademark no-nonsense professionalism to the event for many years. Representatives from Motorsport Australia, particularly our Chief Scrutineer Drew Wilson and Steward Gale Smith, help keep us on the right track. WAP Motorsport Safety and Emergency Response Services Pty Ltd were present to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being. Kristy Roberts and Darren McKemmish had a hectic day in the timing tower, as did all the Officials in Race Control and Administration.

Pizza Party Hire Mobile Wood Fired Pizza provided nourishment, and Code Black Coffee Roasters supplied essential coffees (thanks Joseph!).

We extend our gratitude to the Mobil1 Sandown 360 Regularity Relay organising committee, including Andrew Bonwick, Grant Stephenson, Andrew Smith, Mark Horton Andrews, and Murray Seymour from Porsche Club Victoria, and Bruce Astbury (MSCA). The PCV team, with significant motorsport experience, has been running the event for over a decade, consistently aiming to deliver a fun, relaxed, and professional experience.

Thanks to the many PCV volunteers who helped with the event, including scrutineering, marshalling, administration, timing, and general support in running the Club!

Former President Andrew Bonwick has been a driving force for this event, and his contribution cannot be overstated. Additionally, after many years, Grant Stephenson has decided to retire from the organising committee. The Club appreciates both of these fine Club members for their contributions.

Finally, we extend our thanks to all who participated, volunteered, and supported the event. We hope to see you back at the next edition in 2024!

MONDAY – DINNER SODAFISH

Harriet & Ken Anson

The first night of the Canberra Grand Tour 2023 began with catching up with old friends in the foyer of the Bellevue, also meeting members who had never been on a club driving tour before. After a brief word from Alison we walked to our dinner destination “Sodafish” on Middle Boat Harbour, The Esplanade. Sodafish began in 2000, it was previously a Raymond Island Ferry, converted into a floating cafe and now shares the wharf with the Lakes Entrance fishing fleet which means there is never a shortage of fresh seafood. Once seated we filled the whole restaurant and further conversations flowed through the room. According to the owner the menu is about showcasing what the region has to offer and supporting the local community – “nostalgic charm meets modern classic” this was evident in the menu selected for the evening.

Our dinner menu for the night was called a “Taste of Sodafish,” with shared plates of

TUESDAY – LAKES ENTRANCE CRUISE

Peter Janusik

We were very lucky to have lovely autumn weather for a 2pm departure on the MV “Seabird” for a 3 hour cruise on the Gippsland lakes. After a little organisation there were plenty of seats inside and we got settled with a drink from the bar, got chatting and enjoyed the view. The cruise passed the Entrance, then into Reeves Channel, Bancroft Bay, around the shores of Metung, shortly after heading off, the crew served our grazing boxes. The selection of assorted cold cuts, cheeses, pickled vegetables, breads, grapes and dried fruits went down well.

After lunch we settled into the cruise, and enjoyed the great atmosphere and camaraderie which was a common theme for the entire grand tour. The weather stayed great and we enjoyed the scenery along the shore and the birdlife - black swans were a real surprise to see. Towards Metung we pulled into a few small bays which were quite picturesque. The lakes have their own colonies of seals and on the way back from Metung we were treated to a short stop where they were enjoying the last of the afternoon sun. At around 5pm we arrived back at the dock - a really enjoyable afternoon.

Grand Tour to Canberra

snacks and starters though the main meal was a choice of two. The snacks in brief were Pambula oysters, Bass Strait scallops from the fishing vessel (fv) Northern Star and Sourdough Pannna di casa from Sodafish. Starters were Whitefish from fv Illana, Cold Smoked Mussels from Mornington and the Cauliflower (Roasted) from Lindenow Flats. The main meal was a selection of either King George Whiting from the fv Smokin Joe or Arrow Squid risotto, the squid from the fv Northern Star. During dinner Alison officially welcomed everyone and discussed the tour mentioning the different places we would be visiting and staying, also the choices of routes to our destinations, the more “leisurely or the adventurous” trip which allowed for a more flexible starting time. At the conclusion of the briefing we were reminded that we were representing the Porsche Club of Victoria and drive according to conditions and adhere to the road rules.

As these scribes were seated at a table at the end of the room we had a great view of the Lakes in the twilight. Later in the evening and during our shared platters we saw a big bright light coming from a large fishing vessel which appeared to be heading for the wharf near us. The fishing vessel stopped turned on two bright reversing lights (do fishing vessels call them reversing lights?) and with ease began to reverse into its allocated berth, it stopped, tied up and turned off all the lights. This whole procedure took approximately fifteen minutes. I have seen people take longer to park a car in a car park. About twenty minutes later another fishing vessel arrived went through the same procedure with the same amount of ease as the previous vessel. It was amazing to see these large fishing vessels “parked” as easily as a car. After our dinner and some more convivial conversation it was time to leave, pay for our drinks on the way out and begin our hundred metre or so walk back to the Bellevue. Next day we were all meeting again for the boat cruise.

WEDNESDAY – DRIVE TO JINDABYNE

Chris & Sandra O’Brien

A Bluebird Day. Not a breath of wind in Lakes Entrance with the water in Cunninghame Arm and the North Arm “pure glass” in the front of and at the rear of the Bellevue Guest House, respectively.

Half a dozen cars took off on the “Adventure Route” up through Bruthen and Buchan, then east past Buchan Station over the Buchan River and the Snowy River Flats into Orbost. The bushland was almost wiped out during the major bushfires Dec 2019 – Jan 2020. Thanks to Mother Nature the beauty of the forests is slowly coming back.

The Drive from Lakes Entrance out from the shadows of the bush through Nowa Nowa on the old Princes Highway into the sunshine past Orbost was a joy to behold, with our first stop, a coffee break at Cann River.

Once known as the Cann Valley Highway, now the Monaro Hwy from Cann River, was just “the ticket” for some enthusiastic Porsche drivers. Once over the Border into NSW the

FRIDAY – DRIVE TO CANBERRA

For those that went via the main roads from Jindabyne to Canberra it was a leisurely drive, with some committed shopping done in Cooma on the way! A small number of hardy souls headed off a little early to take advantage of the windy roads offered in the Kosciuszko National Park. Although there was a lot of low laying fog in the valleys, the road conditions were very clear, albiet a little damp and with a fair covering of leaf matter.

We picked up the Alpine Way on the way out of Jindabyne, heading down past Thredbo (no tobogganing today I’m afraid – that was so much fun the previous day) and on to Khancoban for a quick stop. We did meet up with one challenge on the way, a fallen tree that had just missed the cars ahead of us. A quick call on the radio and a rapid stop and

long downhill straights mixed with sweeping bends provided magnificent views of the Great Dividing Range and “ramsheads” onto the Monaro High Plains through long sweeping high speed bends over Outskirt Creek and Saucy Creek into Bombala.

From Bombala most cars took the “Adventure Route” turning west off the Monaro Hwy at Ando past Jincumbilly to Dalgety on The Snowy River Way. The shearing sheds, tussocks, and long views over the High Plains and way over to the Crackenback Range were magnificent, past Maffra Station having traversed a long section of bitumen sealing roadworks.

Turning right at the corner in front of the Buckley’s Crossing Hotel in Dalgety, west over the historic latticed steel framed Bridge (c.1888) over the Snowy River past the fork to Jimenbuen may take your imaginings way back of what life must have been on the Monaro.

On to Boloco past the bluestone Church of England and the cemetery opposite where

the headstones record the history of eight families who developed the Monaro High Plains with Beef Cattle and Sheep starting in the 1840’s through to the present day.

Past the turn-off to Paupong Station and the Boloco Woolshed and over Guises Creek we encountered the very steep winding incline up the escarpment to the top of the range where some spirited driving was exerted in cars which were just made for this section of road.

Travelling north onto the “Barry Way” (Buchan – Jindabyne) provided high-up views overlooking the blue Lake Jindabyne to our destination at Rydges Hotel, and into Jindabyne to “Nuggets Crossing” for lunch.

“You wouldn’t blame any of us (blokes or the girls) if we felt totally elated with our 330km drive over some of the best driving roads ever on a day, like today…….. would you?”

soon enough all three cars had parked and were busy clearing the road (I was in such a rush to clear the road that I didn’t remember to take a photo until we were nearly finished). Luckily it wasn’t too big of a tree and a few of us could drag it off the road, afterall, there’s no room in a GT4 or a GT3 for a chain saw!

The road from Khancoban out to Kiandra on the Snowy Mountains Highway might only be 80 kilometres long, but boy it packs a punch! This was originally built as a hydro access road and goes past many storage dams and power stations, but it’s pure joy for sports car drivers. A mix of tight and sweeping corners, with stunning alpine views, high altitude grass plains and very little traffic. There were a few potholes to dodge after all the pre-Christmas rain, but it is without a doubt one of my favourite roads in Australia!

From Kiandra we had a leisurely drive to Canberra, certainly a long way to get there, but worth every minute!

SATURDAY - CANBERRA

Graeme Rissman

There was anticipation in the air when we all met for breakfast at the Hyatt Canberra.

Chatter around where everyone was going, the National Portrait Gallery, NGV, War Museum, Questacon, old or new parliament house and where the best shopping options had the room buzzing. Feedback from the group confirmed each of the venues had a good representation of PCV Members enjoying what Canberra has to offer.

Tonight’s dinner venue was the National Press Club, and the Invitation was “Dress to Impress” and “Impress” everyone did.

Meeting in the Hyatt foyer at 6.15pm there were tales around, who went where and what they saw today, and on boarding the bus the classical music being played added to the atmosphere and anticipation to the night ahead.

Drinks and lovely finger food were served upstairs at the bar and at 8pm we entered the “National Press Club” room.

Alison gave us an overview of tonight’s schedule and an update on the run the next day with PC Canberra, and introduced our guest speaker for the night Tim Shaw (an Australian radio and television presenter, actor, journalist, author and businessman).

Tim captivated the audience with his insights and stories relating to Canberra politicians and the workings of the Press Club, and there were active questions during the Q & A session.

Everyone enjoyed the lovely menu provided, some took the opportunity to get a photo at the Rostrum, at around 10.30pm we boarded the bus for the return trip to The Hyatt and recoup for another day in Canberra.

SUNDAY – LUNCH WITH PCC (from Canberra)

Joe & Debbie Weinbach

Everybody helped out when Charles Agius had some car trouble on the way to lunch.

After another magnificent Hyatt breakfast with the regular morning chit chat amongst members it was time to hit the road again. But with the heavy rain forecast and a slight route change a decision was made to head to our lunch destination in Nowra and meet up with the PCC - Porsche Club Canberra. For some of us not so early risers we left at a respectable 9am and headed towards the Hume Hwy. You still of course had the option to travel with PCC and leave at 7.45am. One brave PCV couple David & Helen, decided to go with PCC and they ended high fiving each over lunch as they realised they were the only ones who had escaped the rain.

The rest of the crew headed up the Hume leaving at 9am, on the very cold, overcast wintery day with very wet roads. Just before Eaglehawk we hit 110 speed limit (yay!) but the rain was hitting the windscreen to the point where the windscreen wipers ‘needed to be faster’ (boo!). We had a quick Coffee Stop at the BP service station in Marulan on the Hume to find out Charles and Jillian’s red Carrera had broken a belt. As the saying goes ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ well it takes an ‘army to fix a belt on a Porsche’. This was not an F1

MONDAY – DRIVE TO ALBURY

Paula Bray

Our first stop was to Harden/Murrumburrah silo mural. The mural depicted families working the land in rural Australia in the late 19th - 20th centuries, as well as people in the zealous labour of the 1858-1862 gold rush.

Pitcrew but more like bush mechanics. There was a frenzy working out who had the right tools and then it was TEAM RED CARERRA getting it back on the road. Ok sometimes you have to limp before you can run, but limping went to another breakdown another quick fix, and another break down due to a seized pulley. The only option in the end was to be saved by RACV, it became a long day for Charles and Jillian with their only option of returning to the hotel.

After the not so quick pit stop we headed off the highway through the Shoalhaven region with some extremely wet and windy downhill sections of road. If you were a passenger you could take in the beauty and lush green gorgeous views through some low cloud on the way down from the hills to Nowra. If you were driving it was all focus and not much about enjoying the scenery but steering your car safely. The rain had finally eased by the time we’d gotten to lower ground making the drive a lot more enjoyable. The gorgeous, picturesque section was followed by one of the best (?) pothole sections ever encountered, somehow, think Baghdad.

We arrived at Nowra, gorgeous destination for our lunch on the water at Ponte Dining & Bar, PCC could not believe their eyes when they met PCV, we are loud, proud and a little bit crazy, their club in comparison to ours is very small. They were gobsmacked we could get 80 people on a tour, impressed by our camaraderie, mateship, and the amazing time we were having. After a beautiful 3 course lunch with lots more chit chat we all decided to go our own way home.

Some went home the way we drove in, others took the alternative route with more open roads. But there was another small incident on our homebound travels, when Chris & Sandra’s 991 GTS suffered a damaged tyre which resulted in a slow leak. But worry not, they ended up with Garry & Lois in front and Joe & Deb behind them helping them to limp home. Finally after an epic outing we all arrived safely back at the hotel to reminisce the happenings of the day. Yep, drinks all around when after a very big day of being ‘on the road again’.

Our next stop was the water tank in Wagga Wagga. Here, the mural tells the story of the Riverina water: fresh enough to drink unfiltered.

Our final water tower was in Yerong Creek. Here we immersed ourselves in the story of local life as we gazed at the towering spectacle connecting the past, present and future of agriculture, education, Wiradjuri culture, military life, sport and transportation.

Vickie Morris. Marshal, driver, commentator

What is interesting me about motorsport....

I liked cars prior to motorsport. They always made me feel good. Whether it be the feelings of safety and togetherness being in the family car on excursions, the thrills of doing handbrakeys in a Renault 12 or donuts in whatever piece of crap your mates drove as teeneagers or the freedom to roam and explore. I wasn’t too mechanically knowledgeable past studying the catalytic convertor at high school or the essential chemical compound knowledge I needed to get my science degree but I did know what motors I liked to look at....European cars, especially Porsches.

The Grand Prix came to Adelaide in the 80s; when I experienced the atmosphere the circus brought with it I was hooked. My cousin bought a Porsche, my dad had other German varieties and a boyfriend chauffeured me in an Alfa. Seeds had been planted at an early age. Fast forward 30 years and a finally bought a Porsche which opened me up to the wonderful world of PCV and the opportunity to drive fast legally. (Many would debate my concept of fast).

I started with attending social runs and events. Members were very encouraging and welcoming. I joined the social committee as I like contributing, then blurred the lines with marshalling. I didn’t actually know what marshalling meant but with the support of our track volunteers I learnt quickly. It’s a great way to meet people, discover more aspects of track days and do passenger laps in a beautiful mechanical specimen controlled (hopefully) by slightly crazy drivers. Interviewing people at The Sandown Regularity enabled me to find out more about what being a track driver entailed and in 2019 I took the plunge and entered Entree.

Motorsport is interesting - that’s what is interesting to me. It covers the full spectrum of emotions, thoughts and behaviours and if you want it to, it teaches you so much about yourself, people and the environment we are so fortunate to participate in. I very much appreciate my connection to PCV and the Motorsport world it has illuminated for me.

Natalie Jordan Driver

My first drive with PCV was at Winton in 2018 in entrée class. My Husband Pete and I owned a 997 911 at the time but she was too good to race. One day Pete came across a little black Cayman listed for sale on Gum tree. It seemed too good to be true. But Curiosity got the better of us, and we went to check it out! We flew up to Sydney and ended up driving her home. That little black Cayman started it off for us.

Starting out in Entrée allowed me to receive some fantastic coaching and track experience before progression to competition class and being a lady amongst all the gents, I honestly thought that I’d be treated very differently but the PCV community has been super supportive of me ever since that first race in Winton. Four years on, both Pete and I had one of our best races ever at the recent Broadford event and I am really excited to keep learning, improving, and pushing for some more PBs and points!

Janet Kane Entrée Driver, first outing

I had the best time at Broadford last Sunday. It was my first time entering the Entree Class and had never seen the Broadford track before. I still have the smile on my face as an adrenalin focused kid who has just come off the ‘Mad Max’ ride for the tenth time looking for the eleventh!!

I felt super welcomed from the get go.

From the registration, to the organisers, to the Marshals and all other drivers and spectators, I felt welcomed and supported. Many checking in on me during the day to see how I was going. My mentor James Moyle was amazing. He sat passenger for 3 of my 4 sessions. (I wanted to give one a go solo) So encouraging, warm, comforting and yet such a knowledgeable capable speed demon who helped me get the most of my first experience on a track I had not seen.

I improved each session. Loved it to bits. I cannot wait to book in for the next day.

Sessions were organised with such professionalism and consideration to drivers and their experience. With a capping of only 8 cars in the Entree class, it meant space on the track to learn skills without hectic traffic or fear of being either too slow and holding others up, or even too fast and being held back. Brilliant planning.

In what is a typically male dominated sport, and yes I was only one of a few women there, yet I never once felt like a minority.

Rather I felt more empowered to experience all that my amazing Porsche is capable of.

I would love to see many more women giving it a go, because seriously, having an amazing Porsche is one thing, but learning how to drive it is quite another; and I am so thrilled I am.

“What a buzz.”

Kayleen Mahony Driver

My first track day drive with PCV was at Phillip Island in 2019.

Belucci and I decided to share the Cayman GTS as I wanted to get a feel of the speed and freedom behind the wheel. My mentor taught me about the race lines and corner apexs in order to ensure that I was capable of going solo. That particular day was a success and I knew I was hooked.

Sharing the car was not optimum and it became difficult when the car was becoming faster with each modification. Then we all had to deal with COVID. I put my track time on the back burner whilst we waited for NORMAL to return. The positive was Belucci upgraded to a race car and I was offered the Cayman GTS as my own designated track car. Let the fun begin.

I decided to commit to track days in 2022, with as many entree group days as possible to familiarise myself with each track. I already loved Phillip Island, Broadford was my next favorite followed by Sandown (after I no longer focused on the walls). Winton was an issue which I have only just come to terms with in April 2023 after a mentor day with Belucci.

This year I have focused on a personal best (PB) at each track day. I enjoy the comradeship of my fellow competitors at each event. We joke together about me trying to chase them from the rear of the group. Broadford, over the weekend, was no exception. The car in front of me was a Hyundai (not even a Porsche). I know I let the team down by not being able to pass him but the fact that I would not let him get too far in front enabled me to maintain my PB of 1:16sec.

Broadford also enabled me to be on the track with my fellow female competitors, Natalie Jordan and Deborah Lane. Even though both girls are in A1 class where I am in M1, we love teasing each other after each race regarding me letting them pass because I like them. We constantly support each other and are quick to praise with high 5’s each time a PB is broken.

PCV track days are a perfect place for everyone to get together and enjoy a hobby we all adore.

Deb Lane Driver

Early in 2022 while attending my first PCV social event, a couple of ladies convinced me (admittedly, after some cajoling), to attend Sandown Ladies Day. With trepidation, given I had never driven on a racetrack, I took my car to Sandown; a speed demon was born! Since then, I have been coached in several entrée events and recently progressed to timed events.

My experience so far is a comradery between the women on the track. To my surprise, however, is how welcoming and encouraging the men have been. What I have also learnt is nothing focusses the mind better than driving fast. At the end of each event, my adrenal glands are exhausted and I go home and that night I sleep like a baby!

Srey Sen Volunteer Marshal

“I walked into the club with my viper’s eyes. In my mind Porsche’s a boy club. Pardon my prejudice. I am still a bit of an old school type of girl. Prefer boys to have their time and space. Out of curiosity I decided to check out the website. There I found an interesting mix and stumbled across a newsletter and event’s schedules. The events’ schedule - volunteer’s (Marshalling) section caught my attention. Still not convinced, girls marshalling? Impossible, imagine those eyes rolling reactions! Keep thinking to myself....”Got to be in it to win it”! Hint the sign up and reach out to Carly who then put me through to Murray. With his enthusiasm and encouragement I never look back since. What an amazing team and thank you PCV for the experience”.

Harriet Anson Volunteer Marshal

I began marshalling soon after joining PCV in 2009, I preferred to be on corners as one is close to the action but still safe. I have marshalled at all the Victorian race tracks and in all types of weather. When Ken started racing I continued marshalling usually as starter or on dummy grid.

After having had spinal surgery, and on a clear crisp winter morning (-2 degrees C) at Winton Andrew I. came to me and said, “I have another job for you (I was to be starter for the day), “See that white fenced in building, open the gate and see that door that

says Strictly No Admittance, open it, walk past timing and into the next room and the Clerk of Course will show what to do.”

That was my introduction to writing the log for the days racing. After the surgery this job enables me to sit but still keep marshalling.

Writing the log is something I enjoy though it can be challenging at times especially when two or more incidents occur at the same time.

Sally-Anne Hains Competition Driver

How I got involved in Motorsport.

Until I was in my mid-20s, and practicalities came into being, I had no interest in getting my driver license. Soon after my father-in-law thought it a great idea to gift the whole family a Murcotts Defensive Driving Day at Sandown. Everyone proclaimed that “they already knew how to drive and did not need to do it” but I did it, because it was back in the day when perhaps driver license testing was a little less stringent, and after one lesson and a dawdling drive around Carlton, I had my license, but I certainly knew little about driving! The day at Sandown was great fun, the high point of the excitement being spinning off doing an oversteer exercise. There was obviously a lot to driving, and on the track was the place to do it.

What do I enjoy about coming to PCV events;

How well organized, welcoming and varied they are. Everyone is very unified in their love of all things Porsche, and the PCV is in the possibly unique position of being able to run a whole Competition Season with just Porsches competing, so it is fascinating to see how all the different models go. But one of my favourite events was not a Competition day, but the drive day at Lang Lang held last year. Lang Lang to me had always been this mythical place with the banked “Speed Loop” behind very sturdy iron gates, and then came the opportunity, all because of the PCV, to drive there. The events are great because no matter what you do or are outside of the event days, when you get to them, you are welcomed because of the enthusiasm for all things Porsche.

BroadfordBroadfordSprintsSprints

Bucolic Broadford welcomes us back for the second time this year! The two-hour drive from the suburbs of Melbourne was wet and slow, contrasting with the overall high speed across all classes on the day.

The weather improved as the day unfolded, with the track staying dry and the air staying cool, allowing drivers to push hard on this tight and technical circuit. With the season well underway, all classes were well represented, and extremely close times were recorded across the board. It was a smashing weekend at Broadford (luckily not literally).

Something was in the air, you could say, as class records fell quicker than Jeremy Clarkson’s recent career!

Adam Stafford and Stefan Wojceichowski have been sharing the honors in the GT1 Class Record, with Stefan setting it in 2016, breaking his own record in 2017, and Adam taking it in 2022.

Stefan took it back in 2023 and then beat the record again on Sunday! Stefan (991.1GT3RS), Adam (991.1GT3RS), and Anthony Bulloch (991.2GT3) were all faster than Stefan’s 2023 record on Sunday!

In GT3, James Moyle (991C2S) beat Simon Dunn’s record from April 2017, just edging out Richard Thompson, who also beat the record in his 996GT3. In A1, Peter Jordan (981 Cayman S) capped it all off by beating Jamie Lovett’s 2016 record.

In B Class, Danny Loypur (Cayman 987) put in a stellar drive, only 0.391 seconds away from taking Rick Moscati’s 2014 B Class record. While he missed the record, he was comfortably faster than the benchmark and earned 107 points for his day’s work.

Competitors will know that if a record is more than five years old, the benchmark increments from that point by 0.5% of the time per year.

A funny anecdote is Bill Toohey, now called “Wrong Way Bill,” who forgot to turn right at the end of the back straight and ended up in the run-off area, facing all of the oncoming traffic! (I think it was a sneaky reconnaissance!)

The only incident of the day was Daniel Reynolds losing a headlight on the back straight during his warm-up lap. (Luckily, it wasn’t a night race!) Lastly, what a day!

Many thanks to the officials and marshals whose seamless work to make these race events happen is universally appreciated.

Coffee Run to Kilmore & Mt Macedon

Saturday 20th May 2023

Story by Helen Zlotkowski

An early start which promised a lot of rain, was quite cloudy and rather chilly. We met at BP/Hungry Jacks in Bulla next to The Black Horse Hotel which was a handy spot if you needed to fuel up, and a great viewing platform for watching people drive in.

The BP/HJ’s had the tiniest café with only a few seating options so it was a warm and cosy area for members to enjoy their meet and greets. The little café was inundated with coffee orders and I don't think they quite expected so many people so early. Kon Gogos organised everyone outside and there was an array of mixed and interesting Porsches. Wholey cow! I didn’t know which way to look!

It felt like there was quite a bit of anticipation in the air and thought this would be a good run. Kon went through the run notes and expressed the impending dirt road and everyone nodded in response. We all jumped into our cars, and one by one followed each other in convoy. The roads were fairly dry, and as we had previously done runs around Macedon Ranges it was the case of have we been here before? In no time we were overlooking beautiful paddocks full of sheep and the most interesting stone formations.

The first leg of the run was when the clouds began to rise, there was a hint of warmth in the air with glimpses of blue sky and the sun poking through. We met up at the Rose Garden Café in Kilmore for breakfast and to stretch our legs. This little café had the loveliest rose garden and an outdoor seating area where most of us sat. The café was excellent at producing delicious quality food and quite quick. I spotted a few people having yummy things to eat and a highly recommended place to visit.

After a good hour or so of chatting and catching up with new and previous members we had met before, we all jumped back into our cars, and we set off for Mount Macedon. I vaguely remember Kon had mentioned there was a dirt road around Dry Creek Road… Well, once we turned out of Kilmore onto Dry Creek Road there were cars going in every direction possible! Was there or wasn’t there a dirt road? All we could see was people turning around on a narrow road and so did we. It was literally the case of follow the leader. Ken and Harriet were once behind us and they too went another way, also did a U-turn and they were back in

front of us! Right, lets follow them! Then zoom, zoom, zoom, there were cars coming from the opposite direction, obviously confused too and we were dedicated to following Ken and Harriet. We did a big circle and came through Kilmore once again. Then there was a fork in the road, Ken and Harriet were heading up Northern Highway and another car was heading towards Dry Creek Road. Yes! Let’s follow them, 2.0.

We too came across another dreaded dirt road which made us do a U-turn and alas, we were back at the traffic lights and onto the Northern Highway! We were back on the straight and narrow and back on track. As we drove up Northern Highway and passed the other end of Dry Creek Road we wondered how on earth people drove their cars through the dirt road.

I’m an adventurous type and getting lost is absolutely part of the fun. For me, I love the enjoyment of figuring out a route along with the theatre of joining the group at the end and everyone going, what happened to you! Where were you! arrrhhhh yeah, well, we went down there, did a loop around there and ended up here!

Driving up Mount Macedon was beautiful and majestic. We could see clouds and misty rain closing in as we trekked up the mountain. Once we got to the top, it was like the cloud mood had changed and it was very misty, icy cold and visibility became poor. We spotted Porsches and we knew we were in the right spot. We parked, ordered coffee, scones and cakes at the Top of the Range Tea Rooms and the group erupted in cheer that we had finally arrived!

By the time we sat down, the clouds had shifted away to display beautiful views of regional Victoria and across the valley. It was actually perfect timing.

Final thoughts to self. If you see Ken and Harriet, stick with them! I told them this at the café and they burst out laughing. They know what they’re doing. And definitely stop at The Rose Garden Café for the egg and bacon roll. The vision of Kon’s egg trickling down his hands made it look like a very scrumptious breakfast burger!

A big thankyou to Kon for organising a very enjoyable day and the turnout was incredible. It was an excellent Porsche drive around the Kilmore/Macedon area.

Autumn Social Run - Yarra Valley High Tea at Chateau Yering

Nearing the last days of autumn and about to proceed into winter, the later start of our Autumn Run was certainly welcomed by most of the participants. Even the overcast skies and drizzly rain didn’t diminish attendance with 61 vehicles and 114 participants assembling at Porsche Centre Doncaster at 10:30am for a “light brunch” before setting out on our drive. There was even one canine member very fashionably dressed for the occasion in a pink coat.

As usual the PCD folk were great hosts providing a great setting and atmosphere for the participants to meet up or catch up with warm coffee, pastries and delicious fudges catered for by Katrina’s Fudge Van.

Geoff and Clyde extended our appreciation to Flavio, Ozlem and the other members of PCD staff who were more than happy to chat with us and explain all the latest features on the marvelous range of vehicles on display.

Upon leaving PCD we were fairly quickly into a rural atmosphere winding our way out to Warrandyte, crossing the upper reaches of the Yarra onto the Kangaroo Ground – St Andrews Road and through the delightful little village of Paton Hill. Some very nice twisty roads between St Andrews and Kinglake through majestic stands of Mountain Ash. From Kinglake we turned east and eventually south to bring us out in Healesville, all with nice winding roads and thankfully not too much traffic. The last segment took us down to Woori Yallock then west to Coldstream and up to the finish at Chateau Yering.

The misty rain added to our first taste of winter but along the way there were lots of lush green fields offset by trees displaying a beautiful range of autumn colours. There were also crackles of cockatoos brightening up the trees that had already shed their foliage.

Arriving at Chateau Yering always has a special feel and we were ably marshalled into our parking spaces and then directed off to the Oak Room where we were welcomed with a glass of French champagne. The high tea was comprised of tiered layers of cakes and pies set on round tables covered with crisp white table linen. The Oak Room layout and the quality of the food certainly made for a great atmosphere.

Geoff and Clyde again managed proceedings and introduced our 4 new members and their partners who had joined us on the day, bringing along a range of vehicles from the latest 992 to a beautifully maintained 1985 Carrera 3.2. A welcoming complimentary bottle of wine to each of the new member couples, made for a nice introduction to a PCV event.

With the high tea winding up around 4pm, it was an easy drive back to Melbourne after a very relaxed and enjoyable day.

Boxster/Cayman Register Run to Red Hill

Saturday 6th May 2023

The cream of the Porsche owners crop met, McCoffee in hand, on a grey Saturday morning in Heatherton. Event organiser Carlo took the roll, and satisfied that all was in order got the event underway.

First piece of business was ensnaring a volunteer to record the day’s activities. With my wine cupboard, resembling the Jack Daniels and cola display at BWS after a Collingwood win, I was happy to stick my hand up.

Carlo took us through the briefing, which somewhat impressively included an apology from King Charles who expressed his disappointment at not being able to join us, observing that had he realised it was a Cayman Boxster run day, he would have chosen differently for his coronation.

As the clouds began to break we headed off. Once through suburbia, and having braved the Frankston badlands, we skirted the bay to

Arthur’s Seat for morning tea. I was fortunate to join Dennis, run stalwarts Stewart and Pernilla, and new members Jeff and Annie for a great chat on Porsche use cases which ranged from track days to grocery shopping.

Suitably refreshed, and with blue sky overhead, we all set off for phase two of the run. It was at this point things got interesting.

The map showed us driving a loop around the Mornington Peninsula, finishing not too far from where we began. With no justification at all, I interpreted the instructions to mean we were to complete the loop in an anti-clockwise direction. Google maps proceeded to tell me to do a U-turn, which I stubbornly refused to do because I was convinced it was sending me in the wrong direction. I realised I may have made a mistake when I found myself on the freeway heading back to Melbourne.

Cool, clam, and completely relaxed as all Porsche owners would be in such a

predicament, I fought my way back to Arthur’s Seat, and proceeded to invent my own route to our lunch destination, passing numerous familiar looking vehicles heading in the opposite direction.

Sitting down at Green Olive Estate with new members Carol and Mark, and Shirley, I learned that I was not alone in my navigation creativity. In fact my straw poll over the course of the next couple of hours suggested that I may even have been in the majority.

A generous lunch, washed down with some excellent wine, ensured all were gastronomically satisfied. The laughter about the room confirmed the success of the day.

Raffle winners were drawn, and bottle of Pinot Noir firmly in hand, I said my farewells and cruised home.

A fabulous day amongst fabulous people. Well done to all who attended.

Question: What could be better than a drive in the country, taking in the autumn colours of the Macedon Shire on a sunny Sunday morning?

Response: seeing all this through the windscreen of your Porsche, and the company of other like-minded members of the Torque Tube Register, that’s what!

As the result of much careful pre-planning by Register Captain Wayne Williamson and partner Alison, the route of 135 kms was picturesque and suitably exciting and rewarding. The schedule gave due consideration to morning tea and lunch arrangements, to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of the 20 or so participants in a dozen superb Porsches. What’s more, Wayne and Alison even managed to arrange the weather, delivering one of the most sublime autumn days imaginable.

Setting out from beneath the tall gums of Eltham – the air crisp and full of bird song, the assembled cars included 944s, 928s, a 968, 911 and a couple of Boxsters (986 and 718) which travelled in convoy, revelling in the first stage from Eltham through to Kilmore. There were some hills, some sweeping curves, the obligatory narrow bridge, and many beautiful snatches of scenes of cattle grazing on hillsides and idyllic hamlets. It was full of opportunities to experience the brilliant engineering, balance

Torque Tube Run to the Telegraph Hotel

Sunday the 23rd of April

and handling that is Porsche. It was also thrilling to see and hear other cars in motion: their vibrant colours vivid against the hues of the autumnal countryside on the road ahead and behind.

The refreshment morning tea at the Kilmore Bakery was well timed and participants mingled leisurely over coffee and took time to chat and appreciate the assembled cars, basking in the sunshine. It was also a chance for those club members doing their first ever register run (welcome!) to get better acquainted with like-minded enthusiasts.

With the second stage completed, the convivial atmosphere continued at lunch when talk around the table at Gisborne’s Telegraph Hotel focused on the highlights of the westward course across to Lancefield and then around the iconic Hanging Rock, up over Mt Macedon with its tight hairpin bends down the south face (bedecked with visitors taking in tours of the Autumn festival) and on to charming Gisborne. Leaving the lovely fleet parked together under the oaks, hungry drivers and passengers converged on the pub for a generous meal of good country fare, more stories and great company.

Each year The Porsche Club has various social runs, so members have a choice of options. Register runs attract similar cars and therefore provide opportunities to exchange important mechanical wisdom, seek advice and generally build camaraderie with owners of similar cars.

The rascals I sat with at lunch suggested that I make a comment comparing Torque Tube and air-cooled Porsches. I will not be falling for that! I know that the Porsche Club of Victoria is a broad church, and different groups just love their favoured cars!

Highly enjoyable Torque Tube Register runs like this are only possible because of the energy and dedication of people like Wayne Williamson, and he deserves our heartfelt thanks. We look forward to the future involvement of Jon Tiktin as co convenor of the Torque Tube Register in planning future runs.

993/964 Register Run to Fowles Winery Cloudy with chance of rain!

We began our day at the car park of McDonald’s Balwyn. After a quick briefing about the run, most of us grabbed a coffee and a muffin. It was great to see that the run was fully booked, and there were many familiar faces along with some new ones.

All the cars set off, hoping for the weather to clear. Many of us were concerned that our weekend’s washing efforts would be in vain. As we drove further away from Melbourne, the weather gradually improved.

However, we encountered fog and rain before finally being greeted by sunshine!

The drive through Kinglake was breathtaking, and the mist hovering over the road added a touch of magic to the scenery. We stopped for Morning Tea at the Rose Garden Cafe in Kilmore, where the scones and quiches were absolutely delicious.

The second part of the run took us to our lunch destination at Fowles Winery. It was a beautiful sight to see the line of Porsches navigating the winding roads. Most of us stayed on track until the very end, but when we reached the

turnoff to Mangalore and Lambing Gully Road, a few of us had to make rapid U-turns to regain our position.

Lunch was served in the winery’s private dining space and, as always, the food was delicious. What stood out the most was the conversations we had with fellow car enthusiasts and their passion for their Porsches. It was fascinating to see how unique each person’s perspective and love for Porches were. We felt fortunate to have shared this afternoon together. And, of course, the winners of the Lucky Draw prizes, Mark Rhodes, Graeme Anderson, and Alex Danielsen, were even luckier.

A huge thank you goes to our gracious organizers, without whom we wouldn’t have these beautiful Sunday drives!

Cayenne & Macan Register Run to Alexandra

Sunday 26th March 2023 Story

The Porsche Club of Victoria’s Cayenne/ Macan run to Alexandra was an event to remember. The run was organized by Jake Parsons, who did an excellent job of putting together a fun-filled day for Porsche enthusiasts. Along with Cayennes and Macans, there were a few Caymans and Carreras that joined in on the run, making it a diverse and exciting group of cars.

The run started from McDonald’s in Tecoma, with Bob Morgan leading the group in his Transsyberian Cayenne. Despite some lastminute changes, including a cancellation and some late arrivals, the group set off towards Warburton for a well-deserved coffee break.

After a short delay, the group resumed the run towards Alexandra, but Bob had made headway and was halfway to the final destination before the rest of the group decided to get back to the run. Helen and Rohan took the

lead in their 718 Cayman. The Reefton spur was a challenging piece of track that kept all the drivers’ concentration at its peak. It was a glorious, windy stretch of road that tested the ability of the drivers and the vehicles.

The drive was excellent, with good roads and little traffic to slow us down. The sheer drops and breathtaking views kept some co-pilots distracted, but the drivers maintained their focus, enjoying the thrill of driving their Porsches on some of Victoria’s most beautiful roads.

Sadly, David and Kasia had to say goodbye to the group, as they were time-poor and needed to pick up their family by 4 pm. The rest of the group continued on to the Corner Hotel at Alexandra.

Lunch at the Corner Hotel was simple, wellprepared, and fresh, with a few bevvies and tall stories shared among the members.

Jake had arranged some fantastic prizes for the raffle draw, and everybody was a winner, thanks to the small group and an overflowing boot full of goodies from Jake.

Reza was kind enough to donate a handcarved wooden Porsche emblem, and the lucky winner was Giovanni, who was pleasantly surprised and chuffed with his score. We are all expecting this piece to see some love and care, and Giovanni has promised to share some pictures when he is finished with it.

The staff at the venue were more than happy to accommodate the members’ wishes with food and drinks, and the run concluded with some beautiful group photos outside the Corner Hotel.

Thanks to Jake for organising and being an evergracious host, and Reza and Bob for helping with lead and tail-end support throughout the run. It was yet another successful event by PCV, and everyone had a great time. Cheers!

Mid 911 Register Run to Heathcote

It was a wet and overcast autumn morning when the members of the Porsche Club of Victoria gathered at Lady Siven cafe for their Mid-911 Register drive. As they sipped their coffee, the sound of revving engines could be heard in the distance, signaling the arrival of the sleek and powerful Porsches that would be their companions for the day.

There was a smattering of mid and modern 911s, Boxsters, and Caymans eager to get moving. After the briefing by Paul Sbrissa, the group set off on their journey from Whittlesea to Paling Brothers Brewery in Heathcote. Dileep set the pace in a 911 GT3, followed closely by others, their cars cutting through the winding roads and taking in the stunning views of the countryside. As they passed through Flowerdale, they felt the rush of adrenaline that came from driving such finely tuned machines. Though the roads were wet, the skilled drivers navigated their machines with expertise.

The drive took them through Kinglake and Pyalong, with each bend and curve of the road testing their skills and abilities as drivers. But they handled their cars with ease, taking in the sights and sounds of the open road. The roads were relatively free of traffic, except for a mobile speed camera. But as all drivers

were well-behaved and adhering to the road rules, I doubt if there were any offenders.

Finally, they arrived at Paling Brothers Brewery, where they were greeted with the delicious smells of fresh food and the sound of clinking glasses. The lunch was a feast for the senses, with the flavors of locally sourced ingredients and in-house brewed beer.

As they ate, they chatted amicably with their fellow club members, sharing stories and swapping tips on the best ways to care for their beloved Porsches. And then came the moment they had all been waiting for: the club draw for prizes, with members eagerly hoping to take home a memento of their day on the road. Congratulations to Trevor, KC, Peter, Shelly, Nadine, Noah, Helen, and Rohan.

With full bellies and happy hearts, the drivers departed on the return journey back to Melbourne, their engines roaring once again as they navigated the winding roads, having lived the dream of driving some of the finest sports cars ever made. The run notes and the map link were accurate. Thanks to Paul Sbrissa for organising the event.

Defensive Driver Training day at Sandown with Evolve Driving

Although the turnout was lower than expected, those who attended had a fantastic time. They not only learned the theory of safe driving but also had the opportunity to practice in the adjacent car park, where they were relatively safe.

While the sudden stops and last-minute swerves during the practice sessions were heart-stopping, I discovered that one of my stop lights was not working properly. A subsequent investigation by NineAuto revealed that rats had infiltrated my wiring system and had quite a feast!

After spending nearly $4,000, I’m relieved to have discovered the issue so that I could upgrade my home garage and prevent the entry of these troublesome creatures. Apparently, rats have a particular fondness for 911 flat engines, as they find them comfortable while devouring anything edible. I would advise placing rat traps under parked cars, as this appears to be a fairly common problem.

During the lunch break at Sandown, Evolve Driving provided a diverse range of healthy food that was enjoyed by everyone.

Another positive aspect of the day was a mother who attended with her daughter, who was learning to drive and had “learner plates” on the car. Both of them actively participated and performed exceptionally well. It truly was a great day for everyone involved.
