By Jamie White – Head of Communications
A new festival hosted by the Porsche GB Club is set to take place at Brands Hatch next month.
The Brands Hatch Festival of Porsche will be the club’s premier national event for 2014 and will feature racing, displays and demonstrations of both classic and contemporary Porsche sports cars.
The event, on September 21st, is being organised by circuit owner MSV in association with Porsche Club GB and supported by Porsche Cars GB.
The Brands Hatch Festival of Porsche coincides with the 40th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, and a special celebration of the model will form part of the festivities, with a dedicated parade of over 60 examples of the 911 Turbo from the 1970s to the present day taking to the track.
Race fans will be able to enjoy a full on-track programme including the Porsche Club GB Porsche Club Championship, Porsche Club Speed Championship and BRSCC Porsche Championship. There will also be a Concours Display for cherished cars, and extra off-track attractions including trade stands, a fun fair and live music.
In addition to famous cars, a number of Porsche personalities will also take an active part in the event. Leading the on-track action will be former Porsche works race drivers and Le Mans winners Derek Bell, MBE, and Richard Attwood.
Ragnar Schulte, General Manager, Marketing, Porsche Cars GB, said: “The commitment of Porsche Club GB and Brands Hatch to this Festival is impressive. The enthusiasm and passion for Porsche at this event will excite everyone who attends, whether or not you are a Club member, a Porsche owner or just someone who loves cars.”
