espite the heat and a food delivery snafu on Sunday, we had another very successful and enjoyable Porscheplatz. In attendance were 161 PCA members, 33 non PCA members (but Porsche owners) and 31 Porsche Cars Canada Employees.

We had a lot of things to see and do especially as the Porsche factory team pit was located right across from the Porscheplatz tent. The tent is conveniently located near the bridge over the front straight only minutes from the pits. In attendance were Marc Ouayoun (Porsche Canada President) with Lynne Friedman of PCA and Michael Pohlmann, President of UCR. Michael also was given the opportunity to issue the command to “Start Engines”. Also helping this year were Cindy Jacisin, Vice President of PCA and her husband Bob Rath, VP of Chicago region. The Pfaff drivers of the Porsche GTD showed up Saturday morning to answer questions and mingle. Zacharie Robichon, (shown in photo on page 17), had responded to a question about his least favourite corner as being Corner 8. Scott Hargrove who had arrived late and not heard Zac’s response, had responded that Corner eight was his favourite corner which garnered a few laughs.
