REPORT

Hello readers. A new issue and a new editor – well, not quite. In penning this editorial I am aware that, whilst this edition has been a collaborative effort between Phill and myself, Phill has done most of the work putting together another marvellous Porsche Report. By that I mean that the bringing together of articles and new supporters who have come onboard will again be reflective of the hard work and devotion that has characterised Phill’s time as Editor. As you probably are also aware, due to some procedural issues around our recent AGM held in September the result is that the elected Committee positions for the 2021/22 year, including Editor, have been deemed technically invalid. The appropriate steps are being taken to address this governance issue but in the meantime, because Phil and I have done a great deal of work already to ensure a smooth transition to me as Editor, we don’t wish to hinder our progress in this area, which is why I am writing this editorial piece. Having said that, if another club member nominates for the Editorial position, then they will of course have an opportunity to take on this role if elected at our follow up AGM, but in the meantime Phil and I will continue to move forward unless circumstances change. I’m sure you all understand the logic in this. Taking up the position of Editor, and having discussions with various people who share a love of the Porsche brand, has caused me to consider just what this magazine means to its readers, what they want from the magazine and what wider function it serves as part of the Porsche Club of SA Inc. Needless to say, first and foremost it must be about club members, supporters, the Porsche brand and then the wider Porsche community in SA. I heard just recently a senior Porsche AG executive say that ‘Porsche is a brand for people who follow their dreams’. If so, I want this magazine to reflect those dreams, especially as we move through a period of transition for Porsche AG, from primarily designing and manufacturing vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE) as the primary powerplant, to an all-electric concept that is more sustainable and digital. These cars will be better equipped to meet more stringent emissions and consumption standards globally. Of course, Porsche is not new to the electric powertrain environment. Some 113 years ago Porsche developed the world’s first hybrid and since then has advanced its electrification technology whilst staying true to its sports car tradition. In 2010 Porsche unveiled its 911/997 GT3 R Hybrid as a test-bed on the racetrack for what Porsche called Porsche Intelligent Performance. The vehicle had 2 electric motors of 60Kw each on the front axle and a 373kw 4 litre flat six at the rear. In addition, it featured an electric flywheel power generation unit fitted in the passenger seat area to provide both regeneration and electric motor functions. This was perhaps a glimpse into the future of the ubiquitous and iconic 911!

As we all know, then came the 918 hybrid supercar and the all-conquering 919 LMP1 car that competed so successfully in the WEC. Now we have the launch of the exciting Mission R Concept for an all electric customer racing vehicle. You can read more about this in this edition. We can be left in no doubt that Porsche intends to evolve more performance, more efficient drivetrains and higher capacity batteries whilst always balancing innovation with tradition, So, what might the future of the 911 look like? Porsche has already flagged that, as part of the 992 mid cycle revamp in 2023/24 we will see the 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid, but also made clear that it does not regard the 911 concept as suited to full electrification. What Porsche has also said is that by 2030 some 80% of all its new vehicles will be electrified. I look forward to being able to reflect in this magazine the diversity of Porsche ownership and enjoyment amongst the Club membership as well as an awareness of what the wider Porsche community is doing in SA and, indeed, the world. SA is, after all, Porsche’s biggest single marque ownership market per capita of any State in Australia so there is plenty of brand awareness and an obvious desire to experience all the brand represents. In this edition we cover the Collingrove Hill Climb and Super Sprint events, the new 2021 GT3 and we feature the return of the ‘member profile’ article, this time on Peter Withensohn and his long standing passion for Porsches. Member Profile articles are something I would like to see again feature regularly in the magazine so please send me your contributions if you believe you have an interesting story to tell. There is also an article on an upcoming attempt to set a record for motorised crossing of no less a place than Antarctica using a highly modified Porsche 356. We also cover the important social events held over the quarter. On the topic of social events, we (Lee Fulton) are always pleased to receive articles and photos from any club members who have attended one of these events and would like to share that experience with the wider readership. I would only ask that any photos be sent to me as attachments to emails so that we can capture the full quality of the images. Last but not least, we welcome three new supporters to this magazine. They are Collecting Cars APAC Ltd who have a huge online presence in vehicle auction sales; Soul Growers of the Barossa Valley who have supplied us a great ad and a very special deal for Porsche club members and Venergy, your one stop shop for all your solar energy requirements. We are excited to welcome them all to our magazine and the Porsche community and thank them and all our other supporters for their generosity.

Won Over by a Porsche Classic Story: Barrett Trenwith When I met my husband, it was clear I was going to have to share his passion for cars. He had been involved with club motorsport and Time Attack racing for many years, and this wasn’t going to change. It even got brought up in the speeches at our wedding, by multiple people, including my Father! The idea of this was not a problem, I had grown up in America and my dad, Shelby, had a passion for all things mechanical and owned a number of classic American muscle cars. Including a pristine Ford Mustang that I drew down the side of with a rock as a toddler right after it came back from a restoration. Again, this was brought up in a wedding speech! The hurdle that I saw was as much as Brad enjoyed racing his Mazda, he had always wanted a Porsche for a weekend fun car. I can remember clear as day saying “We can have anything, except a Porsche”, yet here we are… Eventually the day came, I received a text with a Carsales advertisement link to a 1974 Porsche 911 in bright orange, accompanied by the message “I just put a deposit on this, I’m heading back into work, love you” knowing full well I couldn’t get in touch with him to “discuss” his purchase.

My dislike for Porsche quickly changed into a shared love of the marque. We took the car on little hills runs for breakfasts and lunches. I found the car cute, I loved the vintage nature of it, and began to appreciate all the quirks and features. We attended a couple of Porsche meets, the friendliness and welcoming nature of the members was so great to experience, and soon enough, I became one of them and bought a 981 Boxster. I have taken the Boxster to a Motorkhana and a track day. Both times I felt welcomed, safe and encouraged. We have taken the orange car on the Adelaide Rally with the Porsche club 3 years now and it has been an absolute blast every time. We took part in the Easter weekend and had a truly great time and got to share our passion and interest with some wonderful people. The people these cars attract add so strongly to my enjoyment of the cars. If you are new to the club, or just haven’t attended any of the catch ups, motorkhana’s or track days, I truly believe you are missing out on one of the best parts of owning these cars and the community that comes with it. Come along, say hi, and you might find yourself surprised with just how much fun you can have.

New Macan is Go! Story & Photos: Porsche AG Porsche has launched the new Macan with increased performance, a sharper design and a new operating concept. All three available versions come with significantly more power than their predecessors. As the sporty flagship of the successful SUV line-up, the Macan GTS sits at the top of the range. Its 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine now delivers 324 kW, an increase of 44 kW. With the responsiveness and power delivery typical of Porsche GTS cars, it completes the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 4.3 seconds when fitted with the Sport Chrono package and reaches a top speed of 272 km/h. The Macan S is now also equipped with a 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine that produces 20 kW more power than before, with 280 kW on tap. This propels the vehicle from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds while it has a top speed of up to 259 km/h. A newly developed, turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 195 kW serves as the entry point to the Macan world. It completes the standard 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 6.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 232 km/h. All engines are coupled to the seven-speed Porsche dualclutch transmission (PDK) and the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel-drive system.

as well as Python Green for the Macan GTS with the GTS Sport package. Larger wheels are also fitted as standard: they measure at least 19 inches for the Macan, 20 inches for the Macan S and 21 inches for the Macan GTS. A total of seven new wheel designs have also been added to the range. The Macan GTS now sets itself apart from the other derivatives even more than before with the now-standard sport air suspension, which lowers the body by 10 millimetres. The dynamic benefits of the

new GTS are above all due to the fact that the air suspension is 10 per cent more rigid on the front axle and 15 per cent firmer on the rear axle compared with its predecessor. Besides the dynamic benefits and black highlights on the exterior, the GTS Sport package, available only for the top model, also contains specific and exclusive equipment for the interior. This includes 18-way sport seats, the Carbon interior package, Race-Tex upholstery with extended leather elements, various items with contrast stitching and GTS lettering in Python Green.

A total of 14 colours are available for the new Macan, including the new colours Papaya Metallic and Gentian Blue Metallic,

Race Inspired 911 GT3 Story & Photos: Porsche AG In the new Porsche 911 GT3, the brand’s most powerful genes combine to create something even stronger. Motorsport legends Walter Röhrl and Jörg Bergmeister provide expert analysis of the state-of-theart racer for the road. The highlight reel in Walter Röhrl’s mind plays an over 20-year-old thriller. “We never would have thought that a series production car could lay down a sub-eight-minute lap on the Nordschleife,” the motorsport legend recalls. In 1999, the first Porsche 911 GT3 pulled it off. Not least because it was driven around the Nürburgring by the two-time rally world champion himself. After 20.6 kilometres, the clock stopped at 7:56.33 minutes. It was a sensation! For Jörg Bergmeister, a 23-year-old up-andcoming Porsche factory driver at the time, there were no doubts: the GT3 was his dream car. Now Porsche has presented the seventh generation of the high-performance sports car. Proving an absolute best time around the Nürburgring from four almost equally fast laps on what is now a 20.8-kilometre test circuit by development driver Lars Kern: an astonishing 6:59.927 minutes. Roughly a minute faster than the first one. “A world of difference,” says Röhrl. 14

REPORT

The latest GT3 incorporates more racing technology than any of its predecessors. The layout of the double wishbone front axle, the refined aerodynamics with the swan-neck rear wing, and the striking diffuser are just a few of many examples. All perfectly lovely, all high-tech, but the absolute sensation always was and still remains this absolute sound. “Exhilarating,” says Röhrl approvingly. “No car lover can resist it.” Bergmeister nods in agreement. The orchestral, naturally aspirated engine mobilises 375 kW (510 PS). The four-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine is based on the racing engine in the 911 GT3 R and is used in a practically unmodified state in the new 911 GT3 Cup. All of the high-performance technology comes from Porsche Motorsport. When equipped with the standard PDK transmission, the new GT3 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 318 km/h. It delivers its maximum engine output at 8,400 rpm. “I have never driven a better series production car,” Bergmeister says. “You always know exactly what the car is going to do.” Röhrl confirms: “Balance

is the key to driving fast. And I’ve been a weight reduction fanatic all my life.” The 1.96-metre-tall rally legend pats his flat stomach with a grin. “When I hear that the new GT3, which is much larger, and much more capable, essentially weighs just under 70 kilos more than the first GT3, I can only doff my hat to a masterpiece of technology.” The car’s commendable weight is also down to insights from the racing world. The front hood made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic, for example, or the lightweight glass windows, optimised brake rotors and forged alloy wheels. The lightweight sport exhaust system itself saves a stately 10 kg. All told, the GT3 weighs in at a svelte 1,435 kg. Die-hard purists can order a six-speed manual transmission that tips the scales with an additional 17 kg. Further weight-optimised components, such as the exposed carbon fibre roof, are also available. The most powerful series 911 with a naturally aspirated engine offers an astonishing level of everyday comfort for what is a razor-sharp driving machine. What else is there to say? The final word goes to the grand master of driving: “I am often asked which is my favourite 911,” says Röhrl. “It’s always the latest one – and the next one.”

Porsche Mission R Concept

PORSCHE

REPORT

Right on time for the start of the IAA MOBILITY 2021 in Munich, Porsche provided a spectacular look into the automotive future. The Mission R concept car combines state-of-the-art technologies and sustainable materials, such as natural fibre-reinforced plastics, with a passion for racing. In addition to a progressive design, the extremely low-slung, all-electric

competition car features the characteristic lines of the sports cars from StuttgartZuffenhausen. The two newly developed electric motors incorporated in the Porsche Mission R deliver up to 800 kW in so-called qualifying mode. The battery capacity of around 80 kWh and the innovative recuperation system make sprint racing possible with no loss of output.

“Porsche is the brand for people who fulfil their dreams. This is also true in motorsports. We experience our innovative strength on the race track, demonstrate courage in pursuing new avenues and delight car owners with sporting performance,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. “In addition to our involvement in the Formula E World Championship, we are now taking the

next big step forward in electric mobility. The concept study is our vision of all-electric customer motorsports. The Mission R embodies everything that makes Porsche strong: performance, design and sustainability.” Since the start of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland 31 years ago, the sports car manufacturer has produced and delivered more than 4,400 Cup cars from Weissach. A total of 30 one-make cup series are held worldwide on the basis of these reliable, high-performance racing cars. The latest version of the 911 GT3 Cup was not launched until the start of

this year’s 2021 motorsport season and is based on the 992 model generation. The Porsche Mission R provides an indication of what the future of one-make series with all-electric cars could look like. The all-wheel drive car in qualifying mode accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds. Top speed: over 300 km/h. On the race track, the electric racer achieves the same lap time performance as the current Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Thanks to newly designed electric motors and battery cells – all equipped with innovative direct oil cooling – the Porsche Mission R concept study produces a constant power output of 500 kW in race mode. So-called derating, i.e. reduction of

the battery‘s power output due to thermal conditions, has been eliminated. An electric motor with up to 320 kW powers the front axle, while a maximum of 480 kW is delivered to the rear. Thanks to advanced 900-volt technology and Porsche Turbo Charging, a good 15-minute break from racing is all that is needed to charge the battery from 5 to 80 per cent SoC (state of charge). Charging can take place with up to 340 kW. The Mission R also features a further development of Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) with Drag Reduction System (DRS) on the ose section and rear wing. It comprises three louvres in each of the two side air intakes on the nose section as well as an

adjustable, two-section rear wing. In addition to the innovative, batteryelectric drive concept, the body of the concept car also focuses on CO2 reduction and sustainability: it is largely made of natural fibre reinforced plastic (NFRP), the basic material of which is made from flax fibres obtained from farming. This ecological material is also used for the front spoiler lip, the diffuser and the side skirts. NFRP is used extensively in the interior of the Mission R, such as the interior door panels, the rear bulkhead and the seat. The interior design focuses on the driver in all areas. An ergonomically placed display between the controls on the steering

wheel shows relevant data during the race. The monitor above the steering column shows the images from the side mirror cameras and the central rear-view mirror camera. A touch display to the right of the seat can be used to call up the driver’s biometric data, for instance.

weight and a distinctive look. Porsche engineers and designers have named the newly developed carbon roof structure the “exoskeleton”. It combines safety cage and roof skin. At 4,326 millimetres in length, the Porsche Mission R is slightly shorter than the current 718 Cayman series, but it is noticeably wider at 1,990 millimetres and with an external height of 1,190 millimetres is also significantly lower.

We had quite a varied field of cars in July’s sprint at The Bend. Mostly Porsches of course but still covering a wide range of models and years. Just goes to show, a Porsche never gets too old to mix it up on track. It’s in their DNA. Darien (PCSA Motorsport Director) likes to mix it up at The Bend, and with a variety of tracks to choose from, why not. For this event the International track was the focus of our attention, the same track as used by the Supercars. Weather conditions were ideal and the track was, per usual in excellent shape, which allowed many competitors to post personal best times on the day.

August Sprint at The Bend 1st August 2021 Under sunny skies in August a healthy number of like minded individuals descended on The Bend Motorsport circuit to try their hand at putting in a good time. While having a good time… Our Porsche crew enjoyed sharing the day with several other non Porsche competitors who put down some quite respectable times in their own right. As usual these things are pretty closely fought events but after all the dust cleared it was Shane Wirthensohn in the trusty GT4 who took out 1st place honours. Closely followed by Peter Mayer and the ever present Johnny Fricke. Big thank you to Petr for sharing these photos with us.

Collingrove Track Attack Story: Tony Keynes Photos: Bob Taylor

PORSCHE

REPORT

July - Sept 2021

Heading to Collingrove is like driving back to my family home, being a Keynes from Keyneton. I love the wonderful countryside, rolling hills, big gums and lots of moss rocks. The only negative is the tedious drive compared to my drives from home to Adelaide in the late 60’s, but that seems to exist everywhere today. You have probably guessed I am an old fart.

Targa Rally’s, hill climb’s and on various racetracks around Australia. Believe me this is what Porsche’s are really made for.

When I purchased my first Porsche, a 987 Boxster S some 14 years ago, I promised myself I would do some fun events to both improve my driving skills and to really appreciate the specialness of a Porsche. I now have a 981 Boxster S and a 991.2 GT3 and have enjoyed driving them in

Arriving at 8.00AM, the day was very cold and damp which meant our early runs were all about re adjusting to this challenging piece of very narrow tarmac, taking a wet surface into consideration. We all had 4 runs (each run is approximately 34 to 45 seconds almost one car after another)

This event saw 6 Porsche’s in attendance, although there was another Porsche Club member there - David Edkins, who was driving his Locost Clubman and not his lovely blue Cayman R.

so there is always action on the climb unless there is an off. Although I can’t remember my PB, I am hopeful with some more hill time I can find another second or more. Woohoo for those with patience, the weather and the track slowly dried out, allowing times to drop considerably, plus due to lower numbers after lunch, remaining competitors had two extra runs making it 10 for the day. This climb is a SAFE challenge for anyone in their Porsche with everyone working together and helping each another to try and improve over the days runs. A very unique aspect of Collingrove is that passenger rides are available during the lunch break. No helmets and a recommended 80 to 85% effort. If you are thinking of trying a hill climb, this is a great way to get a feel of what it is actually like to be on the hill. Enjoy a lovely drive up to Collingrove, grab a Porsche driver at

lunch time and catch the Hillclimb Bug. Passenger rides are RARE in motoring events, take advantage of it. Collingrove has a relaxed and somewhat informal atmosphere, not too punishing on your car, builds your driving skills and most of all it is FABULOUS FUN with great camaraderie especially between Porsche owners. There is also a huge variety of vehicles on show. I thoroughly recommend driving your Porsche to Collingrove and enjoy a safe, engaging and fun form of motorsport.

Hillclimb #2: the Untold Story 4th July 2021 A story about people, cars, achievements, fun and comradeship. Sunday 4th of July saw a number of competitors take on Collingrove in varied conditions. It started with pouring rain, then drizzle and eventually broke into a beautiful sunny afternoon which saw times tumble. No one was going to set a PB on that day, the track conditions, temp and grip levels just weren’t right for it, but that didn’t stop anyone from giving it a good hard go. This event was different to past events. It had a different feel to it. The Porsche drivers present were all accomplished drivers in their own right…. PCSA Hill Climb Champions, a couple of category podium finishers at the State Hill Climb championships, PCSA Sprint & Motorkhana Champions, a Targa Tasmania Class Champion and multiple Targa Adelaide category podium finisher, Porsche Cup Competitors (the national category now known as Carrera Cup) and Historic/Touring Car Masters Competitor. To say these guys 38

can all drive is an understatement. The PCSA Hill Climb championship is run within the SCCSA Winter Cup series, so many other brands of cars were present too. While the competition within the PCSA is handicapped to level the playing field, the main SCCSA Winter Cup competition is split into various racing categories running from street registered cars, 2wd and 4wd categories, rally cars, muscle cars and dedicated hill climbing machines such as home builts and Formula Libre. It’s a real sight to see, hear and experience. Upon seeing the entry list from the PCSA, you would be forgiven to think this was the perfect formula for a “trading sheep station” day, however, the fact that it was Porsches against the rest of the world brought out a unity amongst the Club competitors, cheering each other on to take out their categories within the main competition. Not that they weren’t

doing their best to set good times, they were working together at the same time. The support from each and every PCSA individual there bonded us as a team, united in a common interest with our brand of cars, our highly competitive spirit, classy sportsmanship and our friendship. Comradeship is a good term to use; it captures and defines the environment on the day well. There was some comedy as well when a competitor in a car nicknamed Darth Vader forgot to turn his traction control back on after warming the tyres, on his first run, in the wet, make that VERY wet conditions. This led to a lawn mowing excursion across the grass with thankfully no damage. Not mentioning any names, but we hear the “low, fast and very well sorted Basalt Black 981 Boxster S” with all those mods, landed a permanent contract with Jim’s mowing! You can imagine the ribbing that occurred over that one for the day. The cheeky grins and girly giggles as the car returned to the carpark after the first run were priceless.

So, to define support for each other here are some sample “captures” of events for the day: • As normal, everyone wished everyone good luck on every run, and meant it, • Peter fixed Roger’s car after it broke down so Roger could beat him by a blink of an eye. Fun fact, it takes between 0.1 and 0.4 seconds to blink, with the average blink time being 0.15 seconds (one and a half tenths). Peter was stoked to get that close and he says it has left him a good goal for the next round. • Roger shared some good advice amongst the group helping each competitor come to grips with areas of the track to save time, including gear selections on specific corners, brake weight in certain areas etc….. Priceless info! • Several discussions were shared amongst the team regarding getting the

newer cars to “hook up” in the wet, which settings to use and how to read the feeling of grip to amend the driving style on the next run. • There were many other conversations and examples on the day, too many to list here, and while I like to talk, I’m not writing a book. We always recognise our PCSA Hill Climb competition but what we never hear about is how we went in the “Us vs the World” competition. So how did we do? The field had 61 cars compete across the various categories. • Fastest Porsche on the day with a 35.46 second run saw Roger Paterson encroach deep into the top 10 and taking out his category of Sports SC.

• Having set his goal to hit the top ten after finishing 12th at the last event, Peter Panopoulos landed a 35.64 to take out the 2WD road registered 2001 to 3500cc category – that’s twice in 2 Winter Cup comps in a row, as well as make the top 10. • Greg Keene took out the Sports Cars Closed 3001 – 6000cc category. • Norm Goodall took out the Marque Sports 1601-3000cc category. • The club was represented well. We should all be proud. If you enjoy your car and love the challenge of motorsport, as a club member, you should be joining us. Where else are you able to pick the brains of some of the best drivers in the club, in a supportive social environment, with people that are keen to help raise your awareness and help you learn the ropes? The reality is you won’t know how much fun it is until you come and experience it.

The Drive to Win 29th August 2021 Winning in motorsport competition is a combination of many things, but primarily includes, good car setup/suitability, driver skill and experience, a little bit of luck, some money always helps and a relentless drive for improvement. At the Collingrove Hillclimb in August the benefits of this level of commitment were ably demonstrated by our own Peter Panopoulos who achieved a very special result on the day.

PORSCHE

REPORT

This is how he did it: In a field of 107 competitors he was watching how many cars were coming off on Saturdays slippery track. The aggressiveness people threw in at a state championship round without thought surprised him. While conceding he often adopted a fairly aggressive approach in circuit racing himself, he didn’t feel the track conditions on the day were conducive to an aggressive driving style and

witnessed the most cars come off at an event that he had ever seen. Luckily, most came back on under their own steam but there were still several recoveries where cars either blew bits up or crashed out. The lateral grip in the corners just wasn’t there. Normally Peter aims to get on the gas very early in a corner but when he tried his normal driving style the back broke out, causing him to lose time. So he decided

to go against his normal instinct and adjust and delay getting on the loud pedal early and make time up on the way in to the corner instead of out to see what would happen. He was trail braking so late that on one run he stood the car on its front wheels, spun the back around about 20 degrees and kept going - that was into the entry of the bank at turn 2 and he commented “what a different feeling it was!” So he stuck to the game plan, found his time, and was rewarded by collecting first place and setting a new all time SA State Championships Class record (2001-4000cc 2WD Road Registered) in the process. Well done Peter.

First Porsche 911T

Story & Photos: Peter Wirthensohn

The Passion for Porsche I’m not sure when my infatuation with all things Porsche began but suffice to say it began early. My first cars were all VW beetles and perhaps their common origin led to my first Porsche purchase at the tender age of 21. I was working in the UK in the mid 70s as a young, newly graduated electronics engineer with EMI (amongst other things working as part of the development team for the first CT body scanners) and learnt that 911s were about a third of the price of similar cars in Australia. In addition, in those days you could bring a car back duty free if you owned and used the car overseas for at least a year or thereabouts. I duly purchased a red 1971 2.2 litre 911T for the princely sum of UKP 2,100, roughly $A 3,000 at the time. I also joined the Porsche Club of GB and made many friends including Chris Turner, a well known London Porsche mechanic, who subsequently assisted me greatly in sorting some of the mechanical issues with the car. My 4 years in the UK also afforded me many opportunities to enjoy Porsche related motorsports events including watching the dominant 935s in Group 5 races at Brands Hatch and Silverstone, even meeting Jochen Mass and Jacky Ickx and the RAC rally in the New Forest. Mass and Ickx

New Forest Rally REPORT

Pre-1975 Porsches did not utilise galvanised steel and like most cars of that vintage in the UK it suffered from some rust issues most of which I removed during my period in the UK. Sadly, despite my considerable efforts

to remove all signs of rust, I suspected that rust was likely to be an on-going issue on the car’s return to Australia, so sold the car locally for $9,000, but not before I purchased a blue 1971 2.2 Litre 911E for similar money. As you can see

from the photo of this car, my young son Shane (also a member of the Porsche Club) clearly took a liking to the car, which may account for his passion for Porsches as well. Soon after returning to Adelaide, I joined the local Porsche Club and after several years of active membership joined the committee along with Kaz Herbst, Tim Lynas and other well known veterans of the club. I reluctantly sold the 911E a few years later to make way for a more “family friendly” vehicle. The Porsche drought continued until the family moved to Germany in 1983 to take up a year long secondment to AEG Telefunken in Ulm on an Australian Army project. I contacted some old friends from the Porsche Club of GB and with their help found a 1976 Continental Orange 3.0 Litre Carrera in the UK, flew briefly over to inspect the car, and duly purchased, drove it back to Germany. We enjoyed the car, particularly on the autobahn and travelled all over Europe with our young son ensconced in the rear. While this was a great car, the 3 speed Sportomatic transmission did nothing for it and I took the opportunity to replace it with the 5 speed manual transmission while in Germany.

“How not to configure a Carrera” Sadly, the 3 Litre Carrera had to go to fund a significant extension to our house in Beulah Park, to make way for the arrival of yet another child. The hiatus continued for some time, partly due to taking up an International Sales manager position in Germany for 4 years with Telefunken in Ulm with 3 children in tow. 3.0 Carrera in Germany

My next Porsche was a MY2000 Boxster S, which was a most enjoyable car, particularly on a summer’s evening with the roof down. However, the car again awakened a 911 itch and the Boxster was sold to make way for a MY 2010 manual 997.2 Carrera S. While this car was great in standard form, as an aging engineer I developed an interest in “personalising” the car and generally tinkering. Some of the modifications undertaken included adding aero mods (a ducktail spoiler, diffuser and splitter), some minor suspension modifications (DSC controller module and slighter stiffer Bilstein B6 dampers), minor brake mods, a Short Shift kit, some exhaust mods (added Porsche Sports Exhaust and backbox bypass) and some cosmetic mods (Carrera Sports steering wheel etc.). Again, this was a fabulous car which I owned for some 8 years and only sold it to satisfy a bucket list ambition of purchasing a GT3. Incidentally, the car sold earlier this year (admittedly during the Covid era) for around $10K less than I purchased it some 8 years earlier – testimony, I contend, that not many cars enjoy such minimal depreciation!

At around the same time, my wife’s Audi Q3 was due for replacement and the new Macan model was about to be released. So we purchased the Macan in Miami Blue

and still own the car. And for a brief time, we owned three Porsches…but clearly we have a way to go to beat Lee Fulton’s record!

The search for a GT3 commenced initially with the aim of buying one of the very few 991.2 GT3 Touring versions sold in Australia (the 991 GT3 Touring was a manual without the “in your face” rear wing and scaffolding etc.). Having failed to convince the one local owner to sell me his Touring, I searched on-line and made offers on various interstate cars, only to be outbid by what I thought were crazy (Covid) prices.

On a personal level I am married to Janine and have 4 children and 7 grandchildren. Outside of Porsches my other interests include sailing and cycling (yes….a MAMIL). Beyond that I have recently joined the PCSA committee and hope to assist in organising the club events and meeting all members in due course. Happy motoring !

Porsche 356 on Skis in Antarctica

PORSCHE

REPORT

July - Sept 2021

PORSCHE

REPORT

Later this year, amateur rally driver Renee Brinkerhoff will race across her seventh and final continent by crossing 356 miles of Antarctica. She will try this feat in the same car in which she competed in the Carrera Panamericana; her 1956 Porsche 356A, which she has had specially outfitted for the planet’s southernmost clime. Brinkerhoff’s team Valkyrie Racing collaborated on the car’s development with Kieron Bradley, senior chassis design engineer at Lotus who himself held a record for the fastest overland trip to the South Pole. Bradley started by reducing the Porsche’s risk of plunging through the ice, which he did by expanding its footprint using skis in place of the front wheels, and tank treads on the rear. Despite adding weight, the mods cut the Porsche’s ground pressure per square inch to as little as 1.2 pounds—apparently less than four percent that of the stock vehicle. And should the unthinkable happen, they increase the Porsche’s buoyancy, too.

Skis, treads, and supporting mods are far from the only tweaks to the 356’s chassis, which has a roll cage and a crevasse bar with solar panels capable of generating 150 Watts. It can power an onboard 12-volt low-temperature air compressor, presumably used to fill the equipped four-ton bag jack for lifting the Porsche in soft snow. Near its rear-mounted engine is a winch point, and if it comes to abandoning ship, there’s a rear-window exit as well as cabin access to survival gear, water, and comms equipment. After Brinkerhoff’s 356-mile trip, she will attempt to set a blue-ice land speed record on the runway at Union Glacier, presumably after switching to the spiked ice tires her Porsche has been designed to accommodate.

Classic 356 on The Road to Rome 24th – 27th March 2021 The past and present of Porsche customer racing come together at a rendezvous in Rome. Marc Lieb drives one of the most important racing versions of the Porsche 356 and Herbert Linge revisits the birth of a legend. Piazzale Giuseppe Garibaldi. Marc Lieb raises a piping-hot espresso to his lips, savours it, and revels in the moment. Before him, the Eternal City bathes in the glowing dawn. It’s his first time in Rome, and he’s not alone. He leans against the beauty at his side: a Porsche 356 A 1600 GS Carrera GT with more than half a million kilometres on the odometer. Its official licence plate reads WN-V2 – and in the world of motor racing, this car is a legend. In its day, it started in all the important European road races and rallies, including classics such as the Mille Miglia in Italy, the 1,000 Kilometres of Nürburgring, and the Targa Florio in Sicily. The car can reach speeds of more than 200 km/h. Lieb is an overall winner at Le Mans and a former WEC champion. The two make a fast couple, that’s for sure. But

this story begins with a significant delay: 62 years, to be precise. Let’s turn back the clock. In 1959, the Liège–Rome–Liège rally was one of the most formidable road races in the world. More than 5,000 km nonstop. The speed restrictions set forth by the event holder, Royal Motor Union in Belgium, were impossible to meet even on the liaison stages. Of 104 starters, only 14 reached the finish, and none did so without incurring penalty points. The overall victors that year were Paul Ernst Strähle and Robert Buchet. They did alternating stints behind the wheel for a staggering 86 hours. It was the greatest triumph for Strähle, then one of the most prominent German private racers in a Porsche. And it was the greatest victory for this illustrious 356. The name of the rally, incidentally, was a misnomer in the 1959 running. Roman authorities no longer wanted racing cars in the city during holidays; as a result, the route was changed several times and the turnaround point was situated in what was then Yugoslavia.

But now the 356 A has reached the Italian capital. Lieb is in love. With the city, with the sound of the Carrera engine, and with the unpretentious handling of this gem of a car. He is well aware of its significance. After crowning his 14-year Porsche factory driving career with an overall victory at Le Mans and the WEC title in 2016, he shifted gears and got into customer racing management. His great role model: Herbert Linge. “Undoubtedly the coolest man I ever met,” says 40-year-old Lieb with unabashed admiration. Linge was born in 1928. He dedicated his entire working life to Porsche. After starting out as an apprentice in 1943, he became a race mechanic, a racing driver, established the customer service organisation in the US, and was ultimately a guiding light in development. He was also Steve McQueen’s double in the driving scenes in the film Le Mans, found the land for the Weissach testing grounds, and received the German Federal Cross of Merit as the founder of the ONS Staffel (Oberste Nationale Sportbehörde crew) – an organisation dedicated to safety in motor racing and a part of Germany’s motorsport governing body ONS, as it was known at the time. Linge knew all too well the importance of such efforts for greater safety in racing. “We drove Liège–Rome–Liège full bore, day and night, nothing was closed off – completely mad, and completely unimaginable today,” he says of the legendary rally. In 1954, he won it with Helmut Polensky. Later he contested this and many other road races together with his friend Paul Ernst Strähle. “You could only finish Liège–Rome–Liège as a good team,” says Linge. “We alternated about every three hours. You had to be able to sleep in the passenger seat. Strähle could

do it. At control points I would sometimes put on his hat and sign for him – he never knew a thing. I, on the other hand, barely got a wink of sleep. Rest eluded Linge not only because of the breakneck speed over narrow streets and gravel mountain passes. He was also tapped into the technical state of the 356 with every one of his senses. He knew every last screw. Linge had been a test-

driver for all of the early 356 cars. “They knew that I had some previous knowledge from motorcycle races as well, which is why they entrusted me with it. In the early days, we built three or four cars a day. After the test-drive, I had to report to Ferry Porsche that evening which of them were okay and which ones had to go back into the shop.” The factory racing and rally drivers caught wind of Linge’s skills as a mechanic, and by 1954 he was a sought-after second man

in long-distance races. “They said to Herr Porsche: ‘When Linge’s on board, he takes care of everything.’” The fact that the Weissach native was himself a top driver would soon be common knowledge as well. Plus, he was known for a driving style that was easy on the material. Even from the passenger seat, he called for gentle gear changes. “The synchroniser rings were tricky!” As a matter of course, Linge changed the brake pads four to five times over more than 5,000 km. “Before the mountain trials I would change the front ones at least. The car would pull when they were half-worn. We didn’t have disc brakes back then, but drums.” The venerable 125 PS, 1.6-litre engine with four overhead, vertical shaftdriven camshafts burned though spark plugs at a rapid clip. “Before each liaison stage, if we had a few minutes’ head start, I swapped out a plug.

It wasn’t possible to do more at one time or we would have lost our lead.” It’s instructive to consider the conditions in place back then: some road races were championship races, and the squads drove the 356 from Stuttgart to far-flung regions of Europe themselves entirely under their own steam. And then they drove back home. Those miles added up too. And the network of filling stations was by no means ubiquitous. Linge thought ahead: “On the special stages we always wanted to have as little fuel weight as possible in the car. Mechanics drove ahead in a VW bus and deposited 20-litre gas canisters on the side of the road at agreed locations. Just like that – no one stole them. We all supported each other. When others were having trouble, I helped them out.” That he himself needed help at some point was the foundation of his friendship with Paul Ernst Strähle.

Linge always had the backing of his bosses. So it came to pass that he was able to borrow a company VW bus over a weekend in 1952. When the bus broke down, he was pointed to the shop of the Strähle family in Schorndorf, and it was a lucky stroke: the junior boss Paul Ernst helped him get the vehicle back on the road. A few weeks later came the next chance encounter. On this occasion, using his VW Beetle, Strähle pulled Linge’s and his friends’ motorcycles out of a mud pit in which the squad had gotten stuck during a rally. It goes without saying that Linge told Strähle to get in touch if he could ever be of service in Porsche matters. In 1956, Paul Ernst Strähle, by then a seasoned driver behind the wheel, procured a used 356 – but was still not competitive. With his 1.3-litre engine, he didn’t stand a chance against the 356 cars that were already sporting the Carrera engine out

of the Porsche 550 Spyder. The new benchmark was set by the Porsche 356 A 1500 GS Carrera with 100 PS, a total weight of 850 kilograms, a top speed of 200 km/h, and a 0 to 100 km/h time of around 12 seconds. Strähle also knew that Porsche had a GS Carrera GT in the works. The GS stood for Gran Sport, GT for Gran Turismo. The planned GT version included numerous lightweight parts, a racing exhaust and, on request, a larger tank for long-distance races. Strähle was not in a position to afford any of the letters. But he knew Linge and found out that a rescue vehicle with the desired engine was for sale. The

suspension and transmission were also still in working order, though the chassis had suffered irreparable fire damage. The vehicle was actually slated to be stripped for parts. But then Strähle asked Porsche for a replacement chassis, which was then ordered from Reutter with Ferry Porsche’s blessing. Thanks to the assent from the top, Strähle received a pre-series variant of the GS Carrera GT in his desired colour of Adriatic Blue. “The gestation period of the 356,” as Paul Ernst Strähle, who died at the age of 83 in 2010, once called it. What was ultimately born was a race car that contained only the good stuff, and even that was relentlessly improved over

the years by the two friends. After finishing work, Herbert Linge would head over to the Strähle workshop to tinker away. In 1957, the new 1.6-litre Carrera engine was installed in the car with his assistance. Linge still exudes childlike glee when he says: “We always had the best material! Sometimes we were able to install parts that the factory hadn’t even finished testing. Shock absorbers and stuff like that.” As a test-driver, he was well aware of the advantages of certain components. In 1957, the two scored the victory for the 356 with the class win and a 14th-place overall finish in the Mille Miglia. Many more would follow before Strähle stopped racing in 1964.

Although Linge was not as well acquainted with every Porsche race car as with the 356 at that time, one thing is a point of emphasis: “Customer racing was always a priority. Every racing car type had to be available for sale. We immediately built 20 or 30 units – even the Porsche 917 was a customer car. That was very important to Ferry Porsche. Advertising was forbidden. He always told us: ‘Our calling card is racing’.” And racing is every bit as important for the brand today. Even in retirement, Linge followed Lieb’s career, from a standout driver in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland – which Linge had once headed – and then from customer racing to the factory team and, later, as he scored wins and titles all around the world. Lieb says, “I’ve learned things from Herbert every time we’ve met – his knowledge is an endless treasure trove.”

The qualified vehicle technology engineer looks in the rear-view mirror and indicates for the Colosseum. The large steering wheel in the 356 is surrounded by special instruments installed by Linge and Strähle. The marking at 3,500 rpm is still on the tachometer. The Carrera engine doesn’t like anything less, as Lieb has already discovered. “Porsche now builds between 250 and 300 customer racing vehicles a year, but the philosophy is the same as it was then,” he says. “It’s not just about selling cars; it’s about strategic project planning. Those who take an interest in a model – from the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport to the Porsche 911 RSR, as is used by the factory team – have more than just technical questions. They want recommendations for where to use it, they want to know which factory driver is available, and they want to know what technical support exists.”

Lieb points the 356 swiftly in the direction of the southern outskirts of the city. He swims through traffic in the priceless gem, shifting gently but rapidly; and always double-clutching on the downshift. Unlike in 1959, there are few tourists in the city. Passers-by wave; two police officers give a thumbs-up as the bella macchina hums past with its inimitable sound. The buildings of the Via Appia Antica function as a sound box. Lieb inhales deeply, as if he wanted to breathe in the more than 2,000-year history of the road. “Everything we are is an evolution of the past.” The 356 has arrived in Rome, and he has arrived in it. “500,000 km under the hood, the old seats, the cockpit – everything is different and yet so familiar. You drive off and feel immediately: this is a Porsche!”

Mezger Engine First off, the ‘Mezger engine’ moniker is a bit of a misnomer as legendary engine builder, Hans Mezger has been designing Porsche powerplants since the Sixties. However, in the 911 world, the term has become synonymous with the engine fitted to GT3s (up until the introduction of the 991 generation). Unlike the M96 and M97 motors with their ‘integrated dry sump system’ (the two-piece crankcase design is, in reality, little more than a modified wet sump), the M96/72 ‘Mezger’ engine utilises a true dry sump thanks to its roots in motorsport. The engine was initially designed for the twin-turbocharged 911 GT1 Le Mans racer, meaning that, to reduce oil surge (and a subsequently dangerous drop in pressure) during hard cornering, oil is harvested from the GT1-derived crankcase by two scavenge pumps. This oil is transferred to a separate, baffled oil tank (which is mounted to the engine) before oil pumps – one mounted in each cylinder head – pump the lubricating fluid through the various oil galleries. 56

PORSCHE

REPORT

The engine is very similar in design to the flat six found in the 962 prototype however, where that powerplant used separate cylinder heads for each cylinder, the M96/72 uses a single head per bank. The four-valve head’s design is derived from the water-cooled 959, although extensive work was needed to mate it to the 911 GT3’s cylinder size. In the 996 GT3 Mk1 the bore was 100mm, with a stroke of 76.4mm while, by the Mezger unit’s swansong in the 997 GT3 RS 4.0, the bore had been expanded to its maximum of 102.7mm, with the remaining 200cc of capacity increase achieved with an 80.4mm stroke. Thanks to its racing intentions, the GT3’s motor doesn’t suffer from IMS bearing failures like its M96 and M97 cousins. While the engine still uses an intermediate shaft to drive the camshafts, the oil pumps are driven directly by the crank. What’s more, the GT1-derived block has a different oil gallery design that ensures the IMS bearing remains lubricated at all times.

Variable Turbine Geometry Turbocharger use exhaust gas to power a turbine-driven pump that forces air into the intake manifold at a greater-thanatmospheric pressure (hence the term ‘forced induction’). The bigger the turbocharger, the greater the pressure entering the engine, resulting in a greater air/fuel mixture and more power. However, continually bolting on larger turbos in order to seek power gains leads to the turbocharger’s inherent fault: lag. In order to counter this, smaller turbochargers (with their inherently lighter turbines) take less force to spool up, resulting in increased response. Yet, due to their smaller size, they are unable to keep up with the engine’s demand for more air at greater speeds.

In order to provide the best of both worlds, though, Porsche has been using variable turbine geometry technology on its turbocharged engines since 2005. While this solution found its way into turbo diesel engines over 20 years ago, the higher exhaust gas temperatures found in Porsche’s forced induction petrol motors (around 1,000 degrees Celsius) made implementing this solution difficult. However, thanks to 21st Century material technology and Porsche’s use of an additional water-cooling system (with an after-run pump) made VTG possible on the first generation of 997 Turbo. Inside the body of a Porsche VTG turbocharger, sitting around the outside of the turbine, are a collection of guide 58

vanes. The position of these electronically controlled blades can be adjusted depending on the engine speed. At low rpm, the Motronic ECU system causes the guide vanes to be tilted until they are almost flat, creating a small gap through which the exhaust gas passes. By being forced through a small gap, the gas is accelerating, spinning the turbine with greater force than a non-VTG turbo. This enables the turbocharger to ‘spool up’ faster, resulting in improved low-

end response. Once the boost level has reached 1 bar (in the 997 Turbo), the guide vanes are opened via the electrically driven adjuster within 100 milliseconds. This creates a large area through which the exhaust gas is driven, improving the turbocharger’s breathing at high engine speeds and negating the need for a bypass valve. This allows the turbocharger to keep operating efficiently, resulting in the Turbo’s famous flat torque curve.

A Not so Foggy Dew Run Story: Chris Balwin Photos: Lee Fulton On a Sunday that was neither foggy nor dewy but lovely sunshine and a little warmth, Club members enjoyed a spirited and well organised club run into the Adelaide Hills. Lee Fulton did a splendid job organising the run that was well attended and commenced at the carpark of Feathers Hotel. At 7.45am The run proceeded up Greenhill Road and across to Norton Summit Road before heading towards Lobethal. Then it was across towards Uraidla and Carey Gully Road on many twisty and undulating stretches of road that saw some steep changes of elevation and plenty of opportunity for gear changes and braking / acceleration as we navigated the beautiful Hills roads. The run saw us back around Hahndorf and 60

towards Verdun before heading back along Bridgewater Road past Uraidla and back onto Greenhill Road to Feathers. At Feathers Hotel we all enjoyed a splendid breakfast and, as far as this writer knows, no one getting lost along the run, at least not accidently. Again, thank you to Lee and to all those keen Porsche owners who came out to enjoy a good run in the Adelaide Hills and the pleasant company of fellow Porsche owners, just days before SA went into forced Covid-19 lockdown on 20 July.

Flashback - USA Porsche 901 Preview Story & Photos: Car and Driver magazine Look familiar? It should; It’s obviously a Porsche, but what a difference. And it shares the new disc brakes with the 356-C. Wipe that drool off your chin; it’s not going to be ready for almost a year and it won’t be cheap when it gets here. We’re talking about the Porsche Type 901 (see photo) to be introduced after a long, rumor-filled gestation period, at the Frankfurt Auto Show. We still don’t know all there is to know about it. The engine is an air-cooled flat six of 1991 cc (80mm bore, 66mm stroke) with two chain-driven cams, one per bank, producing about: 140 SAE bhp at a rather high rpm (like 6500). Though torsion bars are retained as the spring medium, the suspension and steering are substantially al¬tered: front suspension is by wishbone with ball joints and rack and pinion steering; link-type suspension is used at the rear. The body shows obvious influences of the short-lived Abarth marriage and was actually designed with wind tunnel testing (myth has it that the original Porsche was—’taint true). It features a lot more glass area, especially at the rear skylight, and a lot more suitcase space up front. The new body doesn’t taper as much in the rear, making room for bigger passengers or more luggage (choose one; it’s not supposed to be a three-or four62

seater). Porsche owns sev¬eral patents on fiberglass coachwork and it was thought that this might be the time they’d try it, but so far the only plastic Porsche has been a forerunner of the proposed GT variant of the 901. And, Mabel, you won’t believe the price . . . (buzz-buzz, whisper-whis¬per) . . . . All we’re told is that it’s enough to buy Tippecanoe and a Carrera 2. Meanwhile, the “standard” model continues gamely on with enough changes to warrant a new designa¬tion (356-C, replacing the “B”). See the wheels on the 901? Same as on the 356-C. Lurking behind them, on all four wheels, are disc brakes. Porsche has claimed all along that its drum brakes are more than ade¬quate, but obviously feels out of step with clever marketing gimmickry. Together with Dunlop-licensee Alfred Teves (Ate), Porsche has added an innovation of its own to solve an old problem: the rear discs have lit¬tle drum brakes in the center (see illustration) for the hand-brake. Clever, these spear carriers, eh? The cylinder heads have been revised on the Super and S-90 for more torque at lower rpm and for five more bhp on the S-90. The Super cam has been modified for greater flexibility with no loss of power and the 60 bhp Normal engine has been dropped altogether. The turn-and-turn-and-turn heater

knob has at last been replaced by a lever inte¬grated with the ventilating controls panel. The rear springs have again been softened, the transverse compensator spring strengthened, the seats made firmer and the dashboard redesigned. Finally, a positive crankcase venti¬lating system has been fitted to meet with current legislation about that sort of thing.
