Have some PCQ Photos?
On Sunday 5th October 2014, Porsche will be the featured “Marque of the Year”. This will be another weekend away at RACV Noosa for PCQ members. This prestigious event is run by the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club and held at Lions Park Noosa Heads. This competition will be the venue of our own 2014 PCQ concourse competition and will in addition open our pristine Porsches to a larger, more competitive mix of premium car brands from around the world; all will be competing for outright titles. It will be an ‘Autofeast’ for car enthusiasts and another great reason to escape to a quite resort for the weekend. Contact Tim Place for more details.
On the evening of the 26th of July 2014, we will be holding our formal dinner at RACV Noosa to celebrate 40 active years for our club. Our illustrious past PCQ Presidents, along with our four PCQ Life Members will be amongst our many invited guests to participate in our 40th Anniversary function. I encourage all active and not so active PCQ members to join us for dinner to catch up with friends you may not have seen for years. For the evening, we are tracking down photographs that capture the spirit of our past 40 years; the people, the Porsches, the social days and the track days. If you have any mementos of bygone club

Please e-mail all photos to 40th@porsche-qld.org.au or ask us to contact you to arrange collection/ copying of your photos or videos. Your old and perhaps not so old photos will make our 40th Anniversary dinner (and our next club magazine) that much more memorable and will remind us all of our clubs great history, lifelong friends and of course, our beautiful Porsches that have collectively galvanised our vibrant club into what it is today.

EDITORS NOTES
This year is going to be a huge year for the club in nearly every respect, with all the 40th anniversary celebrations planned to place throughout the year. The magazine will most certainly be one of the main conduits for sharing information on upcoming events and letting everyone know about how the various events have been enjoyed by club members. I look forward to receiving many submissions for articles on these events and to hear what a great time you have had participating in them. There’s usually so much happening at these events, it’s very difficult for any one person to
capture all of the exciting things that occur. I am really very keen to hear from as many people as possible regarding their experiences; no matter how big or small the article is – even if it’s only a paragraph or two. So, if you’ve never submitted an article before, but either saw, heard or participated in something that you think others would love to read about or see in the magazine, please send it through to me.
Profile”, so if you’d like me to do an article for you, please let me know and I I’ll take you through what’s involved in preparing the story. Make sure to get out and get involved in our 40th Anniversary celebrations! I’ll see you there!
In addition to the anniversary celebration articles, I will still be seeking articles on “What’s in my Garage”, “My first Porsche” and “Member

2014 model 911 GT3’s Recall Notice Porsche Cars Australia has contacted all five customers who have so far taken delivery of their new 2014 model 911 GT3 in order to have their engines inspected. Porsche is informing all owners of the 2014 model 911 GT3 directly to recommend they stop using their cars. The company is offering to pick up the vehicles and take them to a Porsche Centre immediately. Safety is the number one priority at Porsche, and the company takes its responsibility seriously. Engine damage occurred in two vehicles in Europe and the vehicles then caught fire. No traffic incident or personal injury occurred in either case. Porsche has decided to inspect all 785 delivered vehicles worldwide. Porsche is currently investigating the cause and will provide further information as soon as possible. 7

As we go to press, the first of the Motorsport events will have been run and at the time of writing, the numbers are looking good. We are trying a new format this year following feedback received from the recent survey, from which we received 108 responses. We will summarize the results and circulate them shortly. The cost and participation remain the main hurdles for us to overcome this year and to this end, we are looking at some lower cost events such as midweek and half day sprints. We are also establishing relationships with other clubs and to date have had cooperation from the BMW club and the HRCC, which is very encouraging. We will attend the HRCC summer track day at Morgan Park on the 15th and 16th of February and I believe several cars are going up for what promises to be an excellent event, as they offer training on day one and sprints on the second day. In addition, several members from the BMW club will attend our first event at Lakeside. Also as a result of the survey, we will be

providing more low speed events such as Autocross and Happy Laps for those wishing to get a taste of motorsport and experience the potential of their cars, in a safe and controlled environment. The competition rules will remain unchanged this year. The classing system relies on the honesty of the participants to correctly state the power and weight ratings for their car, on which the competition classes are based. So I ask that these be reported accurately. On a separate, but related matter, I believe the club owns a set of scales for weighing vehicles. If you know where they are, can you please give me a call so that they can be made available to interested members? We will also be applying stronger focus on safety this year and will be providing orientation and training to new entrants where it is required. I strongly recommend that those thinking of entering the clubs motorsport activities for the first time to obtain experience through one of

the providers of advanced driving courses that will be available at each event. If we can put together a group who are interested, a discount can probably be negotiated. Due to the amount of work involved with setting up track days and the requirements of the tracks, we will need to move the cut-off date for entries out from the present “day before at 5pm�, to a few days out so that we can meet deadlines etc. This will be instituted for our next event. I look forward to a fun and safe year and as a club, we are only as good as the participation of our members. I value any and all feedback so that our track days can be made more userfriendly. So please feel free to contact me at any time.

Le Mans 2014 Porsche 919
The new Porsche 919 Hybrid is celebrating its world premiere for the top category of the 2014 World Endurance Championships (WEC) at the Geneva International Motor Show. The innovative hybrid prototype will be joined by the Porsche 911 RSR at the Porsche exhibition area in Geneva, as well as at all eight races of the WEC series, the highlight of which will be the 24 hours of Le Mans. Matthias Müller, Chairman of Porsche AG: “Crucial in the development of the Le Mans

prototype were the newly created and revolutionary racing rules for this class as they relate to energy efficiency. In 2014, it will not be the fastest car that wins the World Endurance Championship series and the 24 hours of Le Mans, rather it will be the car that goes the furthest with a defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that carmakers must overcome. The 919 Hybrid is our fastest mobile research laboratory and the most complex race car that Porsche has ever built.” The exceptional efficiency of the Porsche 919 Hybrid is the result of a carefully
balanced overall concept. The sum of all of its individual components forms an effective unit: from the combustion engine, to the energy recovery systems, chassis and running gear, aerodynamics and driver ergonomics. The combustion engine is a compact, V-four petrol engine that also serves as a load-bearing member in the chassis. The engine has a two litre displacement, direct fuel injection, single turbocharger and revs up to 9,000 rpm. Power is around 500 hp (368 kW) in what can be seen as a frontrunner in future downsizing engine technology.
In addition, the Le Mans 919 Hybrid prototype has two energy recovery systems. Fundamentally new here is a system that recovers thermal energy from exhaust gases via an electric generator driven by the exhaust gas stream. The second hybrid system has the functionality familiar from the 918 Spyder. Here, a generator on the front axle utilises braking phases to convert kinetic energy into electric energy. Lithium-ion batteries serve as the energy storage medium. When the driver accesses this energy, an electric motor drives the front axle. This makes the 919 Hybrid an

all-wheel drive vehicle, albeit temporarily. A new Porsche team of over 200 employees was formed to develop and implement the Le Mans prototypes at the development centre in Weissach. Friedrich Enzinger, Head of LMP1: “Within two and a half years, we built the infrastructure, assembled our team and put this highly complex race car on the track. We have the greatest respect for the lead our competitors have in racing experience. Our objective in the first year is simple: to finish races and be competitive.�
Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) will share driving duties in the Porsche 919 Hybrid with starting number 14. Car number 20 will be driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia).

Social Drive Day
Article and Photos by Phil Holzberger I’ll admit it’s been quite a while since I ventured out for a club drive day. The last time we drove to Canungra (from memory) and the trip included an economy run. I recall something about being in a Porsche weighing 2,300kg, trying to keep up with the GT3’s and using most of its 600hp – well, we were bound to be embarrassed at the final consumption reveal. So for the last couple of years, I’ve restricted myself to being the annoying prick in the British sports car at the club track days. Given the later start to racing this year has given me the chance to broaden my club involvement and what a great day it was; albeit I was still the annoying prick in another British built sports car. I’m not saying that I’m an ‘Anglophile’ or anything, but there is definitely something about the lady inside the satnav in English cars. My girl I’ve named Liz. She has a sultry, upper class accent with just a hint of naughty private school background. Even when she is telling me to do things I know I shouldn’t - well it’s very hard to say no. On the other hand, the Fraulein in my other car is much more dominating, more along the lines of do what she says or she might invade the controls. As homage to Dr Ferdinand I’ve called her Portia. And that reminds me, my first ever extra marital affair with the mysterious lady of the dashboard was back in my HSV days. Her name was Sheila. Satnav’s were in their early days and Sheila had a vague idea of where I wanted to go, but was not always too sure how to get there. I think that sometimes she was jealous of Diane and the only way she could think to separate me from my wife was via a 2,000km detour. Thinking back to Sheila, in contrast to my current harem and I’m sure she would have been happier in the back seat than up front? Anyway, I digress; the Woodford Drive Day. We met as usual at Porsche Centre Brisbane, where Donna Beard had things well in control with maps etcetera, to make sure we could all arrive at the appropriate place and time. Stuart Brunton had the misfortune of his Porsche

“failing to proceed”, so PCB very graciously took his car in for repairs and gave him and Sue a demo Cayenne to use for the weekend. I must try that myself. Maybe ride the pushy over to Newstead, blow a tyre and then try for a 991 Turbo for the week? Our first stop was planned for Esk and navigating 15 Porsches (plus a couple of ringins) through city traffic is always fun. Everyone was much better behaved than I recall from previous trips, so Dave Beard’s ‘pep talk’ about “responsibility” (boring) and “having the club on display” (killjoy) must have worked. For my part, I did my best to dispel the public image people have of Aston Martin drivers and at least kept the exhaust bypass switch open all the way. Approaching Esk, Diane called ahead to the Nash Gallery Café to order coffee for us in her name, so as to speed up the inevitable delay of 40 odd people arriving at once. How the staff
did mock me for fronting at the counter and saying I was the order for Diane. That was until I convinced them that was indeed my name (explained as spelt DYAN), as it was the old Gaelic spelling and a constant embarrassment to me for my not inconsiderable years on this earth. Thought that might get me a freebee, but no. We thought we had lost a few on the way, but it turns out they were attracted to the antique shops in the Esk CBD. Leanne Whillett was seen to be measuring up a very fetching Grandfather clock with which to ride shotgun for the remainder of the run. No mention of how Craig was to travel post Esk though? So there we sat, enjoying a bright, cool summers day until we were 20 minutes shy of our lunchtime ETA for Woodford – which according to Liz (you remember her, nice British girl, questionable morals) was 90 minutes up the road via our planned scenic route. Change of plans, go straight there, caution to the wind,

right foot to the firewall. Which was a good theory, but for the traffic and tarmac patches that are the Brisbane Valley highway. A cattle truck was particularly troubling us. For my part, the speed it travelled only seemed to maximize the distance between double line stretches. For Diane, the sight of all the young cows crammed in like they were in cattle class made
her feel uneasy. I assured her that because of drought conditions out west, they were merely being driven to a nice agistment retreat for their summer holiday. Unfortunately, the truck turned into the Kilcoy abattoir, which I failed to convince Diane was a French term for a bovine day spa.
Soon after, we arrived to a rousing welcome at the Woodford Golf Club. Thanks to a big spread in the local paper (featuring the smiling dial of our esteemed club Prez), the WGC was having its biggest Sunday on record. Pride of place on the front lawn was given over to the Porsche fleet and so, much like my cars builders forefathers in 1915 at the Gallipoli Peninsula, we withdrew a respectful distance. The locals were out in force, the club restaurant was full and the local musical talent was in fine voice. The club ran a people’s choice award for the best Porsche. There must be at least a few Porscheophiles in Woodford, for they chose a beautiful 1973 RS Carrera as their most loved example. Not sure who the owner was (not a member?) or if it was a genuine ’73 RS, but it sure looked the part. So all in all a good day. The next outing is to Salt near Kingscliffe on Sunday 23rd March. Donna is sure to set a challenging drive via the hinterland, so make sure you come along. Maybe we can swap navigators, sort of “satnav’s in the bowl”, I know Liz would be keen.

The Boxter and Cayman GTS Released
24
PORSCHE
NEWS
The two most powerful and fastest mid-engine sports models from Porsche are ready and raring to go: with uprated engines and adaptive PASM chassis, the Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS set new benchmarks for sportiness in their segment. Uniquely enhanced front and rear body work, blackened bi-xenon headlights – with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) as standard – and exterior lettering in silky gloss black are subtle, yet unmistakable features of the new top models. The name says it all: at Porsche, “GTS” stands for Gran Turismo Sport and has promised outstanding Porsche performance ever since the legendary 904 Carrera GTS dating back to 1963. With the new two-seaters, Porsche is renewing its commitment to genuine sports cars for both the race track and everyday use. The six-cylinder boxer engines fitted in the new top GTS models are based on the 3.4-litre engines from the Boxster S and Cayman S respectively. Thanks to optimised tuning, they now deliver an additional 15 hp or 11 kw. This means the Boxster GTS now has an output of 330 hp (243 kW), whilst the Cayman GTS delivers 340 hp (250 kW). The torque has also increased by 10 Newtonmetres in each model (370 Nm Boxster GTS; 380 Nm Cayman GTS). What’s more, the Sport Chrono package is a standard feature on both mid-engine sports cars. This means that in conjunction with the optional Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) and the active Sport Plus button, the Boxster GTS sprints from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, whilst the Cayman GTS is a tenth of a second faster. In regards to maximum speed – measured with the standard manual six-speed transmission – the Boxster is the first of the new premium roadsters to top the 280 km/h mark, with a top speed of 281 km/h. At 285 km/h the Cayman is even faster. The new top models are the first mid-engine two-seaters from Porsche to be certified according to the Euro 6 standard and with this measuring method, they achieve an overall fuel consumption with PDK of 8.2 L/100 km (9.0 L/100 km with manual transmission). The Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS combine top driving dynamics with undiminished ride comfort and exclusive features. For example, the combination of PASM and the Sport Chrono package as standard enables the driver to switch between progressive sportiness on the one hand and long-distance comfort on the other; all at the press of a button. The tyres measuring 235/35 at the front and 265/35 at the rear on 20-inch Carrera S-wheels provide the perfect setup for both. Both twoseaters come with sports seats and leather interiors as standard. Like other GTS models from Porsche, they are both refined with Alcantara styling elements. With the new models, Porsche is now extending the GTS principle to the Boxster and Cayman. Like the Cayenne GTS and Panamera GTS, these are extremely sporty top models that stand for superior driving dynamics in their segment.

PORSCHE

The combination of letters originates from the 904 Carrera GTS, a race car dating back to 1963 that could also be registered for use on public roads. In the 1980s and 1990s the 924 GTS and 928 GTS cultivated this principle. It was reborn in 2007 in the form of the Cayenne GTS and was subsequently also implemented in the 911 series and the Panamera. The new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS will be priced from $146,000 and $161,400 respectively, with Australian deliveries commencing in August. Article and Photos courtesy of Porsche Cars Australia

Round 1 - Lakeside
Story by Ian Gall
Photos by Sheldon Arkinstall & Jack Kieseker The first round of the 2014 Porsche Club Queensland motorsport competition got underway on the first of February at Lakeside, with 34 sprinters and 10 “Happy Lappers” enjoying the delights that Lakeside has to offer. By all accounts a good, fun day was had by all and it seems that some members were surprised at the number of runs that were completed on the day. As a result, this has shown that half-day events can be successful when we have the organisation done in a timely fashion. The key change that has brought this about has been our new event entry format which requires that entries must be finalised a week before the event. We will be continuing with the half-day format for coming events; the next two of these will be mid-week events. This Round was also the inaugural running of an “Autocross” on the driver training track. Approximately 15 of the sprinters tried their skills on the Autocross track and this also was well received and from what I saw, the format tested the skills of some experienced drivers on
the tight driver training track. There have been calls for this type of event to be incorporated in the competition and I would appreciate some feedback on this. The program for the day was in direct response to the feedback received from the recent survey and it was good to see members coming out to experience a drive on a racetrack. I have had a couple of enquiries since seeking further information on the next steps. Unfortunately there were no takers for the training/orientation offered, despite quite a few responses in the survey from members wanting this at track days. We also opened the event to other clubs and had three members of the BMW club attend, one of those being their Motorsport Director, Kristian Steenstrup. A member of the Historic Racing Car Club (HRCC) was also in attendance. Each enjoyed the day and will advertise to their respective clubs on the merits of chasing Porsches. Unfortunately they weren’t able to catch many!
The day was run by QR and Doug Chapel, who delivered a comprehensive briefing on Lakeside and its challenges. Participants received 5 runs before lunch, with no major incidents other than one excursion on to the beach at turn one, resulting in no damage sustained other than pride. The ‘Save of the day’ award went to Nicole Duffell, who after being coached to use third gear rather than second into ‘Hungry’ corner again discovered the performance of number 403 when entering the main straight at higher speed. Nicole had a good view of both sides of the track before continuing on her way. However, this was followed by a quick trip to the pits for some wardrobe adjustments, then back to the track. All in all, it was a successful day, so spread the word if you enjoyed it and encourage those who are thinking about it to come out and have a go.

New Member Profile
| Greg Bishop
Hello, my name is Greg Bishop and have been a member of the club since the middle of last year without owning a Porsche. As of January, I have rectified this discrepancy and, after much searching, have a Silver 2002 model 996 C2. The car was rescued from Sydney and has already proved its worth along the Thunderbolts way from Gloucester to Armidale on route to its new home in New Farm. I have just ticked over 21 years of marriage to a wonderful lady, who has graciously accepted the new love of my life, and have two terrific teenage girls. I am looking forward to meeting other members as well as learning more about my car and how to get the most out of it.
New Member Profile
| Grant Wales
Hi. My name is Grant Wales and I work for Nova Systems, a professional services provider. I purchased my blue 1989 944 Turbo a couple of years ago, with the intention to take it on the track (it’s taken a while, but nearly there… ;-) ). Been married for 18 years to Manuela and we have a 13 year old son called Kye. Over the last 6 months, I’ve been attending most of the PCQ track days to have a look and chat to members on how it all works (everyone has been friendly and helpful, so thanks guys!). Looking forward to attending the various events that PCQ offers.
New Member Profile Hi, my name is Taavi Orupold. I recently purchased a Boxster S, my first Porsche. I joined the club so as to better understand the nuances of my new toy and to create friendships with like minded people. The last time I purchased a car was more than 30 years ago (but recently I have had a couple of leased VW products, the last being an Audi TT Roadster). All my recent purchases have been Land Rovers. I am currently a member of the Land Rover Owners Club of Brisbane and in the past I have been an active member of other off-road clubs including being a registered trainer. I am married to Liz and we live in Woolloongabba. My three kids are “grown up” and have long left home. I work for a multi-national Danish company and I am the Global Product Manager for a ground breaking gravity separator for the minerals industry. I would like more time to enjoy my vehicles but work takes up a lot of my time (I get to see a lot of mines in less than desirable locations around the world). Liz and I hope to able to attend as many club nights and events as possible. Attached are 3 photos - Myself - The D3 on top of Big Red on last trip across the Simpson Desert - And the Boxster, an hour after leaving the Brisbane Porsche Centre.

BAHNSTORMING AUSSIES!
Story and photos by Geoff Hewitt
The Fatherland is famous globally in a number of interesting ways – beer steins and pretzels, lederhosen and strange music, an unfortunate tendency for starting major wars, being home to three or four of the highest quality brands in the automobile world, and of course autobahns. It was with great anticipation that, 26 years after visiting England, Scotland and Wales and deciding to “leave Europe for another day”, Toni and I headed to Frankfurt for five weeks in Germany. “Why Germany?” was the question asked by pretty much all our family and local friends, but fellow Porsche enthusiasts didn’t need to ask…the Porsche factory and Museum, the great motorways and mountain roads, driving the Nurburgring….
197km/h in the E class in the fast lane, moments later flashed from behind by an Audi SUV who shot past us. Flashing lights is the accepted way to ask those in front to clear the lane and you must oblige promptly. Faced with the chance to drive Germany’s many great roads for four weeks, we decided it was a great opportunity to play amateur motoring journalist and try out some of their local bahnstormers. Sadly, Mrs Hewitt’s packing habits, including no less than four large coats (“Its going to be WINTER in EUROPE!!!”) eliminated any chance of hiring the new 991 series 911 from hire company Sixt, who proudly boast its availability in all the major airports, so we decided to give the German sedans a run. Week 1 with an Audi A5 Sportback, week 2 in a Mercedes E class, week 3 in a BMW 5 series and week 4 (after being joined by another couple who had taken Toni’s packing tips and doubled it for good measure), a VW 9 seater Caravelle. Contrary to popular belief, not many of Germany’s Autobahns have open speed limit. We did about 4,000 kilometers and my estimate
34
PORSCHE
NEWS
is about 40% have the much searched for blank speed limit sign, but the remainder are limited to 130KPH, or signed at 130 at least. The German police do not seem to have been injected with the same ‘spoil sport’ juice that is administered liberally in Police Academies across our country, so if you stay under about 150-160 you are pretty safe. Actually that’s not fair – the big difference is the quality of the roads. The German police would not let us drive fast here either. You will struggle to finds any roads in Australia of equal standard to the Autobahns and it is this which in part at least determines where the open speed limit applies. If a road is not perfect – and I mean Brisbane Airport runway perfect – it will have limits in place.
Cruising in the middle lane at 145km/h, and being blown away by a Transit van doing at least 40km/h faster in the left (fast) lane (later we found the VW very stable at 160!!). Not surprisingly, we were a little daunted as ensconced in our new Audi and having mastered the not insignificant challenge of converting the GPS from German to English (when all the instructions on how to do so were in German), we tentatively crept out of the underground garage at Frankfurt Airport and were almost instantly swept into very heavy traffic going somewhere much faster than I would have liked, even if I had wanted to go wherever it was we were going! Thanks to adrenalin induced Mark Webber style reflexes on my side of the car and hysterical gesturing and driving advice issued in her newly acquired “Chipmunk with testicles stuck in a tree fork” voice from her side of the car, we survived the first few minutes of madness! From then on it was plain sailing. The Audi served us well. It gave decent power, whilst using almost no fuel, but in fairness to the others, it lacked that little something special.
The BMW was probably the best of the three to drive – best power, best brakes and best handling, but seemed somewhat ‘old hat’ when compared to the new series E class, which I must admit I was very much taken with. It excelled in every aspect - except one, Toni was not a fan of its GPS, which was poor against either of the other cars. It also caused me a moment of considerable embarrassment at the service station when, after letting me admire the low noise levels and strong performance of its modern diesel engine for the past 960km, it steadfastly refused to let me fill it with diesel and after three failed attempts to insert the nozzle, it finally announced in tiny letters inside the fuel
filler cap that it actually preferred 95 octane – petrol! And I consider myself to be reasonably mechanically minded. It just goes to show how good the Audi and BMW diesels of today are, that you can move from diesel to petrol engines and not detect the difference! Try moving your Mercedes from the diesel bowser to the petrol one without most of the one to two hundred German bystanders sniggering at you and wondering how we ever won the war. Thankfully, I had been practicing my American accent for just such an occasion, so their undoubted admiration for Aussies is still intact! Driving the Autobahns is exhilarating. The standard of the roads, the local cars and the German drivers is very high. The speed of your own car is in your control, but don’t venture into the fast lane for long, unless you are comfortable at around 200. Germany is a very pretty country and a great place to see by road. I recommend it as one of the great driving experiences and certainly one to be added to the bucket list!

Club Night- McElrea Motorsport
Story and Photos by Sheldon Arkinstall
Our club for February was held at Mc Elrea Racing at Yatala (visit www.mcelrearacing. com). The night was a huge success, with over 50 members in attendance. The main draw card for the night was the appearance of four brand new 991 GT3 Cup Cars that had on just landed in the country, along with special guests, Carrera Cup drivers Alex Davison and Shay Davies. The ‘Opener’ for the night was a presentation by Andy McElrea (Team Principal), who gave a great over of the products and services offered by Mc Elrea Racing which include:
36
•
General vehicle performance tuning;
•
Sales of Techart performance products;
•
Motorsport preparation;
•
High performance car mods; and
•
The No Second Chance (N2C) program for school kids.
PORSCHE
NEWS
Of particular interest is the N2C program (See website). N2C is program started by Mc Elrae Racing (as a result of tragic events such as the death of Paul Stanley – ‘One punch can kill’ program) that visits schools throughout Queensland and presents real life stories to school kids that demonstrate how much their lives can be impacted when making decisions involving alcohol, violence and hooning on the streets. The program has been developed to demonstrate that the choices that people (particularly school-age kids) make sometimes have a MASSIVE ripple effect and can completely change their lives and the lives of others. They do this by giving the students real life examples of such situations in an attempt to get them to think before acting. Following on from this, the crowd was further entertained by Alex Davison who provided a detailed overview of the products and services offered by their new company called Tech8, the local resellers of Techart products. Tech8 had a very impressive Cayenne outside the showroom to display the quality of their offerings and what can be achieved with their product.
The final presentation of the night was provided by Shay Davies. Shay shared with members his thoughts and experiences with the new 991 GT3 Cup Car and compared its performance and abilities with the out-going 997 counterpart. In addition to the very informative and interesting presentations, Mc Elrea Racing also had a number of very interesting cars present in their workshop, including exFormula 1 and AI GP cars. All-in-all, it was an excellent club event and well worth the drive down to Yatala for the night.

Round 2 - Mid-Week Sprint - QR
Story and Photos by Ian Gall
Round Two of the 2014 competition was held on Wednesday, 12th of April at Queensland Raceway. It was the first of the “Mid-week” sprints and was a trial for future events. Twenty-three drivers participated and we achieved five runs on the Clubman course and two on the National track with approximately twenty minutes of open track at the end of the day for those who wanted just a little more. A fun day was enjoyed by all and it appears that the mid-week format was a success. Round Three will be held at Lakeside on Friday April 4th; this will also be an afternoon sprint. No major incidents we reported or observed
on the day, however there were a couple of excursions into the rough, when drivers ran out of talent at turn four on the clubman circuit. One motorsport Director, who will remain nameless, took to the track after his run group had left and due to a poor positioning of marker cones (my story and nothing to do with a ‘seniors’ moment) decided that the sprint track was a better one to run on, resulting in a couple of quick times being recorded before Doug Chappell was observed waiving frantically from the wall. Ah well, such is life.
Best times in Classes where there was more than one vehicle running were:
Anthony D’Endrea had an eventful day, with his tow vehicle expiring on the way out and having to be rescued before making it to the track and still managing to get some runs in.
As numbers were good and the cost is less for mid-week events, we managed to cover costs and will look at a price reduction for the Lakeside event.
