MOTORSPORT TYRE SPECIALISTS All Brands of Road and Race tyres Specialist Advice on all things motorsport

It was a pleasant surprise last month when Michael Paine our PCQ Club Membership Manager reported to the Management Committee that year on year, PCQ memberships were up approx. 10%. We have been growing for a number of years but that was positive news and a testament to not only the Porsche brand but the work of the committee organising our monthly events and the support from our members. Be that our track days, social drive days, monthly club nights and organising food and drinks, editions of our PCQ magazine through to organising our themed xmas party’s.

One area we have been working hard is rebuilding our club motorsport activities. On Sunday the 22 November 2015 we held the last round of the club championship after a tumultuous year in our clubs motorsport endeavours. Too much backstory for here but we are certainly on the right track and focusing on our 2016 Club Championship. Sunday had over 50 entries (delivering a profit to the club

of about $1000) representing a wide range of club cars and many first timers. No track day incidents and great to see smiling faces trackside that had been absent over the past few years – mine included. Greg McWhinney had arranged a PCQ social drive day for the 22nd November that included a stopover visit to our PCQ track day. The vibe trackside was reminiscent of ‘the ole days’ which was what we were hoping for as we lay down the foundation for next season. Getting our track days pointing in the right direction has not been easy so power to Bill Black and his subcommittee who have taken on the challenge for 2016 and early signs are track day numbers will be back. So keep an eye out in 2016 for trackday sprints, hill climbs, 400m shootouts, driver training and motorkhanas.

As we head off for our xmas break may I once again suggest you spend some quality time on our glorious tourist roads. So many great

open roads to explore in Queensland’s perfect weather. Just grab the keys to your Porsche at dawn and head out to serenity. Nothing is quite as relaxing as having nowhere to go, no one to call with no one expecting you anytime soon - just following the endless curbs listening to that engine. *Shivvver*

I wish each and every one of our Porsche Club Queensland families a safe and relaxing xmas and I Iook forward to seeing you in the new year - as we have quite a full year planned. I would like to also thank our PCQ Management Committee - past and present - and their very patient partners who make our 500 club members experiences what they are month in month out. Thank you.

Dave Beard Club President

MOTORSPORT

The rebuilding of Club Motorsport has started on a very positive note with over 50 entrants and a small profit from the November sprint at QR. An article and results from this event are also in this edition.

of classing with scrutiny by Greg, Eckhard, Phil, myself and consultation with the driver if required. This will also be part of a simpler entry form process and eliminate any race number confusion.

The next stage in the rebuilding process is to run a viable motorsport calendar for 2016 and restore some integrity to a competition worthy of the Porsche marque. This will only be achieved with honesty, cooperation and good sportsmanship from members entering next year’s events. It is hoped that incidents and poor decision making which have led to so much unrest in the club over the past few years are a thing of the past. With some cars moving up and down classes like the lift at Myers moves up and down floors and with entry form power and weight figures resembling something written by the Brothers Grimm, a simple motorsport registration form will be required with driver and car details. It is hoped that this will overcome the thorny issue

As we are unsure of what the entrant numbers will be next year, we have booked “slots” at QR and Lakeside Street and Open Sprints. This was to ensure we didn’t miss out on securing dates and also a way of reducing costs and returning motorsport to profitability. The down side is we are limited to 40 entrants at QR and only 30 at Lakeside for each round. If entry numbers grow and we look like exceeding these limits, particularly at Lakeside, we may have to return to stand alone events if suitable alternative dates are available. If so we will endeavour to share the event with another car club to cover costs. Morgan Park has been booked for two sprints next year, with the MX5 Club joining us in March.

FROM

THE

SOCIAL

Hi everyone it’s great to see membership is growing and supporting so many social events.

Since my last letter we’ve had several social events across October which again have been very well attended.

With over 30 cars, on show at this year’s Noosa Beach Car Classic – PCQ was the second largest club on show after the Jaguar Club of QLD which was this year’s Marque 2015 and had over 60 cars on show.

Some of us met up at the BP North Bound for an early morning social drive – while most drove up very early to gain an easy park inside the Lions Park, it was a lot of fun on the day with several new members attending their first social event, and others taking the PCQ Concourse very seriously with beautiful presented vehicles.

Porsche wins Targa High Country, successful debut for Cayman GT4 in fourth

Australia. Matt Close has taken his Porsche 911 GT3 to victory in the 2015 Targa High Country tarmac rally event, which also featured a strong debut for Jim Richards’ Porsche Cayman GT4.

Close and co-driver Cameron Reeves claimed victory in the prized Showroom class, winning by an impressive two-and-ahalf minutes in his newly acquired 911 GT3.

The 911 GT3 set the pace in the Showroom class, finishing ahead of a McLaren 650S and Ford Mustang Shelby GT after Sunday’s afternoon’s final ascent of Mount Buller.

Equally as impressive was the performance of Richards and co-driver, Barry Oliver.

The experienced duo placed fourth in the Showroom class, a mere three-and-a-half minutes from the leading 911 GT3 and less than half-a-minute from a podium result.

Richards previously campaigned a Porsche Cayman S in tarmac rallies, with the 2015 Targa High Country marking the first competitive outing for Richards in the Cayman GT4.

“The Cayman GT4 is perfectly suited to these Targa events; fast, well balanced and an incredible car to drive,” said Richards.

“To be as close to the GT3, McLaren and Mustang as we were is testament to the performance of the Cayman GT4. It does everything perfectly and is an absolute pleasure to drive on an event like this.”

Meanwhile, impressive,

Close was thrilled by his and unexpected, rally win.

“The car was faultless. As a stock standard road car, which is how we raced it, it performed fantastically,” said Close.

“Taking the win actually surprised us. We certainly didn’t enter the event with the expectation, or intention, to win; rather it was a shake down for next year’s Targa Tasmania.

It is such a strong and hugely competitive car that we were able to claim a convincing victory over strong competition. We came with no service crew and didn’t have to work on the car all event. We didn’t even take a wheel off it.”

“We’re going to Targa Tasmania to win. We now have a couple of hundred kilometres of competitive testing under our belt so I look forward to campaigning the 911 GT3 at the challenging Tasmanian rally.”

Porsche Cars Australia

Porsche was also victorious in the Classic Outright classification, with Tasmanian Pete Nunn taking a convincing class win in his 1985 Porsche 944 Turbo.

Porsche’s presence at the Victorian event was strengthened by the addition of 36 customer cars participating in the Porsche Tour.

The customer programme allowed Porsche owners to drive on the closed roads of Targa High Country ahead of each competition stage in their own road-going sports cars. The wide range of customer Porsches in the Tour included the Macan, Cayenne, Boxster, Cayman and 911 models – including the very same 911 GT3

NOOSA BEACH CLASSIC CAR CLUB INC. To David Beard President Porsche Club Queensland Dear David On behalf of the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club, I would like to sincerely thank the Porsche Club of Queensland, for once again supporting the Noosa Beach Classic Car Show.

Your support is very much appreciated and the large number of Porsche cars you brought to the event, contributed significantly to the overwhelming success of the show.

This year we had record numbers of both Entrants and Spectators along with the exceptional Noosa weather.

Thanks also goes to your members who attended the Cocktail Party which I believe was an improvement on last year with more people in attendance and a very social atmosphere.

I hope that your members enjoyed the day/ weekend as much as we did.

We would like to continue our relationship and invite PCQ to join us again next year for the 2016 Car Show. Marque of the year will be ‘Ford�.

We would appreciate your feedback regarding the event and any suggestions on how we can assist you to make your experience even better.

NOOSA BEACH CLASSIC - PCQ CONCOURS This year PCQ went back to Noosa Beach Car Classic to enjoy a great day out – display our cars – and for some to enter the PCQ Concourse.

This year the featured Marque was Jaguar Club QLD – we found out during the course of the day the Jaguar club saw what an amazing effort PCQ put in last year and determined to beat our numbers (57).

They did manage to just get past our 57 club cars with 61 – which included the Sunshine Coast Jaguar dealership presenting the latest models.

I feel it seems strange but Audi don’t have a Drivers/Social club as such like Porsche or BMW. We arrived at Porsche Centre Brisbane about 9.45am to meet up with other members of PCQ - and drive around to the ECCA as a group – arriving just after 10.00am.

As the event is held at the ECCA vehicle access times are very restricted and all vehicles had to be in place by 10.40am – 20 minutes be the event is opened to the public.

Upon arrival our group of 10 was added to as some members had driven straight to the grounds – once through the gates we parked in out allotted area and assisted the BMW and

Concours judges just never stop!

Mercedes guys park up in rows the organisers had set up for us – in total 2 rows of 23 cars.

The VW Drivers club had 2 members arrive too late to be allowed entry with their cars as the site was already open to the public – but the management of Oktoberfest were generous enough to allow the drivers in free of charge but their pride and joy had to stay in the employee’s car park.

At 11.00 am the ‘doors’ were opened and it still amazes me how our ‘pride & joy’s’ attract members of the public with a genuine interest in Porsches and show a great deal of respect around our vehicles – by the end of the day Tim Place, Michael Payne and I agreed we had several members of the public sign up to the club.

We had some great conversations with the ‘Boys & Girls from the BMW and Mercedes club and agree we’ll look to hold some joint

social drives across 2016.

By late afternoon some of us took the first time slot to leave with many members of the public running up to our cars top take last minute photos – while some decided to take up the generous offer from the organisers of a free beer to stay a little while longer.

In the end it was another enjoyable day out with our PCQ friends and making new friendships with BMW and Mercedes club.

Please remember this is your club and the social diary is not ‘set-in-stone’ so if you have an idea for social events please send it through to me via the club’s email address.

Happy Porscheing.

Greg McWhinney PCQ Social Director

Interview with Michael Paine - Membership PCQ

Background Soul partner Deb, married 35 years – 3 great children – Madeleine recently married to handsome Brett, Bronwyn (likes motorbikes) and partner Shane and Dan (another Porschephile), no grandkids (yet). Lives Brisbane Southside – retired but worked for too long in finance – government, private and corporate. Hobbies – Porsches/motorbikes and travelling. Excels at – cleaning the Porsche.

1. What car do you drive?

Our current drive is a 2005 996 Turbo S, it’s a keeper – same engine as the earlier 996 GT2 – but a softer ECU map – its solid black with black interior and some tasty options – carbon fibre pack, steering wheel, phone handset (it’ll get trendy!), sport techno wheels etc. Porsche only produced 600 coupes so it’s a bit rare.

Best thing is it’s a manual – the only water cooled Mezger derived Turbo S manual was the 996.

2. How long have you been involved with the Porsche brand?

We’re relatively new to Porsche – we’ve owned Porches for the last 8 years, concentrating on the water cooled versions – our first Porsche was a 996 Carrera daily driver to go to work – it had to be reliable, low maintenance and noticeable – the Carrera ticked them all. I’d been reading about Porsches and reliability/ running costs in magazines for some time, but these were the key issues for us. So our first Porsche was the Carrera, which we’ve now passed on to our son Dan (also a clubbie). A couple of years ago we scoured for a new car – either a GT2 or Turbo S, we decided on the latter and got our car early 2014.

3. Tell us about your previous cars.

I’ve not always been a car guy. Is that a problem? My first transport was a motorcycle in the late 1970’s for study & stuff. After we married and moved from Sydney to Brisbane, I bought a Harley Davidson. Then after riding for years in rain, hail or shine to get to work I bought an American sports car in 1998. But I’ve always had a soft spot for my Harleys.

Somehow along the way I lost it and bought a racing bike – see pic below – not surprising I didn’t win any races. After all this we bought the Carrera, I said goodbye to my American muscle, but kept the bikes. My toys are in the pics!!

4. How did you get involved in the Porsche brand?

See 3 above. After we bought the Carrera, the penny dropped. I became expert in cleaning, rubbing, polishing and waxing “the Porsche brand”. Sadly that’s how I got involved.

5. What is the best trip you’ve ever done with your car?

Easy – in 2013 the Porsche Rennsport at Sydney Motorsport Park at Eastern Creek. We drove down in the Carrera from Brisbane with an overnight stop at Kempsey –first day was fabulous, sunny, good music. Deb and I on our way. The next day it rained a storm – seriously it poured a flood. We arrived on the Friday afternoon and, having entered in the event “ShownShine” for Saturday, I had only 3 hours to get the car presentable – boy this was tough.

All done we turned up Saturday morning for the event – it was very special – well organised by the Porsche Club NSW, with support from other clubs across Oz AND Porsche Australia – PCQ was well represented - We left Monday morning content Porsche people.

6. If you could do any trip in the world with your car where will you go?

My bucket list includes transporting the Turbo S to the NT, then fuelling up on the Stuart Hwy just before the DERESITRICTED SPEED ZONE, and then pressing the ”GO” pedal until about half fuel, then turning around - and doing it again!! That’s day 1 - I hope to be there for a month. Other bucket list stuff includes - Le Mans, the Nurburgring, the Stuttgart factory and Maranello (sorry).

7. What involvement did you have with the PCQ in recent years?

After joining, we were in the crowd at social drives (some Tamborine and Hope Island outings were 1st class amongst many), many track days for movies and pics of track entries and club nights. I then put in for the Motorsport sub-committee for a short time before taking the Membership reigns from Tim Place at the last August AGM.

8. What is your favourite part of PCQ? Tough question. Because I’m a cleaning freak, my favourite part of PCQ is the club Concours!!.

But then I also like the social drives, and I like going to the track days (drags especially), and I like the club nights. Then there is the club magazine –it’s a great read with many different articles and information.

Now my favourite part of the PCQ is membership – keeping up with new members, processing, enquiries etc – it’s all very interesting and sometimes a challenge when it gets really busy.

9. Do you have any ideas in growing the membership to even further heights?

Another tough question. Seriously though, PCQ is its members, the members are PCQ –so members do our marketing for us. As a member and Porsche aficionado, like other club members, I’m generally keen to talk all things Porsche. We helped with the PCQ tent at Noosa this year and had lost of queries which turned into memberships. I think talking to people about the club is the way to go – everything else just follows.

More efficient and with greater sprinting

power – the new all-wheel drive sports cars

Australia. A sports car with all-wheel drive is the first choice for more than one in three Porsche 911 buyers in Australia. With the new 911 Carrera 4, Carrera 4S and 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S, they now benefit from an increase in sporty driving and comfort in the latest 911 generation: the innovative turbocharged engines are more powerful and consume less, with the improved all-wheel drive increasing dynamics and driving safety.

In addition, the adaptive PASM chassis (Porsche Active Suspension Management) with its 10 millimetre lower ride height included as standard enables an even greater spread between sporty circuit and relaxed longdistance driving. Rear-axle steering that is available as an option for the Carrera 4S models further increases the dynamic spectrum considerably.

Interior functionality is enhanced by the standard-feature Porsche Communication (PCM) connectivity and infotainment system with simplified operation and multi-touch display.

The all-wheel drive models not only include the numerous optical refinements of the new 911 Carrera generation but also have their own individual distinguishing characteristics. For instance, the light strip between the rear lights now produces an especially distinctive effect thanks to its three-dimensional design. When switched on, the light reinforces the impression of depth. The light strip also underlines the typical format of the all-wheel drive 911, with

21

PORSCHE

rear guards that arch further outwards by 44 millimetres in total, as in previous models.

Additional distinguishing features of the new 911 generation range from the headlights with four-point daytime running lights, via door handles without recess covers, to the redesigned rear lid with vertical louvres and new rear lights – including the characteristic four-point brake lights.

New developments in the visual appearance also underline the sophisticated elegance of the 911 Targa. With its individual design, the new 911 Targa continues to stand out clearly from the Coupe and Cabriolet. It spectacularly combines the classic Targa idea with advanced roof convenience. Like the legendary original Targa, it has the characteristic wide bar in place of B pillars, a removable roof section over the front seats and a wrap-around rear window without C pillars. The roof segment can be opened and closed at the push of a button, with the soft top being accommodated behind the rear seats as it opens.

achieve an output of 272 kW (370 hp) and a torque of 450 Nm, while output in the S models increases to 309 kW (420 hp) and torque to 500 Nm. This gives the driver an added bonus of 15 kW (20 hp) and 60 Nm of dynamic performance to convert into driving fun. The greater power of the Carrera S models comes from turbochargers with modified compressors, a specific exhaust system and tuned engine management.

In combination with the now electrohydraulically controlled all-wheel drive, the 911 Carrera 4 for the first time even achieves better acceleration values than its rear-wheel-drive counterparts. Equipped with the options of PDK and Sport Chrono package, the 911 Carrera 4 sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds (0.4 seconds less than its predecessor model), with the S model registering 3.8 seconds (0.3 seconds less). The Cabriolet S and the 911 Targa 4 with comparable equipment need just 0.2 seconds longer – the time it takes to blink. Top speeds vary according to model and equipment between 287 km/h and 305 km/h.

Faster sprinting with up to twelve Traditionally, every new generation of engines per cent less fuel consumption from Porsche combines more output with less Behind the re-engineered flat engines are consumption. Consequently, fuel consumption more than four decades of Porsche experience in the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet with PDK drops with turbocharged engines from motor racing by 0.8 litres to 7.9 L/100 kms. The models with and production sports car. the most significant improvements are the 911 The result is that all new 911 Carrera Carrera S Cabriolet and 911 Targa 4S, each models impress with top values in terms of with PDK, in which average consumption falls performance, driving fun and efficiency. Thanks by 1.2 litres to 8.0 L/100 kms. to bi-turbocharging, the three-litre, six-cylinder engines in the 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Targa 4

Inherited from the 918 Spyder: Sport Chrono

package with mode switch In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the new 911 models now have a mode switch on the steering wheel for the first time, which has been derived from the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.

The mode switch consists of a rotary dial with four positions for the driving modes “Normal”, “Sport”, “Sport Plus” and “Individual”. Using the latter setting, drivers can configure their own individual vehicle set-up, allowing them to adjust, for example, PASM, active engine mounts, PDK shifting strategy and sports exhaust system if fitted.

In combination with the PDK transmission, the mode switch has an additional control, called the “Sport Response Button”. When this button is pressed, the drivetrain is pre-conditioned for maximum acceleration for 20 seconds, for example in order to carry out overtaking manoeuvres. For this purpose, the optimum gear is engaged and the engine management

adjusted to an even more spontaneous response for a short time.

Re-engineered PASM chassis with 10 mm lower ride height as standard A Porsche 911 with all-wheel drive stands for the commendable combination of traction and driving safety with sporty driving performance.

In this new generation, Porsche reconciles these contrasts even further. Firstly, the electro-hydraulically controlled all-wheel drive responds with even more speed and sensitivity thanks to the technology adopted from the 911 Turbo. This especially enhances directional stability during extremely sporty driving without sacrificing any agility. Harmony between the re-engineered all-wheel drive and the retuned PASM chassis with its 10 mm lower ride height is thus even better. It is fitted as standard to all Carrera models and increases stability during fast cornering.

At the same time, the new shock absorber generation with its wider spread characteristics

enhances comfort thanks to its even more refined responsiveness, yet it also improves car body control during dynamic driving.

The active rear-axle steering that is available as an option for the Carrera S marks the adoption of chassis technology from the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3. It increases the turn-in agility of the 911. In addition, it leads to even higher driving stability when changing lanes at high speeds. At the same time, it ensures greater manoeuvrability in city traffic thanks to the 0.4-metre reduction in turning circle.

The improved handling is transmitted to the driver via the new steering wheel generation with a design based on that found in the 918 Spyder. The basic steering wheel has a diameter of 375 mm; the optional GT sports steering wheel measures 360 mm. For unlimited everyday practicality, Porsche supplies a hydraulic lift system with integrated lifting cylinders in the struts of the front axle. Pressing a button increases the ground clearance at the

front spoiler lip by 40 mm within five seconds and thus prevents the vehicle underbody from hitting the ground, such as when negotiating steep garage exits.

Connectivity and infotainment system: PCM with multi-touch display and new functions A standard feature of the new 911 range is the newly developed Porsche Communication Management System (PCM) including voice control. The PCM can also be operated by performing multi-touch gestures on the seveninch display, similar to operating a smartphone.

User inputs by handwriting are also possible.

While mobile phones and smartphones can now also be connected via Wi-Fi in some markets, mobile phones and smartphones can only be connected via Bluetooth (or USB) on new 911 models sold in Australia. This means new Google Earth and Google Streetview navigation functions will be delayed until later in 2017 when a new LTE telephone module is certified for Australia.

The smartphone tray being integrated for the first time in the centre armrest offers batterysaving charging and optimised mobile phone reception. Also new is the option of connecting an iPhone to the PCM to use Apple CarPlay.

However, the new Porsche Connect app – which can be used for functions such as remote control of vehicle functions, transfer of destinations to the PCM for navigation and use of music streaming services by third-party providers via the PCM – also gets delayed until the necessary back-end systems are in place

ONE MAN, ONE 928-S AND 29 YEARS Article by Kevin Vedelago LOOK OUT, LAND SHARK!!! Our first Club meeting of the year allowed us all to wander down memory lane and remember what the great Porsche 928 meant to each of us. Prior to this Club meeting, I had never heard the term “Land Shark” before; more than just its appearance but also its predatory nature, of which I have often been reminded when I have had John Gill’s 928 bearing down on me on the race track. For me, the Porsche 928 was the out of reach big brother to my favourite sibling, the 911. In the early 1980s, there used to be an open air car park where Pier Nine is today. I parked in that car park and every day I walked past a gold 928. I never walked past it without admiring that magnificent machine.

During the first Club Meeting of 2015, a presentation was delivered by Peter Buttery.

During this presentation, I could not help but wonder if my uncle was in fact the longest continuous owner of a 928 in the country. After the meeting had concluded, I chatted to Peter and asked him if he knew of any 928s that have only ever had one owner. At this point, I told him about my uncle (in-law), Frank Mizen.

I first met Frank in 1987 when I was dating his niece. Frank is a West Australian entrepreneur

with business interests in Brisbane. My first impression of him was of pure sophistication and class. He was always immaculately dressed and well presented. He certainly knew the finer things in life and more than happy to share. It was during a birthday dinner at the old Chevaliers restaurant in Railway Terrace, Milton, when he introduced me to a particular red wine that “I just needed to try”. It, of course, was Penfold’s Grange Hermitage. It was at that same dinner when the inevitable topic of cars arose. It was at this point when I declared my love of Porsches and in particular, the Porsche 911. Frank replied, “it’s a good car but the 928 is better”. He went on to tell me that he had purchased a 928S in March of the previous year. If I wasn’t already impressed with this man, this information just elevated him to the next level in my eyes.

The last weekend in February this year, my wife and I travelled to Perth for my other love, Brisbane Roar, as they took on the then top of the table, Perth Glory. Naturally, my wife was keen to catch up with her uncle and aunt, so we dropped in for a visit at their home. It really did not take long before the conversation centred on the old 928. Frank admitted to me that he did not drive it as much as he used to

and it was having some problems due to its age. There was an engine problem created by old fuel and the air-conditioning was no longer working. Recently, the tyres had to be changed, not because they were worn but because they were perishing due to age. The interior was a different story; the leather, dash and steering wheel looked like they had just come out of the factory. The outstanding build quality was immediately obvious as you closed the door.

I asked Frank if he would consider selling the car as I quickly imagined owning this immaculate 928. My extravagant thoughts were, however, short lived as Frank’s youngest son Lance declared, “I’ll have it”. I guess this 928 will not be leaving Perth any time soon.

I am the type of person that struggles to own a car for longer than 5 minutes, so the thought of owning anything for nearly 30 years is completely foreign to me. I am delighted that there are people like Frank Mizen who make a decision that is so enduring that they don’t even consider that owning a vehicle for such a long time is special, very special.

The 993 C2S

– More than just a poser?

Article by Patronus Photos by Frozenspeed Motorsport Photography

Few cars evoke quite as much emotion – positive and negative – as the enigmatic 993 Carrera S (aka the “C2S”). It is nothing more than a normal 993 in a turbo body, of course with lower suspension and a few cosmetic changes, the most iconic being the split rear grille. But somehow this model managed to ruffle feathers in the motoring community, as it still does over two decades later. Like the Carrera 4S (“C4S”) it has the wider, more muscular (and 30kg heavier) body of the Turbo model. But unlike the C4S, it didn’t get the Turbo’s big red brakes, instead it had to make do with the standard Carrera 2 brakes. So, essentially you ended up with a heavier, more expensive car with the same running gear as a normal Carrera. It even had a slightly lower

27

PORSCHE

NEWS

top speed because of the extra aerodynamic drag. Why would anyone buy one? Well, some people did and they had to live with the fact that people called their cars “posers”, sheep in wolfs’ clothing. The only thing everyone seemed to agree on was its looks. The wide body, clean lines and split rear grille made it one of the best looking 911s ever made, some say the best looking.

Porsche set the bar high with the normal Carrera and when the motoring press, particularly in the UK, got their hands on the C2S they didn’t know what to make of it. Pages were spent praising its looks but an equal amount of effort went into bemoaning its ride.

It was tramlining all over the place, changing

lanes by itself, guided by dips and undulations in the road, especially in the UK where secondary roads are very uneven compared to that of the continent. The consensus was that the combination of a lower ride height and wider rear track, especially if fitted with optional 18” wheels, made it hard to drive anywhere other than on the motorway. And so the legends started. The C2S became known as a sort of widowmaker. The Porsche forums are full of folklore about seasoned drivers and mechanics saying it’s the scariest car they have ever driven. Prospective C2S buyers will have read many of these stories, most of them ending up not buying one because of tall tales of tramlining and near-death-experiences.

To make things worse, these cars are pretty rare. So you’re unlikely to find an actual C2S owner who can confirm or dispel these myths, and the ones who are out there increasingly tend to be investors or collectors who don’t drive their cars much, let alone fast.

I’ve owned and driven many 911 models before and did a fair bit of racing, but I’ve never driven a C2S before. Neither did I know someone who could lend me one. Or who would, if they could.

For that reason, about two years ago, I decided to buy one to experience it for myself. Incredibly, it didn’t kill me instantly. Yes it tramlined a bit on bad roads but not more than my wife’s Boxster or any other modern car that I’ve driven. In fact, I was amused to hear how my friends with new Porsches complained about their cars being “close to undriveable” on roads where my C2S only experienced mild tramlining. How is this possible? How can the notorious Tramline King be out-tramlined by cars that epitomise good handling and driveability? And then it struck me: The C2S was ahead of its time. So far in fact that we mistook some of its characteristics for mistakes, not being able to recognise or cope with it at the time. Tramlining is now a well understood phenomenon that we live with, at least those of us with modern sports cars.

Imagine the reaction of a motoring journalist of the nineties who’s used to soft, narrow suspensions and high ride heights, getting into a modern Boxster or Cayman which accurately and precisely follows every bump and camber change on a bumpy road. He probably would have written it off. In more way than one.

Two years into C2S ownership I can say with certainty that it’s a very well-behaved car under all road conditions and surprisingly good on the track. Granted, it weights 30kg more than its narrow-body sibling but there’s some merit to it: the wider rear track removes just about all tendency to oversteer. The difference is subtle but when you’re on the limit on a fast, adversely banked sweep at the Nurburgring, you do feel it. The tail stays put and if it starts to misbehave it’s slightly easier to bring back in line than with a normal Carrera. In fact, I met two trackhardened Germans at the ‘Ring recently, each armed with a modified C2S, claiming that it makes a brilliant track car – if you can find one.

With air cooled prices relentlessly going up, especially that of the 993 models, the C2S is increasingly becoming a collectible ornament.

Rarity now outweighs ability. Fewer and fewer people will speculate about its handling characteristics on the limit. People will forget how satisfying this particular model is to throttle-steer. Like all S models before it, the legend will live on in books and magazine articles, less so on the road.

Honestly, I don’t care because I’ve had the rare experience to delve into the soul of the 993 Carrera S. And I liked what I found. It may be a poser, and it certainly has the looks to be one, but once the nose goes up and the hind quarters go down, good luck trying to keep up with it. Especially in a modern car on a curvy, uneven road.

Jet Black – Cayman S

Article and photos by Derek van Renen

Some weekends start off better than others, especially if you are waiting at Porsche Centre Brisbane on a Friday afternoon for a Cayman S that will be at your disposal for the weekend.

Eventually it arrives with the throaty roar of its 3.4 flat six and you know it was worth the wait.

A couple of months ago Sunel and David Marshall from Porsche Centre Brisbane arranged a car for an article for the club magazine, it had to have two doors and an engine somewhere behind the driver, be it in the middle of the car or hung out at the rear, did not matter as all Porsche’s latest models are very capable machines and has a thrill factor that is off the scale; when deciding to buy one it will

30

PORSCHE

be a matter of personal preference and budget.

Dave agreed and it would be a Cayman S and the anticipated wait changed into a nervous excitement usually felt when something good is about to happen. Turning the key creates some theatre with the engine springing into life with the flat six immediately ready for action, unfortunately I am not ready and it is back to work for another couple of hours.

On Saturday the Cayman ferried us on short distances to get weekly chores done, first off to buy groceries and seeing what it would be like having a Cayman as a daily driver.

Parking is done on the furthest corners away from trolleys, mothers with prams, P-platers

and other cars; at least this will keep you fit in the long run. Fitting everything in the car was surprisingly easy, space in the trunk and back will cater for enough luggage on short trips; however it will not cater for the handyman and trips to Bunnings!

Later that afternoon a short trip to Mount Cotton revealed more of the car’s character and what it was designed for. The car feels solid and its handling is more than what I have read about since the Cayman was launched, and more so the 981 series, brake and turn in to a corner gives you the sense that you are only using about 20% of the cars potential especially on public roads and at the speed limit. I start

wondering why do I brake at all, all you need is the steering wheel and throttle to slightly power out of corners. I am also thinking that exploring more of the performance will attract unwanted attention and is probably best left for the club competition – why are there not more Caymans on the track? I hope this will change with the advent of the GT4 and its Clubsport spec to see what this platform is capable of.

Sunday morning and the much anticipated drive to Springbrook, we head off once again in the direction of Mount Cotton, no point sitting on a motorway when there are winding roads close by, the flat six enjoying the cold morning air and making its occupants happy with its tunes.

The plan was to get on the road early to avoid usual Sunday morning traffic or anything else that could spoil the drive, unfortunately when getting closer to Mt Tamborine the first cyclists

appeared on the road with numbers, ready to spoil our ascent. The Cayman is ticking over at snail’s pace trapped between cyclist making their way up to the top, this meant we lost valuable time that now need to be made up on the motorway to meet for the photo shoot at the base of Springbrook. We were right on time to meet a relative of the Cayman, a 1958 356 A on an expansive green lawn overlooking valleys of trees and the perfect location and day for Porsche photos. The jet black Cayman’s paintwork reflecting images of mountains, trees, blue sky and the silver 356 A. After the photo shoot the owner of the 356 take me for a short drive to experience the difference between modern Porsches and one of the earliest production models; and what a blast, it is not quick and the speed barely goes up to the speed limit but feels like driving at twice the

speed of the new car! You feel every bump in the road and every input to the steering wheel, the car bopping and weaving as it goes around corners. It is only my second drive in a 356 and confirms a discussion I had with a mate quite recently, it is not about the speed, but the feeling of the car on the road and the sensation it gives you, no wonder old Porsches are in great demand as modern cars are a means of transport trying to satisfy environmentalists that has no clue.

We headed for Springbrook with the Cayman following in pursuit of the 356, at the start of the twisties the 356 pulls over and the Cayman launches without hesitation, with the car in Sport mode and PDK in manual it is responsive keeping the car in the selected gear and howling to right foot input. The engines’ torque is enough to pull from low rpm, coupled to lightning quick shifts it owns the road. I have a clear run all the way to the village and this makes up for what I missed out on going up Mt Tamborine. The short twisty road makes the car come alive and show more of its heritage and capability.

The last stint is getting back home, I am saddened to think our time with the car is up, we head back on the M1 and it feels once again like we are going at a snail’s pace, 2000rpm in 7th gear in the 110km/h zone; my mind starts wandering thinking if I can have this as a daily driver? I come to the conclusion that Porsches come in various forms, the older cars that can be enjoyed on weekends without modern intervention, the later 911’s with speed and comfort, the modern cars with creature comforts and lots of electronic inventions; my conclusion – one will never be enough!

QR Sprint - Over Fifty and Back In The Black The rebuilding of Club Motorsport has started on a very positive note with 53 drivers at the Sunday afternoon sprint, round 9 of this year’s competition. There were five first timers in Kevin’s capable hands to ensure their first track event was as less daunting as possible.

Welcome Howard Eban (928), Greg Schirmer (996 Carrera), Trent & Romy Humphries (Cayman) and Ben Dodd (Lotus Elise). After a few orientation laps of both the Clubman and National circuits behind Pace Car Kevin, they joined run group four exploring the limits of their cars and their driving ability with no danger of speeding tickets or demerit points. By all accounts they enjoyed their new experience and let’s hope that this was the first of many club motorsport events for these members.

It was a colourful day in many ways, including a number of members who have not been seen for some time returning to club events, Larry MacFarlane (911 in Brumos colours), Steve Goodson (911 in Martini colours), Lee Cooper (what else but a pink 993 GT2) , Sheldon Arkinstall (964), Dave Beard (997 GT3 RS), Stan Adler (911), Paul Ford (911 Turbo ), Rod McCray (911 with a new engine), Alan and Murray Bell (“Shit That’s A Nice Porsche” 930), Terry Kehoe (996) and David Dodds (911) to name just a few. The Scandinavian Rally team was back with Sven (996TT) and Eckhard (911) wishing for more Arctic like temperatures.

Phil Brook (911 Sahara Beige) was getting more seat time in preparation for the IROC Series next year. Simon Cilento (996TT in Gulf colours) was still on a high after recent success at Targa High Country.

Something you don’t see too often is a 928 on the track. Let alone two 928’s. Especially a pair of identical coloured 928’s. There however

was a difference between Howard Eban’s and Mike’s Miller’s cars, one had a tow bar, a rare accessory for any Porsche. Mike tells me he tows his 911 recovery trailer with the 928.

We had some guests join us for the day. A group organized by the Z Car Club with a mix of 240’s, 260’s, 370’s, Mazda RX7’s, even a 911 (one that got away) and a black Lambo. Our thanks go to Paul Clemens, President of the Z Car Club for supporting our event. We also had some drivers from Paul Stokell’s morning stay for our afternoon sprint, including Lawrence Lee (996 TT) and Nathan Grima (BMW M3). All helped to boost the coffers.

Nine members were adding to their points tally in this year’s competition. Unfortunately one driver had problems with his transponder not registering lap times for the first two runs. As he was concerned about missing out on points, QR staff happily sorted the transponder issues and we arranged for a return to the Clubman circuit so he could record some lap times. It’s a timely reminder to all to check the time sheets as they are posted, to see that you are getting lap times recorded. If not, it could indicate a faulty transponder or simply not mounted correctly and left in the glove box or door pocket.

Thankfully the day was free from other major incidents, apart from some small mechanical mishaps. Alan Bell’s 930 fan belt looked more like shredded licorice than one of Gates’ finest.

Sven lost the tip of his exhaust pipe melting his rear bumper, but amazingly it was recovered

by QR staff and bolted back in place. Steve Cooper’s day ended early when a plug lead caught fire. I hope Brett has recovered from the burns he received in trying to get Steve back

on track.

Stan Adler, who was doing his first club event since Morgan Park 2014 and possibly the last run in his 2.7ish Group S 911, had a problem with a wheel spacer. This caused an oil leak with a Rating 6 on the Exxon Valdez scale for oil spill disasters, in that it required half a dozen bags of absorbent for the clean-up. This was well short of a Rating 10 incident which occurred at Mt Cotton Hill Climb some years ago. Luckily the engine was switched off early with no apparent damage. Thankfully for Stan, Doug from QR was not running the day.

The best looking car on the day, without doubt, was the 911 driven by Lachlan Harburg. Built in Adelaide with the 3.0 RSR look but running a 3.5 litre engine, it won the Australian Porsche Cup Championship in 1994 with Wayne Park behind the wheel.

Quickest times on the day went to Paul Ford with a 59.049 on the Clubman and a 1:18.304 on the National. Well done son, it must be in the genes.

Thank you to Mick and Ronnie from QR for making the day run smoothly (and cleaning up after Stan), to Eckhard for getting the results out the next and thank you Kevin for attending to the first timers and dealing with the transponder issue. Photos courtesy of Daniel Groves.

The bottom line was also encouraging, in the black with a modest profit of $1,190.

Porsche launches Australian Junior Programme Australia. Porsche has launched a driver development programme focused on assisting young Australian racers climb the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid while honouring the memory of the sports car brand’s Australian motor racing patriarch.

The Porsche Junior Programme Australia, awarding the Jamey Blaikie Scholarship, will support one young driver aged under 23 in the 2016 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia presented by Pirelli series.

The Jamey Blaikie Scholarship is valued at over $40,000 for the season and includes a season’s entry fee, race suits, driver mentoring and media and fitness training, while Pirelli will also provide the Porsche Junior their 2016 season’s allocation of race tyres free of charge.

Porsche has a strong history in driver development with initiatives including the Porsche Motorsport Junior Programme, which annually promotes one Carrera Cup driver to the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The Jamey Blaikie Scholarship will, according to Porsche Cars Australia Motorsport Manager Kurt Sakzewski, focus solely on the development of young Australians through Porsche one-make series.

PORSCHE

NEWS

“Globally, Porsche promotes young driving talent through its one-make series – GT3 Cup Challenge and Carrera Cup. We have seen many young drivers follow this path, however it is Earl Bamber who best represented this pathway; a journey which included GT3 Cup Challenge, Carrera Cup, Porsche Supercup and the 2015 Le Mans victory,” said Sakzewski.

“The programme will see one young driver compete in the GT3 Cup Challenge series for 2016 with future plans to expand the scholarship into Carrera Cup with, potentially, multiple Porsche Juniors.”

The programme will honour the late Jamey Blaikie, who was responsible for the introduction and growth of Porsche one-make racing in Australia.

“Jamey was a friend to many and the reason why Porsche has such a strong motor racing presence in Australia. Carrera Cup racing in Australia was his vision and he oversaw Porsche one-make racing in this country for over a decade. Jamey was also a strong believer in promoting young talent and did much behind to scenes to help young racers further their careers. We believe this scholarship is a fitting on-going tribute to the memory of Jamey.”

Porsche Cars Australia is now encouraging eligible drivers to send a completed Application Form and Driver CV to motorsport@porsche.com.au.

Nominations will be accepted up until January 10, 2016.

As a new member of Qld Porsche Club ,I would like to show you my current and only Porsche that’s been the the focus of my attention for nearly three years. I got the car off a fella from the Gold Coast who bought it from a dealer in the same area, who imported cars for his museum years back.

It came to me as a badly modified slant nose with a wide body, as it came out of Hong Kong in 1997 the focus on the vehicles provenance has been difficult to say the least.I have spent endless time and money trying to restore it best I can afford, and must say still a way to go on some areas ,but its looking pretty cool considering when I first purchased the car. I am looking for a set of 16 inch Fuchs wheels if any one has some for sale as well. Cheers Vaughn Grubb.

RENNSPORT 2016 Article and photos by Kent Kieseker I can’t believe the inaugural Porsche Rennsport Australia was in 2013, how time flies. Rennsport returns in 2016 at Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney, and it will be a highlight on the Australian motorsport calendar, particularly for Porsche enthusiasts.

Check your calendar and see if you can get along to an outstanding weekend of fun with your favourite marque.

The second running of the Porsche Rennsport Australia Motor Racing Festival will be held at Sydney Motorsport Park, April 29 to May 01, 2016.

PORSCHE

NEWS

The festival will include a number of highlights such as: · Porsche Carrera Cup Australia Pro-Am · Porsche’s ‘Rolling Museum’ (my favourite part of 2013) – a selection of iconic race cars that have played a key role in shaping the Porsche brand. · Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia · Porsche demonstrations, historic and modern sports car races and Porsche Regularity.

In addition to the on-track events, Porsche Rennsport Australia will also retain its comprehensive off-track entertainment, featuring:

· Porschestrasse car display, · Concours d’Elegance and Show ‘n’ Shine, · Porsche Centre Rennsport pop-up dealership, and · Kids Zone including Porsche Kids Driving School.

The 2013 Porsche Rennsport Australia event attracted over 500 Porsches to the Sydney Motorsport Park venue with a two-day crowd of approximately 4,000. I plan to attend along with a number of other Club members.

Do yourself a favour and make your way to Rennsport 2106 and you will not be disappointed.

2003 Porsche 996 Factory Built Cup Car with CAMS Log Book.

In Europe these cars are currently selling for as much as 69000 euro ($100,000aud) This car is a six speed H pattern shift with ABS brakes. This car has very little race history and has only been driven at 2 events in the last 2 years.Prior the events we installed a reconditioned gearbox at a cost of 13000 euro from Ebert Motor Sport Germany.

1973 Porsche 911S Targa - $23,950 This is a genuine 1973 Porsche 911S Targa. It is an original right hand drive car which is nearing the tail end of a restoration. A lot of the hard work has been completed to date. It is a rolling chassis with suspension, wheels and just about everything needed to complete the restoration. The only things missing is the engine and gearbox, I believe.

This would look great in the garage next to the 991 Targa.

Immaculate condition, you will struggle to find a Cayman S in better condition than this. Always garaged and stored under a genuine Porsche car cover, this car is used on weekends mainly and has been regularly serviced at the Porsche dealership.
