Sanctuary Cove 3 Hour River Cruise Seafood Buffet Lunch
It’s quite possibly the most debated question in any car club and certainly a question that gets a fair run in our club. A question where one could ask 10 different club members and in return get 9 or 10 different answers. Passionate answers, backed-up with quite strong justification. The question? Which Porsche is your outright ‘KEEPER’, the one that’s on your real-life bucket list? As I sat daydreaming poolside on our 30th anniversary weekend away, selfishly escaping into the tritest of conundrums, I pondered my favourite classic “keeper” Porsche. Now to be clear, I’m not talking (errr… daydreaming) of the 800hp, 1980 K3 935 Kremer variety bucket list cars, but of Porsches with Australian rego plates. Now I LOVE my 997 3.8 RS, but it’s a decade or two from being considered a potential classic, but being the last of the Metzger-engine cars, an actual manual etc. etc, I’m confident it is a starter. I expect it will take around two decades for a true classic Porsche to emerge out of the current 991 line up, including the yet to be released GT3 and Turbo, along with the new generation Boxster and Caymans. While these are truly technologically brilliant Porsche’s, what makes a Porsche a dead set classic? A Porsche where you are asked almost on a weekly basis if you would part with it (wife excluded)? So as I contemplate this big issue poolside, the first point I make is that if you can’t visualize your dream Porsche in a matter of seconds, chances are it’s not making your keeper list. Those who

want one – badly – can recall specifics and who has the one they want. Which Porsche model makes your No1 and No. 2 is hard, but a list should be easy. It certainly was for me anyway. I could have formed a Top 10. Trouble with Porsche is that they have too many great cars to select just a few. My Top 3 popped out so thoroughly and quickly, it surprised me in fact and showed that subconsciously, I must have been creating, editing and short listing for decades. I came up with a very close call on my No1 and No2 cars. Number 1 for me is a white 996 GT3 RS, with red wheels. One sweet, sweet Porsche destined to be a revered classic for decades. In a close second place is the 996 GT2. Why second place? A 996 GT2 is a true keeper, but I couldn’t stare at it achingly for as long as I could the red wheel’d, 996 GT3 RS. The 996 GT3 RS will make your heart race just walking around it. The GT2 however, is more inclined for drivers to make your heart stop. Forever. Hence its welldeserved nickname…“The widow-maker”. The brutality of the GT2, the beauty of the RS. All RS’s are special, but looking across all the RS’S over the decades, which RS is your favourite amongst all RS’s? It’s a hard choice. So which Porsche makes my 3rd place? Pick any 993. I love them all. Colours that don’t really work on other Porsches, all seem to work perfectly on 993s. It’s no surprise that modern Porsche design cues have revisited the lines of the 993. Oh, the 993 GT2. Maybe it needs to be up my on top spot?
I also pondered poolside, which Porsche today is the best value second hand Porsche available? Perhaps controversially, the answer popped out as a first generation Cayenne twin turbo. $42,000 for a V8, twin-turbo 4wd Porsche? Hard to quantify value, but at around $40k, that’s a lot of Porsche! All in all our club is in good shape, with nearly 500 members supporting a large variety of our events; both our social and motorsport calendars. Our monthly club night always attracts 50 to 60 regular attendees and 4 or 5 first timers, who are always made welcome to join us. We have been working on improving our club night guest speakers and this has added significantly to the club night’s appeal. Each of the committee members have been ‘delegated’ responsibility for sourcing an interesting guest speaker for a particular month and that seems to be the way forward. As always, I’m interested in hearing your feedback, seeing your Porsche at the track or smiling faces at one of our upcoming social events. Dave Beard Club President
EDITORS NOTES
Welcome to the first edition of Porsche News following some very significant changes in the way that the magazine is developed and produced. Firstly I must congratulate our new Production Assistant, Rachel Place on joining our team. Rachel has taken on the task to produce the layout, design and artwork that will appear in this and all future editions of Porsche News. This is no trivial effort for a normal edition, however with the transition to new desktop publishing software for our new publishing house (more on this in a moment), Rachel has had to spend a significant amount of time ‘rebuilding’ the base magazine framework (indexes, paging, ads, etc.), before even starting on the content for this edition. A mammoth effort Rachel, well done! With the basic reconstruction out of the way, in coming editions I’m sure Rachel will bring her own creative side into the look of the magazine. I can’t wait to see it.
the printing deal, we will now have access to shared articles and other content across the ‘sister’ magazines. A great outcome. Whilst on one hand we have gained, on the other, sadly we have also lost. Earlier this month our Assistant Editor, Philip Mandalidis advised the Committee and myself that he would have to stand-down, as he was relocating back to Sydney. Philip has made an outstanding contribution to the magazine in his short 6-month stint with us, both in terms of content and editorial assistance. Personally, on behalf of the Committee and I am sure that this also includes on behalf of our readership, Philip we would like to pass on our sincere gratitude for the work you have done and the passion you have shown for the club and we wish you all the very best for the future. As a parting gesture, I should mention that Philip has left me with a very, very exciting interview
As mentioned, we have also changed our publishing house for this edition, which will now be handled by Composite Colour in Melbourne. Hopefully you will have by now noticed the new publication format. I am sure that you’ll agree that this a big step forward in quality and gives the magazine a much more professional appearance. Ron Waddison (owner of Composite Colour) is also the Editor for Porsche Club Victoria, he therefore produces their magazine, as well as the magazine for Porsche Club South Australia. Given this relationship and as part of
Vale - John Mansell Very sadly, ex-Porsche Club Queensland member John Mansell was tragically killed in a very high speed crash on Day 1 of this year’s Targa Tasmania . His co-driver Tristan Catford from South Australia was also seriously injured at the time, but is recovering well after neck surgery for vertebra fractures. All of the Queensland PCQ competitors had dinner with John the night before he died. He had a very enjoyable last night at least. John was a very active PCQ member for many years, being based in Mackay, where he managed a travel agency. In recent years, he ran a transport business out of Newcastle . Whilst a member of PCQ, John was often remembered by the number plate on his 993 - “SEE YA”. Although 71 years of age, John was always the life of the party and he will be sadly missed.

Hi everyone. Congratulations to those who made the trip to Sydney for Porsche Rennsport Australia. Queensland was represented with a strong field and there will be much more about Rennsport in the next edition. Porsche Club Queensland’s last track day was at Queensland Raceway on the 21 April, with sprints and motorkhana. Kent and company did an excellent job with running the motorkhana; photos are on the club website. It was a cool crisp day with the sun warming the track nicely and as a result, there were no incidents to report. For those who have a need for speed, we had four sprint runs before lunch. The Passenger laps were also well received, with a variety of supercars just to mention a few: Lamborghini, Porsche 930 RSR, GT3 Cup Car, Porsche 956 and a Holden V8 supercar. This year we are going to try something different and combine Shannon’s Two Days of Thunder with a Porsche Club Queensland track day. You can enter the regularity, the sprints or the

Porsche invitational. Only Porsche sprints will count for championship points. As the name states, the competition will be running over two days, Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd of June. On Saturday, there will be three runs starting at 4pm and finishing at 7pm. And yes you’re right; it will be a night drive! On Sunday there will only be one run at 11:20am, followed by a trophy presentation. There will be garages sponsored by Porsche Centre Brisbane available for those who are trailering their car out, email comp@ porsche-qld.org.au or contact Jeff Neil if you require a garage. As numbers are limited, be early.
Congratulations to club members for such an overwhelming response for our latest safety campaign in relation to neck protection. The Hans device orders exceeding all expectations.

Porsche Panamera Hybrid
The world’s first plug-in hybrid drive in the luxury class Porsche is introducing the world’s first plug-in hybrid to the luxury class with the release of the second generation Panamera Gran Turismo. Along with the Panamera S E-Hybrid with 416 hp of combined power, two luxurious Executive versions with an extended wheelbase are also making their debut, along with an entirely new three-litre V6 engine, with bi-turbo charging for the Panamera S and Panamera 4S. The Panamera range now extends to 10 models, offering an even broader range between sportiness and comfort. New and further developed technologies have enabled fuel savings of up to 56 per cent, while further enhancing operating and driving comfort. The new Panamera underscores its exceptional positioning with an even more expressive design marked by tighter lines, more pronounced contours and newly shaped body elements. Deliveries of the new Panamera into Australia will commence late in July, with pricing to be confirmed in the coming weeks. The extended wheelbase Executive versions, however, will not be offered in Australia. The Panamera S E-Hybrid is an advanced development of the parallel full hybrid, with a more powerful electric motor and higher-performance battery that supplies more energy and the ability to charge externally from the electrical grid. The electric drive produces 95 hp (70 kW), which is more than double the power of the previous model’s electric motor. It draws its energy from a newly developed lithium-ion battery, which at 9.4 kWh, has over five times the 1.7 kWh energy capacity of the previous battery in nickel metal hydride technology. When connected to an industrial outlet, it can be charged within around two and a half hours via the integrated on-board charger and the standard Porsche Universal Charger (AC). It can also be charged in less than
10
PORSCHE

four hours when connected to a conventional household electrical outlet. The Panamera S E-Hybrid far exceeds the driving performance of the previous model. In addition, the previous model’s NEDC fuel consumption of 7.1 L/100 km is reduced by 56 per cent to 3.1 L/100 km. At the same time, its all-electric driving performance is substantially improved, with regard to electric acceleration, electric range and electric top speed. An intensive pure electric driving experience is possible without any fuel consumption or local emissions, which is especially advantageous in the urban environment. The electric driving range of the Panamera S E-Hybrid is determined to be 36 kilometres in NEDC-based testing. However, driving range may vary in real conditions, as air-conditioning and heating are deactivated in NEDC test conditions. A realistic, all-electric driving range in everyday operation is estimated between 18 and 36 km – and under particularly favourable conditions it could even exceed this range.
The enhanced exterior design of the Panamera can be seen at first glance. The tighter and more prominent line work at the front end is especially apparent from the larger air intakes and the distinctive transition to the headlights. In side profile, the new, more steeply raked windscreen creates an even more extended silhouette. When viewed from the back, the new generation Panamera stand out due to its new boot lid. The widened rear windscreen emphasises the horizontal orientation of the Gran Turismo and therefore its sporty character. The rear section itself has also been redesigned, including the wider spoiler and it shows a tighter transition to the rear lights, similar to the visual transition of the headlights at the front of the car. As in previous models, the new Panamera also offer many differentiating exterior characteristics. Further customisation is achieved by the numerous options offered, including the new LED headlights, which give the Gran Turismo a very special appearance. Article courtesy of Porsche Cars Australia

BATHURST 2013
Probably most articles written about Bathurst this year would be titled “Mt Panorama Celebrates 75 Years of Motorsport”, but as far as our club members go, it could be “So Much Effort for So Little Return” or “Should I Be Wearing a Skirt” or “Make Sure Your Nuts Are Tight”. I thought there were only four PCQ members going to Bathurst this year, but in fact there were five. Jeff Neale and David Tilbury towed their matching trailers in convoy down the Newell. Gavin Bradford dropped his GT3 off at a transport depot in Acacia Ridge and flew to Sydney a few days later where he collected the car and drove up to Bathurst on his Hoosiers. I towed my car down the coast road, staying

PORSCHE

overnight with my brother in the Hunter Valley. Not wanting to venture near Sydney on Easter Thursday, I went to Bathurst via The Bylong Valley, Rylstone and Kandos. Yes, its bitumen all the way, but there were many, many miles of narrow and twisting road with a car trailer behind the 2.7 Hi Lux Workmate. The driving required as much concentration as coming over Skyline and down through the Esses! Not a recommended route and I didn’t come back that way either. The last time I saw Craig Woodman, the 5th PCQ member, was at Bathurst in Easter 2010 when he was on his way to Perth to start a new job. Who should turn up in the pits on Good Friday? None other than Craig, who had towed his 968
from Perth - a three day journey. He was moving back to Brisbane and did not want to break the tradition of doing Bathurst on the way through. You would think that towing a car across the Nullabor to drive Mt Panorama was a big enough effort, but that’s nothing compared to the rest of Craig’s Easter. I should also mention that Craig’s 968 is now sporting a dirty great supercharger squeezed in under the bonnet. In Friday’s practice run, Craig managed five very asthmatic laps in a now normally aspirated 968 after the ribbed drive belt inside the supercharger s#%@ itself. The belt looked more like a heap of burnt spaghetti, than one of Gates’ finest. Craig knew there was a spare belt available at his parent’s house, problem was, they lived in Newcastle. An eight hour round trip on Friday night saw Craig back in Bathurst at 2 o’clock in the morning with a new belt. After only a few hours sleep, he was up at “sparrows” fitting the new belt with what tools he could beg, borrow or steal. He missed the morning run, but was back together for the afternoon run. Unfortunately, after only two laps, the new belt chucked in the towel and that was Craig’s weekend finished. He put in so much effort to get all the way over from Perth and to try to fix the supercharger issues, all for only seven laps of Mt Panorama. Fridays practice run served three purposes. For those who had not driven Mt Panorama before, a chance to be totally awe struck the first time over the mountain and then try to learn (if that’s ever possible) one of the best and most daunting tracks in the world. Secondly, it was to give us an idea of our possible lap times to be nominated for the regularity (as if anyone cared about that) and thirdly, it gave
the organisers a chance to do a run order, with supposedly quickest cars going out first. Gavin Bradford in his 996 GT3 set the second quickest practice time, being less than half a second behind a much modified 996 GT2. When the run order was posted Saturday morning, one would have expected Gavin to be second on the grid. No, he was fourth away behind Vivienne, a very attractive young lady driving an equally attractive 997 GT3, which qualified about 4 seconds a lap slower. Whether Gavin has a reputation for chasing skirt or not, I don’t know, but something about wearing a skirt would haunt him all weekend. Gavin was at Bathurst last Easter and was black flagged for going quicker than the 2:40 lap time limit and his aim this year was to better last year’s times. He tried everything to get himself motivated, cans of Red Bull, head banging music at full volume and I even told him “just because you are on the track with the girls, doesn’t mean you have to drive like you’re wearing a skirt!” None of this had the desired effect and the black flag for breaking 2:40 eluded him. Although Gavin was quicker than Vivienne, this lady certainly did it in style. Every morning she turned up in the GT3 to have a pit crew swap the road tyres for a set of wheels shod with slicks. Having center
lock wheels, they used a dirty great socket on the end of a four foot long breaker bar. Makes you wonder how one of those fits in the tool kit? Maybe GT3’s don’t have a spare tyre, jack and tool kit, with Porsche providing every buyer with a pit crew?
Saturday mornings run saw me with a DNF as I started to have gear change issues, ending up with no clutch. A quick look underneath the car revealed that the lock nut on the end of the cable was missing, allowing the adjusting nut to unwind, with the end result being no clutch. My mistake, obviously I didn’t tighten the lock
nut when the engine and gear box went back in just before the trip. If you have ever worked on an early 911, the only time you reach for an 11 mm spanner (2 in fact) is to adjust the clutch. The rod on the end of the cable has an M7 thread. I knew this could be a problem, as all other nuts and bolts on a 911 are either 6, 8, 10 or 12mm. Where do you find a 7mm nut on Easter Saturday. There was no luck, with the few Porsche mechanics there being too busy servicing the rich and famous. The next option was to head for Bathurst and check out hardware shops. Walking back to the ute took me past about 40 Formula Vees who were competing in Round 1 of their championship. They’re German, obviously metric, it’s worth a go. The third bloke that I asked if there was any chance he might have a 7mm nut replied “How many do you want?”

This time I remembered to turn the camera on (and Bob Gray, before you ask, no it wasn’t a Brownie Box Camera with a piece of string tied to the shutter lever).
It seems that Vee Dub gear boxes are held together with M7 studs. There were literally hundreds in the Formula Vee pits. Five minutes later with the clutch adjusted, the problem was fixed and this time, my nuts were tight.
This Easter marked 75 years of motorsport at Mount Panorama with the first race meeting, The Australian Tourist Trophy (motor bikes) being held on the Easter weekend in 1938, on a track with few safety barriers and a gravel surface. The 1938 AGP was also held there and as common for the time, it was a handicap event with the winner, Peter Whitehead in an ERA, starting 32 minutes after the first car started in the 40 lap race. Did you know that Conrod Straight got its name in 1939 when Frank Kleinig’s Hudson Special threw a rod through the block coming

down what was then called the Main Straight? Historic cars were well represented in the Group N races for pre-1973 touring cars, including the ex-Peter Manton 1964 Mini Cooper S, in Neptune Racing Team blue with white stripes. If you want to watch an absolutely amazing race, watch the Group Nb race from Fathers Day 2012 Muscle Car Masters, where Andrew Bergan in the Mini had race-long battle with a Mustang, as they swapped the lead lap after lap. It’s one of the best races of all time…well worth watching. In our group there were 52 Porsches, including two 3.8 litre 993 RSCS’s, a 964 RSR (also 3.8 litre - the only right hand drive one built) and a lone brand new 991 Carrera S. I have no idea who won the regularity, don’t think anyone cared, but here are the best lap times by our club members:
For any club member who has not driven Mt Panorama. Do it! Do it while there is still an opportunity for club level drivers to have a go on what has to be up there with the Nurburgring and Spa as one of the best tracks in the world. Even with Sunday morning’s run being on a wet track, albeit sphincter tightening, it was still a great experience. Let’s hope it’s on again next year for Porsche Club members and if you go, I hope you have better luck than Craig. Remember don’t wear a skirt and make sure your nuts are tight! A big “thank you” goes to the organisers and volunteers of the event, in particular Tim Bickford from Porsche Club NSW and especially Martin Griffin, the Mayor of Bathurst, who in 1938 decided to build a scenic tourist drive on Mount Panorama.
CLUB NIGHT - Racer Industries
In recent months there has been a great deal of discussion within the Club and the Committee about driver safety at our motor sport events. Tying in well with this topic, the May guest speaker for the club night (thanks to Richard Walker) was Ryan McLeod from Racer Industries. Ryan took the time to explain to the audience the many considerations that need to be taken into account when determining what level of safety you want to apply to both you and your vehicle. He detailed some of the significant advances in safety technology such as fire extinguishers that now use ‘vacuum’ technology to douse flames (rather than foam and liquid which cause significant damage to the car). He was also went to great lengths to explain that not just any helmet will do for motor sport. For example, motorbike helmets are designed with (obviously) motorbike riders requirements in mind, such as a different head and neck angle, visor aperture size and no requirement for hans device poles. Significantly, they also (generally) do not offer fire retardant material protection inside. Racer Industries has a very large range of motor sport safety equipment on offer and he was able to explain the various features and benefits of the major product lines that they offer. This included, Helmets, Hans devices, seats and fire extinguishers.

PORSCHE 911 TURBO AND TURBO S
Porsche proudly presents in the 50th year of the 911, the new generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S – the technological and dynamic performance peak of the new 911 series. The car comes with new all-wheel drive, active rear axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, fullLED headlights and up to 412 kW (560 hp) from the flat six-cylinder engine, with bi-turbo charging underscore the role of the new generation 911 Turbo as a circuit racing car, everyday car and technology platform.

PORSCHE
NEWS
Playing an equally crucial role is the entirely new chassis in lightweight design, with a 100 mm longer wheelbase and larger 20-inch wheels. The PDCC active anti-roll system, which is being offered for the first time in 911 Turbo models, increases dynamic performance even further. This system is standard equipment on the 911 Turbo S, as is the Sport Chrono Package Plus, with dynamic engine mounts and PCCB ceramic brakes; all of these features are also available as options in the 911 Turbo.
The results: The new 911 Turbo S shortens the lap time for the North Loop of the Nürburgring to well under 7:30 minutes – naturally with standard production tyres. The standard sound symposer intensifies the driving experience; it transmits induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passenger compartment via a speaker diaphragm. The performance partners in the powertrain are the further advanced engines and the new Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel
developed a new all-wheel drive system (PTM) with electronically controlled and activated multi-plate coupling. The system is equipped with a new water cooling function, so that it can direct even more drive torque to the front wheels if necessary. Simultaneously, the optimised interplay of the engine, transmission and allwheel drive systems takes the new top 911 to even better sprint capabilities. The 911 Turbo with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, which is one-tenth better than the previous 911 Turbo S. The new 911 Turbo S accomplishes the standard sprint to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds. The car’s top speed is 318 km/h. The two new top models display their performance visually more than ever. The characteristic, expansively wide rear body panels of the new generation 911 Turbo are now 28 mm wider than on the 911 Carrera 4 models – and they feature a nearly level surface, about the width of a hand, between the C-pillar and the outer edge of the car body. Other differentiating characteristics include two-tone forged 20-inch wheels – on the 911 Turbo S they have a central wheel hub lock. The Turbo S gains new full-LED headlights that feature four-point daytime running lights and dynamic, camera-based main beam control, which can be ordered as an option for the 911 Turbo. The introduction of rear axle steering immensely improves both circuit racing and everyday performance of the two new top sports cars. The system consists of two electro-mechanical actuators instead of the conventional control arms on the left and right of the rear axle. The steering angle of the rear wheels can be varied by up to 2.8 degrees, depending on vehicle speed. At speeds up to 50 km/h, when the front wheels are turned the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction. This actually corresponds to a virtual shortening of the wheelbase by 250 mm, which gives the 911 Turbo unrivalled performance in bends. The system lets the car turn faster into the bend and offers more dynamic steering response. This noticeably simplifies manoeuvring and parking.
drive system. The turbocharged 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine with direct petrol injection produces 383 kW (520 hp) in the 911 Turbo and 412 kW (560 hp) in the S model. Porsche continues to be the only carmaker to offer two turbochargers with variable turbine geometry for a petrol engine. Power is transferred to the drivetrain via the sevenspeed dual clutch transmission (PDK), which now enables an auto start/stop function, with engine shut-off that now activates earlier during

coasting to a stop, as well as a coasting function itself. Together with the new thermal management system for the bi-turbo engine and the PDK transmission, fuel efficiency technologies have reduced NEDC fuel consumption by up to 16 per cent to 9.7 L / 100 km; this figure applies to both models. For an even faster and more precise power distribution to the two axles, Porsche has
At speeds above 80 km/h, the system steers the rear wheels parallel to the turned front wheels. This is equivalent to a virtual lengthening of the wheelbase by a significant 500 mm and gives the sports car tremendous stability, especially at high speeds. At the same time, the steering input by the driver leads to significantly faster build-up of lateral force at the rear axle, which initiates the change in direction more spontaneous and harmoniously.
For the first time, Porsche has developed an active aerodynamic system on the new 911 Turbo models. It consists of a sturdy, retractable three-stage front spoiler, whose segments can be pneumatically extended, and a deployable rear wing with three adjustable wing positions. This makes it possible to tune the aerodynamics of the 911 Turbo to fulfil driver wishes for either optimal efficiency or top dynamic performance. In the performance position, all segments of the front spoiler are fully extended and they generate considerable down force at the front axle. Similarly, the rear wing is extended to its maximum height with the greatest angle of attack. This also generates

more down force at the rear axle. Dynamic performance is improved to such an extent that lap times at the North Loop of the N端rburgring are improved by up to two seconds due to this system alone. The interior was completely redesigned in both 911 Turbo models and it builds on the 911 Carrera family. The S model is particularly well equipped, offering such features as an exclusive interior in a black/carrera red colour combination and sport seats, plus with 18-way adjustment and memory. In addition, the seat backrest shells are leather upholstered with double cap seams and various elements in carbon look.
Like on the previous models, the Bose sound system is installed as standard; for the first time, a Burmester system is also available as an optional feature. A radar-controlled cruise control system, camera-based road sign recognition and speed limit recognition are other new options being offered. The new Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S go on sale in Australia at the very end of 2013 / early 2014. Pricing will be announced closer to the launch date.

It was great to see so many new members out with us for the first time. When I saw the long table set for 45 people I thought REALLY? Are we going to fill that table? If that wasn’t enough, what surprised me even more was seeing our old Boxster show up with the guy (Paul) to whom we had sold it; he too had just joined the club!

918 Spyder
A unique combination of performance and efficiency
The task faced by the development team was to create the super sports car for the next decade, with a highly efficient and powerful hybrid drive. Developing the car from scratch, appropriately beginning with a sheet of white paper, allowed the team to come up with a no-compromise concept. A key message is that the hybrid drive is a unique all-wheel drive concept, with a combination of combustion engine and electric motor on the rear axle and the second electric motor on the front axle. The 918 Spyder demonstrates the potential of hybrid drive to a degree never seen before: the parallel improvement of both efficiency and performance without one being at the expense of the other. The load-bearing structures, the monocoque and subframe are made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer. The car’s unladen weight of approximately 1,640 kg (with the “Weissach” package) – an excellent low weight for a hybrid vehicle of this performance class. The Porsche 918 Spyder also has the potential to break many records. The current lap time set by the 918 for the North Loop of the Nürburgring is 7m 14 secs was achieved more than a year before start of production therefore approximately 20 seconds quicker than the Porsche Carrera GT. An even more important factor is that the 918 Spyder surpasses previous models and competitors with its fuel efficiency as well. As a

plug-in hybrid vehicle, it systematically combines the dynamic performance of a racing machine with over 880 bhp and low fuel consumption of approximately three litres fuel per 100 km better than that of most small cars today!
Porsche engineers defined five operating modes to set the most suitable operating and boost strategy without driver intervention, thus allowing the driver to concentrate fully on the task of driving.
The multi-link chassis of the Porsche 918 Spyder is inspired by motorsport design, complemented by additional systems such as the PASM adaptive shock-absorber system and rear-axle steering. Basically, this incorporates an electromechanical adjustment system at each rear wheel. The adjustment is speed-sensitive and executes steering angles of up to three degrees in each direction. This makes cornering even more direct, faster, more precise and reduces the turning circle, significantly improving the stability of the rear end.
“E-Power” operating mode. In this mode, the combustion engine is only used when needed
Porsche Active Aerodynamic (PAA) is a system of adjustable aerodynamic elements that is automatically varied over three modes. In “Race” mode, the retractable rear wing is set to a steep angle to generate high downforce at the rear axle. In “Sport” mode, the aerodynamic control system reduces the attack angle of the rear wing somewhat, which enables a higher top speed In “E” mode, the control is configured entirely for low aerodynamic drag, the rear wing and spoiler are retracted and the underfloor flaps are closed.
“Hybrid” mode. The electric motors and combustion engine work alternately, with a focus on maximum efficiency and minimum fuel consumption “Sport Hybrid” mode. The combustion engine now operates continuously and provides the main propulsive force. In addition, the electric motors provide support in the form of electric for performance at top speed. “Race Hybrid” is the mode for maximum performance and an especially sporty driving style. The gear-shifting programme of the PDK is set up for even sportier driving and in contrast to Sport Hybrid mode, the electric motors run at their maximum power output limit for a short time for better boosting. This increased output is balanced by the combustion engine charging the battery more intensively. Electric power is thus available even with several very fast laps. The “Hot Lap” releases the final reserves of the traction battery so maximum power output can be utilised for a few fast laps. The main source of propulsion is the 4.6-litre, eight cylinder engine that produces 608 hp
upholstered with Alcantara instead of leather and visible carbon replaces much of the aluminium. The emphasis on performance is not just visual, sound insulation has been reduced, very lightweight magnesium wheels reduce unsprung masses; gross weight was reduced by about 35 kg. Six-point seatbelts for driver and front passenger, optional film-coating instead of body paint, as well as additional aerodynamic body parts in visible carbon. More than any of its predecessors, the 918 Spyder is providing key impetus for developing technologies for future vehicle concepts. It offers a complete package of components that reflect Porsche DNA – more concentrated than ever before. Specifications of the Porsche 918 Spyder (447 kW) revving to 9,150 rpm. Utilising drysump lubrication with a separate oil tank and oil extraction. Striking features of the V8 are that it no longer supports any auxiliary systems, there are no external belt drives, and weight and performance optimisations achieve a power output per litre of approximately 132 horse power per litre. A seven-speed Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission handles power transmission to the rear axle. The high-performance transmission is the sportiest version of the successful PDK; it has undergone a complete redesign for the 918 Spyder and has been further optimised for high performance. If no power is required on the rear axle, the two motors can be decoupled by opening the decoupler and PDK clutches allowing “coasting” with the combustion engine switched off.

Targa Tasmania 2013 Experience After a successful campaign in 2012, I decided to have another shot at Targa Tasmania. Things didn’t go so smoothly in the lead-up to this this year’s event. The two companies we have used previously as professional pit crews were unavailable this year; one company deciding that they weren’t interested in doing Targa anymore and the owner of the other company deciding to participate as a Navigator for one of his Client’s (more about his experience later). We scoured Australia attempting to find a company interested in doing Pit crew work for both my car and Phil Hart’s. During the course of our investigations, both Geoff Hewitt and John Mansell said they may be interested in joining us, if we could find a suitable professional pit crew to service all the vehicles. Unfortunately no crews were available, but John Gill of Porsche Club Queensland fame, agreed to look after my car and Phil’s during this year’s event. Not quite sure he really knew what Targa was really like, but by Day three he finally understood the nuances of the event.

PORSCHE

We ended up with five current or ex-members of PCQ participating in this year’s Targa; Frank Purdy in his “Datsun”, Geoff Hewitt in his 911 turbo, Phil Hart in his GT3, John Mansell in his Cayman and myself in my 1981 911 SC. Four of us drove down, Frank and John from his country residence and Geoff and myself from sunny Queensland. Geoff decided that he couldn’t wait for Targa to start before he damaged his car, so he invited a lady to T-Bone him in the picturesque township of West Wyalong in NSW. So much for a pleasant drive to Melbourne! This resulted in a quick visit to Peter Fitzgerald Motorsport in Melbourne to mitigate the damage and then on to the ‘boat’ with 10 minutes to spare. I met Frank at the Boarding area for Boat and he introduced me to John Mansell. The Hart’s decided to have their vehicle transported to Tassie, so they said a fond farewell to it a month
before the event and hoped it would be there by the time they arrived at Launceston. I found it hard to believe that after 13 trips to Targa Tasmania, Frank didn’t know where the bar was or which was the bow or the stern (that’s the pointy end and the blunt end for those whom were unsure). After loading our vehicles on board, we then adjourned to the bar for refreshments and to hear Geoff’s tale of woe. Our arrival in Tasmania was greeted with ‘pea-soup’ fog, but thankfully no rain. We all commenced our three days of recceing the course. Amazingly it rained on one of the recce days depending on what part of the State you were in, but that was it, no serious rain for the whole event. This was only the second time that this had occurred in Targa’s 22 year history! The recce went off without a hitch for all of us except Frank. All I can say is he’s one lucky
fellow! Frank, John and I participated in the ‘Hot Laps’ event for the Targa sponsors at Symmons Plains. It’s an interesting if not challenging course, seeing as we ran on it only a week after the V8 Supercars, with that spectacular crash at pit exit. The race track is very hard on brake pads; we did 100 kilometres within the hour and by the end of the event, my brakes were feeling rather second hand. After inspecting the brake pads, we decided a new set of pads were in order and rang around Launceston attempting to find a set. We were fortunate enough to locate a set and these were promptly installed that night. Day ‘Zero’, a warm-up and Prologue event kicked off and leading me to discover that my intercom was only working in one direction; luckily Navigator to Driver. The new brake pads that were installed the day before were totally useless during warm-up, I had terrible brake fade and during Prologue I ran out of brakes altogether. I also discovered the car’s fuel economy was around three kilometres per litre and making refuelling locations critical to completing the event. As usual, during Prologue Phil Hart (Phart) went nice and slow, but this year I think he went a little too slow, as he ended up too close to me in the starting order. Luckily he only caught me once I blinked and he was gone. Back in the Pits that night, after enquiries with other Pit crews I able to discover where to get a better set of brake pads and replaced the other “new” pads. We also bought a new intercom system, installed it, and checked that everything was in order. Bring on the Racing!! I decided that it would be a good idea for us all to get together for dinner before things started getting serious. We went to a Chinese restaurant that we discovered last year in Launceston during the Street Festival. We all

had a great time and had a good laugh when John Mansell yelled out at the top of his voice “Close the Bloody door”, as some poor soul left the door open as he left the restaurant and let all the cold air in. The next morning I was chatting to John and he was rather ticked-off that he had to tape over his number plates “Chilli”, as you were not allowed to display your normal number plates during the event. Day One set off from the Silverdrome. I started y pre-race checks, brakes good, intercom dead. I was not a happy camper. Luckily we knew John Gill still had the old intercom in the service vehicle and we would only have to do two stages with my Navigator yelling at the top of his voice and using hand signals to get us around the courses. The in-car footage is hilarious. So we all set off, slowest to fastest; me, John Mansell, Phil Hart, Geoff Hewitt and Frank Purdy. I was blissfully unaware that anything had happened until we stopped for lunch and we found out that a serious accident had occurred on the opening stage. Phil, Geoff and Frank knew that a car had gone off, but we all had no idea who it was. It wasn’t until we had completed the day’s events and returned to Park Ferme that we discovered that John Mansell had died after going off the road and his Navigator had serious injuries. So after the second stage, the old intercom was back in and we at least had some voice communication. My car performed like a dream in the dry, it had never been so fast on these roads! By the end of Day One we had climbed up the rankings. Day Two. What can I say, the weather was dry and we were having fun! Suspension changes
that I had made prior to the event worked a treat. We were averaging 10 - 20 kilometres an hour faster over every stage compared to last year and were easily making ‘Trophy’ times. At the end of the day, we had climbed even further up the rankings. Day Three. Pretty much the same as day two, except for the last stage. The sun was low on the horizon and I went around a slight bend in a heavy shadow and then into the sun dead ahead. All I could say to the Navigator was “Where’s the bloody road?” Luckily we hadn’t gone too wide on the corner and were still pretty much on the black stuff. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for some other competitors. At the end of the day, we’re still higher up the leader board and looking at a ‘top ten’ result in our Class. I mentioned before that one of the ex-Pit crew were Navigating in another car, well Day Three was as far as they got, as they failed to negotiate a corner and damaged the car beyond repair for the event. The Navigator ended up with a broken nose and we believe that it came from the Driver!! The only way other competitors knew they had crashed, was when his head popped up above the Armco holding an “OK” board. It scared the living daylights out of the following competitor! Day Four. A six o’clock start and minus 4 degrees. I thought the sun was bad the afternoon before and then we discovered that rain and ice don’t mix well. When the sun shines on your windscreen, you can’t see a thing! Several cars had to stop or drive with their doors open so that they could see where the road was, as there was zero visibility through the windscreen. Luckily, by the time we got to start the first stage of the day, the windscreen was warm enough and the sun was just high
enough not to cause total blindness. So we drove and raced from Strahan to Ulverstone and back to Strahan. This is when Phart finally managed to catch and pass me. Usually when a faster car passes you, you keep up with him for a reasonable amount of time and get to follow their lines and improve your race-craft a bit. Unfortunately I didn’t get to do that as he was GONE!! Day four finishes and I’m now eighth in Class and feeling rather chuffed. Day Five. A seven o’clock start, zero degrees and the car decides it doesn’t want to go. We get it jumped started and away we go. We breeze through Stage One where we pass six cars and arrive at Queenstown. Driving up to the Start line, I wondered why one of the Officials is wearing a brown velour bodysuit? When we get a few metres closer and discover it is a VERY hairy guy wearing a ‘Mankini’ and it’s only two degrees! I did a double take and asked my Navigator what he thought the bet was that the bloke had obviously lost! At the start line we were told that he was collecting donations for Prostate Cancer and that there was another one at the start of the next stage at Mt Arrowsmith. Queenstown as usual lived up to its challenge, Stage three - Mt Arrowsmith. While I was waiting in the line-up, I spent my time working out which cars I could probably pass during the next 52 kilometres of racing. Unfortunately it was not to be, as 10 kilometres into the stage I cut a corner a bit too fine and had nowhere to go on the exit. We got hung up in the wire safety barrier at the end of the bend and a rock behind the rear wheel stopped me from reversing out. After that stage

had been cleared of all competition cars, some gentlemen about 100 metres away from where I was stranded came out and pushed my car clear. We then travelled with great haste to try to catch the course clearance car, because once we were in front of it, we were back in the event. Try as we might, we didn’t catch it before the next stage, missing it by a minute. We managed to get in front of it before the last two stages and completed them within trophy time. Before our little mishap, we were seventh in class, but managed to finish fifteenth in class at the end of the event. To obtain a Targa Plate, you must complete all stages within a nominated Trophy time. Due to our mishap on Mt Arrowsmith and not being able compete in the next stage, we missed out on our Plate for this year, but still received a finishing medal.
having his car returned it’s probably in Darwin, Perth or New Zealand. I’m hoping Frank and Geoff managed to work out ways to get their vehicles back from the thriving metropolis of Derwent Bridge in Tasmania…and one car won’t be coming back. At the beginning of the event, John Gill said he and his wife were already making plans to come down and compete next year, but by the end of the event, it was maybe in two or three years’ time! Hopefully he will be able to come down and do our pit work for us next year, given he is now “broken-in”. I’m coming back next year to try it again, someone has to keep Frank company and show him where the bar is on the boat!
At the end of Mt Arrowsmith, I passed Toni Hewitt walking along the side of the road. She explained to me that their car had expired during the stage and they were now out of the event. During the lunch break, I went looking for Frank to see how he was going, as at the beginning of the day he was running fourth outright. Jim Richards informed me that Frank had rolled his car during Mt Arrowsmith and was out of the event. Mt Arrowsmith was a lovely drive, four car started, one crashed, one had terminal mechanical issues, one had a slight altercation and one went through totally unscathed. So this year five cars went down, I know my car’s returned. Going by Phil’s last episode of

Social Drive Day Secrets on the Lake – Montville By Sheldon Arkinstall
In stark contrast to recent social runs, day-break on Sunday May 5th broke clear and sunny. A perfect start to what would be a great social drive and lunch at Secrets on the Lake; an absolutely beautiful setting nestled into the hillside overlooking Lake Baroon in Montville.
road and into Maleny. This course meandered through some of South East Queensland’s most beautiful scenery and provided plenty of challenging, twisty roads to enjoy our cars. All in all, the trip was a good one, with no problems encountered.
The drive started at our usual set-off point at Porsche Centre Brisbane at Newstead, with over 20 cars and 48 members attending the event. The route for the morning headed out along the gateway arterial, exiting to go through Bald Hills and Strathpine before venturing along Dayborough Road to our first quick rest-stop at Woodford.
On reaching our destination, we were presented with a beautiful, but very, very steep decent into Secrets on the Lake. For those who have not been there, the photos don’t do the area justice. It’s a fantastic setting and facility, with an excellent restaurant, providing both ground level and tree-top bungalow accommodation. Everyone enjoyed the setting, the food and the great company and I’m sure everyone who attended would be more than happy to visit the place again.
The route then took us along Mount Mee road, through to the D’aguilar Highway, Kilcoy-Beerwah road and finally on to the Maleny-Stanley River

As most of you would be aware, Porsche Cars Australia held the inaugural Porsche Rennsport Australia motor racing festival on the weekend of May 25 and 26, at Sydney’s Motor Sport Park at Eastern Creek. This exclusively all-Porsche event was centred on the Porsche Carrera Cup and Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia, whilst also holding other exciting support events such as historic races (Groups S and N), regularities and demonstrations run for iconic Australian and world renowned historic Porsche. There were also free test drives of Porsche’s new 991 and Cayman on a skid-pan and a Cayenne on a purpose-built four-wheel-drive track. In addition, there were also off-track attractions such as the Porsche Concours d’Elegance and Porsche Show ‘n’ Shine. For those willing, the Porsche Sport Driving School and Porsche Kids Driving School will provide the full spectrum of the Porsche driving experience to those big and small. In all, more than 240 Porsches took to the circuit in the weekend’s 37 track events, with another 120 immaculately presented in the Porschestrasse display, Concours d’Elegance and Show’n’Shine. Together with privately owned vehicles driven to Rennsport, the total number of Porsches at Sydney Motorsport Park was estimated at more than 500, with a crowd of approximately 4,000 people attending over the two days. Historic race cars drawing special attention on and off the circuit were the 1981 Le Manswinning Porsche 936, 2005/6 American Le Mans Series LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder, the ex-Vern Schuppan Porsche 956C from the Japanese Sportscar Championship of the mid ‘80s, the Le Mans class-winning 996 RSR from 2002 and the ex-Alan Hamilton 1968 911 TR

– the car that, as Alan Hamilton relayed on the weekend, “came within 10 yards” of winning the 1969 Australian Touring Car Championship. There was also a gala dinner held on the Saturday evening that over 200 people attended, acknowledging past and present Porsche legends in Australia including: Porsche distributor Alan Hamilton, tarmac racing Porsche king Jim Richards, the most successful Carrera Cup racer in the world Craig Baird, and director of Porsche’s Historic Racing Department Klaus Bischof. From a club perspective, at least 30 or more club members made the trek down to Sydney for the event. Many taking their prized possessions with them, either having them transported down by truck, or for the more adventuresome, actually driving them in an open display of the Grand Tourismo capabilities.
Many club members also participated in many of the competition events, both on and off track, with varying levels of success. Special mention must go to Russ Kempnich, who achieved 1st place on the Porsche Sports Cars race in his (Porsche 956) and John Forson who was presented third prize in the Concours d’Elegance for his Porsche 930 turbo. There will be a number of articles by various club members on their Rennsport experience in the next edition of the magazine. From a personal perspective, I had been looking forward to this event enormously since it was first announced back in November last year and I came away from it having my expectations met and anticipating that it will become a regular event in the future (Rennsport Reunion anybody?). For one reason or another, I didn’t manage to get away as planned on the Thursday to join Eric van Dyk and Cameron Allen for the drive down, instead heading down by myself on late Friday afternoon. I split the trip by staying overnight a Glenn Innes and then travelling the rest of the way Saturday morning, arriving at the circuit (and accommodation at the Chifley at the circuit) by about 11am, just in time to see the demonstration of the Historic Porsche, including the amazing 1981 936 Le Mans winning car and the LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder - what a welcome!
Whilst the GT3 Cup and Challenge cars were awesome in their pace and reliability, it was the historic Group N and S racing cars that really captured the essence of the weekend to me. The races were well contested, with something like 30+ cars, made up of 911’s (of all types and some of the most amazing 70’s colours!) and 356’s, all of which were being driven at absolutely nothing less than 100%! The racing was very close (sometimes too close) and very, very exciting. Our own adopted son, Stan Adler getting a very close second place in one race. The rest of the weekend was a blurr of races, regularity runs, display cars and catching up with the many, many club members who made the journey to Motorsport Park. There was always something or someone to see at the event and I would recommend the event to all members should it be held again. Oh, one word of advice, it’s cheaper to rent a car from the airport, rather than pay $170 - $220 for a cab!

Story: Stan Adler
Queensland Raceway & Motorkhana - Rounds 3&4 21st April 2013
Fabulous weather greeted 37 drivers at Queensland Raceway (QR) on April 21st for Rounds 3 and 4 of the Porsche Club Queensland motorsport championship. The day started a bit late due to QR management deciding at the last minute not to do the relevant paperwork, which they had originally agreed to do. There were several PBs for the day going to Brett Wentworth, Greg Turnham and Stan Adler.
A3: 1st place went to Tim Trittonin with a time of 1:22.305 his 1974 911 3.6L, a beautiful 993 GT2 lookalike, with plenty of carbon fibre. Tim is aiming to get the 911 under 1,000kgs. 3rd place went to Sven Koremans in his 2000 996 turbo. Sven is very happy with his new coilover adjustable Bilstein/Eibach shock/spring package. 3rd place went to John Walker in his 1971 911T 3.6L.
FTD: Russ Kemprich in his magnificent 956C with a 1:10.778, 2nd Phil Holzberger in the Radical SR3, 1:11.397 and 3rd, Lyle Kearns in the his Holden V8 Supercar with a 1:15.495 that V8 engine sounds great when at full noise!
B Class: 1st place to (me) Stan Adler with a time of 1:21.324 in the 1975 Carrera 2.7L; another person to change to slicks, improving his time by 1 second.
Open Class: 1st place went to Russ Kemprich of course, in his Porsche 956C, 2nd place to Wayne Hennig in his Porsche GT3 997 Cup and 3rd place went to Rockie Whitbread in his 997 GT3 Cup Car - great effort from a new member. A1: 1st place went to Brett Wentworth with a time of 1:17.325 in his 930 3.4L with a couple of “hair dryers” bolted on. Brett has recently changed to slicks, with a noticeable improvement in times. The only other car in class was Steve Cooper’s new 993 GT2 replica, which unfortunately had engine problems. The 911 is now in Brett’s workshop (Flat Six Motorsport) having an engine rebuild; one wonders if Brett needed the work! A2: 1st Greg Turnham, 1980 911 3.6L, 1:19.410, another driver to change to slicks, a very impressive time. Greg had a big smile on his face all day. 2nd place went to Steve Cooper who jumped into his other GT2; must be handy to have more than one car at the track! 3rd place went to Jim Schilling, 996 GT3RS.

C Class: 1st place went to Bill Black with a time of 1:24.286 in a 1969 911T 2.7L. This time was
below his best, as he has had gear selection and clutch problems since Bathurst. I wonder if he has selected a wrong gear at some stage, that will damage a clutch big time. 2nd place went to Eric Van Dyk in his 944 S2, 3rd to Ross Kennedy in his 1985 911 Carrera: all those fast bits from the States are now showing in Ross’s improved times. D Class: 1st place to Gary Taber in his 1986 944 turbo with a time of 1:25.513, 2nd place to Phil Brook in his 1977 911 3.2L. I’m still waiting for Phil to open his wallet and install a 3.6L to show what he can really do. 3rd place went to Simon Livingstone in his 1974 911 3.2L.
E Class: Stephen Kemprich in his 944S2, with 2nd place going to David Yould in his 1986 944 turbo. F Class: No starters at this event. Associate Class: Phillip Holzberger in his 2011 Radical SR3 with a time of 1:10.778, 2nd place to Lyle Kearns in his 2004 Commodore VZ and 3rd to Steve Annett in his Corvette. A motorkhana (round 4) was also run in combination with the sprint. Unfortunately this event was not particularly well attended, with only a handful of participants. Thanks goes to Kent Kieseker for running the day. The final results for the event were as follows: FTD: No starters at this event. Open Class: No starters at this event. A1: No starters at this event. A2: No starters at this event. A3: 1st place went to Sven Kormens in his 996 turbo, with no other runners participating B Class: 1st place went to Antony van der Drift in his 964, 2nd place to Stan Adler in his 911 2.7 Carrera and 3rd to Sven Sorrensen in his 997 Carrera. C Class: 1st place went to Bill Black in his 911 2.7, 2nd place to Ross Kennedy in his 911 and 3rd to Eric van Dyk in his 944 S2. D Class: 1st place went to Eckhard Schwarting in his 911 3.2 Carrera, 2nd place to Gary Taber in his 944 turbo and 3rd to John Forsen in his Carrera 3.0. E Class: 1st place went to Kent Kieseker in his 911 SC, 2nd to David Yould and 3rd place to Kent’s daughter Ellen. F Class: No starters at this event. Associate Class: 1st went to Stephen Chadwick in his Golf.

1978 Porsche 911 SC
Historic 911SC - A true 1978 Australian delivered classic, seeks genuine Romantic New Companion. I’m an Immaculately groomed and sensational, epic performing, head turner with a sexy Alpine Complexion in Turbo Stilettos. I really love long, powerful drives in the countryside and the odd special night out to restaurants. And for 37 big ones I can be yours. My owner has had and loved me since 1995, showered me with endless loving services with Australia’s finest Porsche mechanics. He’s spent over $30,000 in the last 10 years alone on massive mechanical love. A brand new motor, ( that I’ve only done 10,000 K’S on) new 5 speed overhauled gear box, new paint plus lots of TLC. Receipts since 1995 far out strip my very cheap & reluctant sale price. My owner and his other 930 Porsche have to part with me because of a medical condition that needs urgent attention :-( If you are a serious Porsche collector, driver, enthusiast or just love classic cars then this unique and very rare car could be yours. It’s not a given I will sell to you, it’s for you to prove you are genuinely committed to preserving & enjoying the bench mark in automotive history.

Porsche recommends
Don't let the curves fool you. New Cayman. Straight out mid-engine perfection. If you've always promised yourself that one day, you would drive a Porsche, the curvaceous new Cayman will be very difficult to ignore. Enhanced performance, increased efficiency, intensified acceleration and unbelievable cornering agility make it the most perfect manifestation of the mid-engined sportscar, ever.
