Welcome to the 75 odd new Porsche Club Queensland members that have joined our club over the last 2years. We have met you at our monthly club nights for the first time, at our social drive day runs and many for the first time at our annual Xmas party and Motorsport awards night. And may I say it’s great to meet up with you, find out about your Porsche and introduce you around to other like minded club members ( we pretty well have one of everything LOL). Over the coming 12 months, PCQ will quite possible pass the 500 member mark and we would like to meet with more of you. Be that at our upcoming motorsport events, social drive days or our monthly Dealership club nights. After all PCQ only exists for the pure enjoyment of its members and at our heart, we are simply a local portal to fully exploit the Porsche ownership experience. So a simple question members may ask..how do I (and my Porsche) capitalize on PCQ? Well the first rule of understanding joining our or being part of a club - any club - is that no club comes to you - you need to go to it. Then the music can happen. So how? A monthly club track day overview. Whether you male or female, young or not so young, have a 924 or a 30 year old 911 or even a new 991, whether you have done zero track day events and a solid first timer or got your strips and nailed the ring? We as in PCQ have a 5 lap ‘non race’ timed run group suitable for you and your Porsche. Your Track day entry cost

will be around $200. In addition to this entry fee and a track license form signed off (all of 3 mins filling out), you will require a minimal amount of modifications such as a fire extinguisher to your Porsche. Taking your Porsche on a Porsche club track day will be one of the most liberating and invigorating experiences you will ever undertake - in your life. Yes it’s that good. Want to find out and take the next step? Come along to our next track day event and get started asking questions and visit or club website. Need more motivation? Come along to one of our free track day passenger rides. Either way just make yourself known and start participating. Social drive days. Visit our website EVENTS CALENDER and place the drive day dates in your smart phone. More often than not we meet and depart Porsche Centre Brisbane on a given Sunday at around 10am for a run in our Porsches to a chosen booked restaurant for lunch. Around 40 club members usually come along. How do you join in? Just follow the steps on our club website so if we have a bookings for lunch we can book you in. Or just let Donna know via email, text or a phone call and we will count you and if applicable your partner. Kids are welcome. Not so much the Pets.
The Porsche Club of Queensland is truly a great club to experience and there for the picking- but it can’t exist without YOU. Nor
will it need to. PCQ has in the past and will continue to well into the future, subsidize many many PCQ track days and social events including the annual PCQ Xmas party and Motorsport awards night. Many members may be surprised to learn that PCQ subsidize this annual event to the tune of around $6000 a year to ensure the purchase cost of our tickets are as low as possible and open to as many members as possible. Father’s Day at QR Many members will recall the annual pilgrimage to QR for Father’s Day where we took dads round and round the track for Charity. We raised tens of thousands of dollars. We stopped a few years ago due to insurance issues which was a huge setback for Muscular Dystrophy which we supported. As we did others. At our first committee meeting after our AGM I tabled my commitment to restart the annual Fathers day track day for Charity. Sadly I’m getting nowhere. QR and Lakeside has its own track day commitments I can’t at this point work around. Maybe we have to work in with QR somehow but if you are keen to give this initiative some legs let me know. See you clubside. Dave Beard Club President
EDITORS NOTES
Well, this edition see the commencement of my fourth year as Communications Director for the Club; hasn’t the time flown by quickly! Being a part of the Committee is very fulfilling and at times challenging role, as anyone who has held such a role (in any sort of club) will know. During my time I have been lucky enough to have been part of a very strong, supportive and cohesive Committee, which helps to make the job that much easier and more pleasurable. The strength of the Committee can be judged by the fact that most members are into their 3rd or 4th year of service. Once again, we have a very jammed-packed edition, with some very interesting stories and reports. As you would have seen from the cover of the magazine, there was quite an amazing photo-shoot conducted last month that just beggars belief. What makes this even more impressive is the fact that it is all as a result of the imagination and drive of a 15 year-old high-school student; Lincoln Wilkins. There are more photos and a short article explaining how the event was organised later in the magazine. Thanks and congratulations to Lincoln. From an administrative note, the club’s financial report, including the Profit and Loss statements can be found on the club website under clubinformation / minutesandreports / 2013minutesandreports Sheldon Arkinstall Communications Director
While the cat’s away the mice will play. I have had some fun putting this edition together while Sheldon is enjoying himself overseas. Thanks to everyone for their articles and submissions.

FROM

Hello, fellow motor sport enthusiasts, we’re coming up to our last couple of track days for the year. We only have 3 more championship point rounds left. Lakeside sprints will be round 10, on Sunday 20Th October, followed by rounds 11 & 12 at Morgan Park on Saturday 23rd and Sunday the 24Th of November. Morgan Park will be sprints and regularity. Hang on a minute Mr Motor sport Director, I hear you all say, Norwell was cancelled. That only makes a total of 8, including sprints and motorkhana at Queensland Raceway. Yes you’re right, we have been forced to drop one event, so in actual fact we will only have eleven championship rounds. To make it easier for those of us who can’t count more than 10 or remember which event was dropped or what number it was, we will keep number 7 as Norwell. This round 7 will count as one of the rounds that can be dropped, for those of you who have competed in more than 9 rounds. Remembering your top 9 rounds will contribute to championship points. Our last track day was at Queensland Raceway, which was a beautiful sunny day with many drivers cracking PBs (personal bests). Our next round is at Lakeside on Sunday the 20th October. Lakeside will be a half day of sprints, with the social club coming out for breakfast happy laps.
CONTROL
This year luck has been on our side and we have had fantastic weather at the track. Let’s hope we can be as lucky for next years calendar. Weather is one external factor that we are unable to control and there are also many other factors that will influence dates and the availability of the track. For example, V8 super cars take first priority, then any national series, then state rounds, then multi-club racing, then interstate sprints and last of all club sprints. To make the track days more accessible to all, the subcommittee will attempt to not encroach on family time e.g.: school holidays. We will also take into account non Porsche Club QLD events e.g.: Porsche Club NSW Bathurst event, V8 supercar, Leyburn sprints, McCleans Bridge Lakeside, PCQ concourse, and PCQ social drives. We have proposed to have 8 rounds over 6 events comprising of 5 sprints, 1 motorkhana, 1 regularity and 1 hill climb. Another hot topic of discussion has been the starting times at our track days. Due to the noise restrictions at Lakeside our starting times have been set, gates open 08:00am as per subregs and QR at 07:30am. These are the non-negotiable times that have been set by the track so please attempt to keep cars quiet , including when taking them off the trailer, prior to these times.
Do you need a Car Park? “Our best reference is the work we’ve done!” David Holzheimer, Director
TOWER
Track safety at QR has also taken on a new policy of making it compulsory to wear Hans devices for all circuit racing events and vehicles with harness restraints. A road registered car with sash belts in a sprint event is not required to wear neck restraints at this stage. General Manager, Keith Lewis, stated, “After discussions with competitors this morning, it has been decided that HANS Devices or other suitable neck restraints will be compulsory at all race meetings held at Lakeside or Queensland Raceway from 2014. The feedback we have had so far in relation to the changes has all been extremely positive and it would seem that the drivers share our view that it can only help to make our sport even safer.” (September 9, 2013). Finally, at a PCQ CAMs event we require an official CAMs scrutineer to do spot audits and safety checks on all cars according to CAMs regulations. The subcommittee would like to invite club members to become CAMs officials. Anyone who is interested please contact myself, Richard, at comp@porsche-qld.org. au or visit the CAMs website http://www.cams. com.au. The upcoming Morgan Park Warwick event would be the perfect opportunity to complete the on-site practical assessment. Happy Motoring Richard Walker

Porsche party celebrating 50 Years of 911 stops traffic
Australia. Over 100 Porsche 911s forming a convoy 1.5 kilometres long streamed across Sydney Harbour Bridge last Sunday morning as Australia gave its birthday gift to Porsche headquarters in Germany in recognition of “50 Years of 911“. A lane of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was reserved for the special parade, with the Porsche NSW Police Panamera leading the convoy of 911s in turn led by the ‘World Tour 911’ – a pristine 1967 model from the Porsche Museum. An internationally renowned Australian icon was needed for the global
celebrations with Sydney’s famed harbour bridge deemed the obvious choice. ‘50 Years of 911’ celebrations have so far been held in Paris, Geneva, Stuttgart, Shanghai, London and Sao Paolo – but none have been as ambitious or as audacious as closing off a section of one of Australia’s busiest roads. The Porsche parade included the rare, the exotic, the unique and the very fast – from the second customer 911 delivered into Australia in 1965, to two of the famed 1973 Carrera RS, a svelte white 964 Speedster from 1993 and one of only a few 911 GT2
RS from 2010. The combined value of the 911s participating was above $15m. Some Porsche enthusiasts travelled over 200 kilometres to take part in the drive which took 15 minutes to complete; starting at Millers Point and ending at Taronga Zoo. A short film of the historic event is currently being produced and will be released soon on porschepassion.com.au and YouTube.

CLUB NIGHTS August - AGM
By Sheldon Arkinstall Denis spoke to the club about his new business “The 3D Car Club” which is a new concept in marketing vehicles (and other merchandise) for sale on the internet. Denis has constructed a special studio (complete with 360° rotating carousel) and camera technique that provides 3-dimensional, 360° pictures of your car that can be used on websites to attract more attention to your car (product). These pictures can also be supported by audio of the car and interviews with the owners if desired. Denis also has his own website (http://3dcarclub.com/) were the cars can be listed for sale. The website also offers a raft of other “social media” features.

The Club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Tuesday August 13th to review the year and to elect the Club Committee for the 2013 / 2014 year. A small, but enthusiastic gathering of club members were in attendance on the night and enjoyed the usual (for an AGM) free drinks and nibbles. Once again, the majority of the Committee volunteered to stand for another term and were uncontested for their respective roles. As the Webmaster position was vacated by Steve Foss (after 2 years of service, this position along with the newly sanctioned role of Merchandise Director saw the only new additions to the Committee being. Our new Committee members are Michelle Shaw as Merchandise Director and Neil Macdonald as our new Webmaster. Congratulations to you both and welcome aboard!

The 944: The Perfect Modern Grand Tourer Story and Photography by Justin Baldwin Before the 928 owners start howling their arguments, let me explain. My previous road trip experiences have been in big, thirsty V8’s, but that was back when fuel was 28 cents per litre and radar speed guns were yet to be invented. With small, nimble and frugal cars like the 944, road trips can again become affordable. My work puts me on the road most days; however my usual range is limited to Southeast Queensland. The 944 has proven to be a reliable and robust workhorse, capable of massive loads, depending on the packing skill of the driver. I have had many amazed onlookers while at Bunning’s, loading in my work supplies. The opportunity of work in Rocky, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns was all that I needed to once again hit the wide open road.
Day three. Mackay to Townsville and I am greeted by the signs of a cane harvesting season in full swing and clear skies. The road is good, with only small delays, but the prospect of two B-double semi’s riding my rear bumper, while being stuck behind several cars doing 90100 kilometres an hour, scares the hell out of me. At this point I switch on the CB radio and listen into the two trucks talking about how best to force their way past, even with the poor road conditions and limited passing opportunities. I take the option to pull in for a coffee and let the two trucks tailgate the next poor victim. Little did I know, this would not be the last event of this type and I now feel that the bad reputation of interstate truck drivers is more than warranted.

cry from the single lane road I drove as we entered in the ‘70’s. I avoid the usual city hotels and stay at Clifton beach and what a welcome sight it is! The area around Clifton Beach and Palm Cove rivals Noosa and the night time atmosphere and dining options are amazing. The development has retained the charm of the area and inserted some first class hotels and restaurants into the existing beachfront bush land. I have one of the best meals ever in palm Cove and highly recommend the area as an alternative to the city if you are ever in Cairns on business. All too soon it is time to head south again and with some reluctance, I repack the trusty 944 and head for home. With no drama or even the slightest hiccup, the 944 delivers me home with only the tell-tale battle scars of bugs and stone chips to show for the effort.
Day one, which covered Brisbane to Rockhampton, was not exactly what I expected. It was more stop than go, with road work delays at least giving much needed respite from the ‘goat track’ known as the Bruce Highway. In fact, the road is so bad that the CD will not play without skipping, so I resort to the trusty ABC national. Day two, which saw me drive from Rocky to Mackay, leaving the worst of the traffic delays and road works behind and giving me the chance to stretch the legs on the 944. I was still doing 100, but these days it is KPH, not MPH and I don’t have to stop at every petrol station along the way. I always said the old V8 could pass anything on the road, EXCEPT a petrol station!
Driving into Cairns, I am greeted by a huge four lane highway and industrial centre, a far
It takes quite some time, elbow grease and some great Bowden’s products to clean off the grime and guts and now the old girl is due for a well-deserved oil change and a rest. Day four. Townsville to Cairns and the rain hits hard. More road works and even longer delays mean a slow trip and I am saddened to see the huge sugar mill being dismantled for scrap at Tully. This is just a sign of the ailing sugar industry. The other striking change is the sheer number of houses built south of Cairns in what used to be sugar cane fields.
So next time you are planning a trip north, leave the Cayenne in the garage safe and sound until the next school run and give the Northern folk a chance to see some proper old classics being driven, not hidden. All I can suggest is to put some protective film on the nose and the mirrors to save some paint, or like me be proud to wear the marks like a badge of honour!
CAMS praises safety of 2014 Carrera Cup racer
Australia. Innovative safety measures of the new 911 race car to be used in the 2014 Porsche Carrera Cup Australia season have received praise by Australian motorsport governing body, the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS). The 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, based on the series-production Porsche 911 GT3, is a pure-bred race car which will be used exclusively in next season’s Carrera Cup championship. Porsche has implemented modern technologies and innovations into the new GT3 Cup model; improvements including performance, efficiency and driver aesthetics. However, improved safety features of the new 911 race car have drawn admiration from CAMS, with its Track Safety Manager, Bruce Keys, commending Porsche’s focus on improved driver safety. “The significant advances in driver safety built

into the latest Porsche Carrera Cup Car sets new standards for a one make series,” said Keys. “The adoption of the very latest technology and FIA Standards in safety cage design, driver seat retention and security, together with the innovative driver extrication and vehicle recovery facilities are welcomed by CAMS.” The new 911 GT3 Cup features an improved safety roll cage, along with a new racing safety seat, which meets the very latest FIA requirements, that wraps around the driver to provide more protection to the head and shoulders. A unique feature to the 911 GT3 Cup is a rescue hatch in its roof. A new addition to the GT3 Cup, the innovative hatch provides improved access for medical staff to the driver and allows for an easier extraction of a driver should it be required. Porsche Cars Australia Motorsport Manager, Cam McConville, is looking forward to
introducing the new car to teams ahead of a highly anticipated 2014 Carrera Cup season. “Porsche has improved the new 911 GT3 Cup car in every way from its predecessor – the current Carrera Cup car, which in itself is a fantastic vehicle,” said McConville. “Externally, the car looks impressive but it’s when you look beneath the skin that you see the rewards of Porsche’s expertise. The new car is safer, has increased performance and provides a greater experience for the driver – all elements that have made this car so highly sort after for next season.” The new 911 GT3 Cup cars arrive into Australia in early 2014, when they will be delivered to customers at a hand-over event.

Porsche Panamera with 300hp Diese
With its completely new 300 hp (221 kW) engine and dynamic performance package, Porsche has made the Panamera Diesel even more attractive, just in time for this year’s International Motor Show (IAA). The luxury grand tourer has once again been fitted with a V6 engine with a displacement of three litres, but power output has been increased by 50 hp (37 kW) – a significant 20 per cent increase in performance compared to its predecessor. Torque has also been substantially increased, from 550 Nm to 650 Nm between 1,750 rpm and 2,500 rpm, providing even greater acceleration at lower speeds. As a result, acceleration time is reduced by eight-tenths of a second, meaning that the new model goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.0 seconds, while the top speed has increased to 259 km/h compared to the 244 km/h achieved by the previous model.
18
PORSCHE
NEWS
In addition to the improved power output, dynamic performance has also been optimised. For instance, the Panamera Diesel now features the controlled rear-axle differential lock, with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) as standard for the first time – to date, this feature has been reserved for the petrol engine Panamera models. The transmission and chassis have also been retuned. Around 8,500 Panamera Diesel vehicles have been delivered so far and the model accounts for a share of around 15 per cent of the complete Panamera model range. The only aspects that still remain of the previous Panamera Diesel’s V6 engine are the basic engine dimensions. The moving parts in particular, such as the crankshaft drive and pistons, have been completely re-designed and dimensioned, with the aim of increasing the power output. Porsche has combined its new engine with a water-cooled turbocharger for the first time, too.
The new turbine provides a greater air flow, as well as a higher boost pressure of 3.0 bar (formerly 2.5 bar). This power needs to be reliably converted into traction, which is where PTV+ comes in: The system comprises an electronically controlled, fully variable rear-axle differential lock and targeted, individual brake interventions at the rear wheels. At low to moderate speeds, the PTV Plus improves agility and steering precision; at high speeds and when accelerating out of bends, it delivers greater driving stability. The more powerful characteristics of the turbo engine also offered an opportunity to re-tune the transmission. In order to reduce fuel consumption and improve comfort at higher speeds in particular, the gear ratio is longer for the rear axle, meaning the Panamera Diesel uses a lower engine speed to achieve the required vehicle speed.
The Gran Turismo with the new engine offers an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4 litres/100 km, which is equivalent to 169 CO2/km. In addition, gears one to four of the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission have been designed with a shorter gear ratio, giving the Gran Turismo an impressively powerful acceleration and sprint capability. This improved agility is also evident in the runninggear set-up: The anti-roll bars on the front and rear axle are slightly more rigid, giving the Panamera Diesel a sportier feel than its predecessor. The Panamera Diesel with the new engine replaces the current 250 hp (184 kW) variant, with Australian deliveries commencing in March 2014. The new Panamera Diesel will be priced from $204,600 – up from its predecessor showroom price of $196,700. Article and photos courtesy of Porsche Cars Australia

An RS, a GT2 and a Spitfire Story: Lincoln Wilkins (high school student and Porsche enthusiast)
These days there are many automotive photographers, in fact there are so many that most photo shoots are no longer unique. I knew I wanted to take a photo that would make people go “Wow!” when they saw it. A photo that would become the one that owners would talk about for years to come. For that to happen, I was certain that I had to organise an event that was not only exclusive, but was appealing enough for the owners to trust a 15 year old to organise it. For weeks I was stumped as what to do. One day I had an idea, an idea that literally came out of the blue. At the time it seemed extremely farfetched, but after sitting down and thinking about it, I realised it was achievable. I spent countless hours planning before I started contacting people and asking if they wanted to have their supercar photographed with a World War II Spitfire (owned by Brian, a mate of my Dad’s) flying at low level over their cars. Many were sceptical that it could be achieved and said that they were not interested, however to my relief, I found four people who were more

than willing to give it a shot. After looking at the weather maps, we decided that the flyover would be on the 4th of August. Brian Scoffell, the owner of the aircraft was just as eager as I was for the shoot to take place. Brian is a talented skydiver and an exceptional pilot; he has suffered from leukaemia and is now a dedicated fundraiser for the Leukaemia Foundation (http://www.leukaemia.org.au). He has participated in countless charity events and has successfully raised money while flying around Australia! On the designated day, the owners of Lexus LFA (Brett), Porsche GT3 RS (Dave Beard) and Ferrari 360 Spider met with me at Park Road, Milton. After giving a few directions we left for the airstrip, rendezvousing with the GT2 (Brad Rankin) en route. I was lucky enough to ride as a passenger in the GT3 RS. The drive up was incredible, only then did I realise just how special these cars were, the sound of the LFA, the looks of the Ferrari and GT2 and the handling if the GT3 RS was just unbelievable.
After arriving at the runway, we set the cars up as planned. Brian fired up the Spitfire, took to the air and performed his first fly over. The first pass was incredible; but to our surprise, the second pass was even lower and even faster! We were expecting him to fly low, but not that low, but hey I’m not complaining! I found it difficult to have the nerve to stand still taking the photos while the Spitfire came at me at 370kph, while just about 4 metres off the ground. My dad however, ducked every time as indicated by his useless photos. I would like to give a special thanks to the pilot (Brian) and car owners Dave (GT3 RS), Brad (GT2), Brynn (Ferrari 360) and Brett (Lexus LFA) for coming out, it was truly a fantastic day that was enjoyed by all. This event is scheduled to take place once again, with the goal of raising money for the leukaemia foundation. If you have an exotic car and are interested in participating please contact me through my Facebook page “Lincoln Wilkins Photography”.

‘Ring King’ Porsche 918 Spyder
The Porsche 918 Spyder has become the first homologated road car to conquer the 20.6-kilometre lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven minutes! With a time of six minutes and 57 seconds, the super sports car equipped with a hybrid-drive shaved 14 seconds off the previous record. Wolfgang Hatz, member of the Porsche AG Board of Management in charge of Research and Development, had the following to say: “We promised a great deal with the 918 Spyder, namely to redefine driving pleasure, efficiency and performance. We have kept our word.” As is always the case with Porsche, the 918 Spyder is also leading the way for future generations as the latest in the line of super sports cars. It is currently making its global debut at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt. With its unique technology, the 918 Spyder blends maximum driving

dynamics with minimal fuel consumption. By taking the Nürburgring record, Porsche’s latest sports car demonstrates the enormous potential that lies in Porsche’s pioneering plug-in hybrid concept and is underpinning the leading role the company enjoys when it comes to developing sporting hybrid cars. “The radical hybridisation of the 918 Spyder from the very outset is what made this lap record possible,” says Dr. Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder project. “The lap time on the Nordschleife is and remains the toughest measure of a super sports car. Posting a time of 6m 57s, we achieved a result of which everyone in the development team and at Porsche as a whole is rightly proud.” The record, which previously stood for four years, was even broken during the first attempt in the test drive on the morning of September 4. All three drivers
– former European Rally Champion Walter Röhrl, Porsche test driver Timo Kluck and Porsche factory driver Marc Lieb – were quicker than the existing record with each lap driving the two 918 Spyder models used and posted lap times of less than seven minutes on numerous occasions. Ultimately, it was Marc Lieb who posted the absolute best time of 6m 57s, driving at an average speed of 179.5 km/h, as measured by independent organisation Wige Solutions. Marcus Schurig, editor-inchief of sportscar magazine “sport auto”, was on hand as an objective observer of the record-breaking runs. The two sports cars, which each deliver an output of 887 bhp (652 kW), were equipped with the optional “Weissach package” to increase the driving dynamics and were fitted with the standard Michelin tyres developed specifically for the 918 Spyder.

911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet
Powerful, efficient and wonderfully open Australia. The dynamic prowess of the 911 Turbo combined with open-top driving pleasure defines the latest 911 Turbo Cabriolet models. Some 50 years after the 911 made its debut and to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, the open-top versions of the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S will be revealed at the LA Auto Show on November 20. Expressed in figures: The turbocharged 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine delivers 383 kW (520 hp) in the open-top 911 Turbo and 412 kW (560 hp) in the S model. The cars accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 and 3.2 seconds respectively, reaching a top speed of up to 318 km/h. And all this while achieving fuel consumption figures just below the magical 10-litre ceiling – 9.9 L / 100 kms (equivalent to 231 g/km CO2) for both cars, in fact, under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Compared to the out-going 911 Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolet models, the new generation cars deliver 30 hp more power and are 0.2 seconds faster in terms of their standard acceleration while paradoxically being 15 per cent more efficient. Active rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics for even greater dynamism The driving dynamics offered by the two new top-of-the-range Cabriolet models is something that cannot be expressed in simple figures. With PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard together with the new PTM all-wheel drive and rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics, the open-top 911 Turbo models are the ultimate

open air performance cars. While the rear-axle steering has an immensely positive impact on handling for the two new super sports cars – both on the race track and during everyday use – the active aerodynamics can be tuned to offer optimum efficiency at the touch of a button, depending on the driver’s mood. More than ever before, both of these new top-of-the-range models also make a clear visual statement about their performance. The characteristic, widely flared rear haunches of the new 911 Turbo generation are 28 mm wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models – a virtually level surface of just over a hand’s width extends out from the C-pillar to the outer edge of the vehicle. The impressive effect of this width is accentuated still further when the top is down. Another eye-catching feature of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is the exclusive Porsche panel bow top with its lightweight magnesium frame. This innovative technology enables the Cabriolet to look exactly like its Coupe sibling when the top is closed. This identical arch, which also offers advantages in terms of aerodynamics, is not possible using conventional construction techniques. As with predecessor models, the roof opens and closes in around 13 seconds, at speeds of up to 50 km/h. Premium furnishings in the interior The interior of the new Cabriolet models follows that of the 911 Turbo Coupe. The S-model boasts a particularly extensive range of features, including adaptive Sport Seats with 18-way adjustment and memory,
backrest shells in leather trim with double cap seams, and various carbon-fiber highlights. A two-tone Black/Carrera Red interior is also available as a no-cost option. As with the predecessor models, the Bose sound system is fitted as standard – and, for the first time, a Burmester system is also available on request. What’s more, the radarcontrolled adaptive Cruise Control system, camera-based road sign and speed limit recognition function and reversing camera are also available as options. The new topof-the-range 911 Cabriolet models are now on sale in Australia priced from $388,800 and $463,100 respectively, with customer deliveries commencing towards late April 2014.

I was never a raving “one car freak”, so when I was asked for this story I felt a trifle embarrassed. I like all cars, well, within reason, but I think I always appreciated the build quality of the Porsche marque. Then around the turn of the Century, we had a turn in business dealings with a timber dealer you could trust. A few trees came down and the bank balance went up and I said it’s now or never. The first 911 SC I looked at was ‘passed’ by Don Munro, who said I wouldn’t get a better one. I looked at a few others and came back to the opinion that Don was right. I joined the Porsche Club about the year 2000, because I’d always had the belief that if you bought a “foreign” car, you joined the “foreign” car club to find out what your machine was really about. For this article, Sheldon asked what my first car was? That really was a “foreign” car! With some money (not enough to go car-shopping), I was conned into buying a Peugeot 202 convertible. It was sporty in the extreme! It was known as the “triangle car” by the nurses at the Vaucluse Caritani hospital. When viewed from above with the top down, the reason was obvious. A friend had the “rectangle” car, which you don’t want to know about. What had I done to make my first Porsche special? Well, I had always wanted to do the Mille Miglia, so I aimed for the next best thing and began a slow, but steady programme for entering the Targa Tasmania. At first I thought my car was too good to bastardise, but Don convinced me that I knew all about this car and you wanted something decent under you anyway. So after installing a roll cage, upgraded brakes, etc, we did the event in 2004. If you ever want a fund of stories to you entertain (i.e. bore) people for the rest of your life, then doing one Targa should do the trick. I interviewed plenty of past competitors to ensure that I adequately prepared for the event, at least as much as I could on a limited budget. This (budget) goal was achieved, as my co-driver John Colvin and I did the event for only $10,000. That included entry fee, the trip down and back, motels, meals etc., but not grog. Not that that would have blown out the budget! Preparation of the car was also not in that price, as that was done bit-by-bit over the course of two to three years. Would I do it again? Would I ever! At the finish I felt like I’d survived Custer’s last stand! There’s a bunch of ‘desperates’ that compete in the event! As an example, there was a Healy Sprite that caught and passed us about ten kilometres into a seventeen kilometre stage. So you think that was bad enough, he’d started two minutes behind us! He probably had twincarbies or something! However, at the back of

Pat and his current ‘steed’
By Pat Kennedy
our mind all the time was the thought that we had to drive all the way back to Queensland in this car after the event was over. If only we had been in the Factory team! In support of this fact, we passed him (the Sprite) next day, hard up against a rock wall in a very wet Hellyer Gorge. After the Targa I felt that the car (or me) needed to go faster. Don Munro once again came to the rescue and surprise, surprise, found a 3.6 litre motor that would just fit in. A couple of “Cup” cams, a ‘slippery diff’ and a few other bits and pieces and we had a lovely car. This was especially true on the road, where it was effortless, almost like an automatic. I kept competing in Tarmac rallies, as well as Sprints and I rang the curtain down on my “career” after the glorious Suncoast Classic, based in Noosa. I really enjoyed this event, as it was on roads that I knew and I even had a (sort of) pit crew. We even had a lunch in my home town and didn’t get the reception I deserved – or maybe I did! Well, I decided that that was it and put the car up for sale. I realised that while I still had the car, I wouldn’t stop wanting to compete in events. I also knew that I wouldn’t be World Champion, as I lacked money and talent. Steve Goodson was the lucky man who bought it and agreed with me on the price. Of course
I kept saying that I shouldn’t have sold it, but doesn’t every body think that when he’s sold a good car? I then bought a beautiful 993, with metallic dark green paint and black leather upholstery. Again I shouldn’t have sold it, but I wanted a car that I could drive everyday. As it had low miles, adding more mileage to it reduced its value significantly, therefore making me not want to drive the car. So I sold it too. Now I’ve ended up with a nice SC, in attractive light blue paint and a few nice little modifications (e.g. a 3.2 litre motor!). It has a good ‘Club history’, as it has been owned by one P. Hart and then Brett Wentworth. What have been the highs and lows of Porsche ownership? The 2004 Targa and the 2006 Noosa Classic of course!
a Range Rover (I’ve had good service from them). What’s my favourite section of road? The next one. What’s over the hill? What’s my favourite music? Normally I can’t hear for the engine noise, people screaming, women crying, dogs being sick, etc, etc. Well, other than that, I do like some Bruce Sprinstein, some ‘Seger’s – real guitar pluckin’, banjo pluckin’ music! What’s my favourite magazine? “Car” and “Motor Sport” were, but I cancelled them, as they remind me of my age. Now it’s just the Club mag. Favourite web-sight?
And the lows?
What’s a website? Some thing about ducks?
Getting two punctures on a weekend trip to Kimbala in a ‘no mobile phone’ area and then travelling back to Brisbane in a tow truck with no leg room!
What’s on my wrist?

My favourite road car ever?
Probably a Porsche Panamera, otherwise

We ventured out West for another weekend of motor racing in the Historic township of Leyburn (pronounced LEE-burn) on 16th, 17th and 18th of August for our second year of Leyburn Sprints competition. Leyburn is 219 km southwest of Brisbane, 36 km from Clifton, Toowoomba is approximately 75km’s away and Warwick is approximately 60km’s away, so it is out there on its own, except for two days each year when it comes alive! Leyburn holds its annual sprints in the third weekend of August every year to commemorate the running of the 1949 Australian Grand Prix on an airfield track just outside the town. This year it attracted 193 entrants for the event. Being Queensland’s first ever Australian Grand Prix in 1949 as its inspiration, the Leyburn Sprints were resurrected in 1996 by a local Mike Collins, a self-confessed motor sport junkie, who latched hold of the idea to establish a commemorative event for 50th anniversary of the Australian Grand Prix in Leyburn and immediately contacted the Historic Racing Car

Club (HRCC). The plan was to re-establish Leyburn on the Australian motoring calendar and after gaining public approval and community consultation, the Historic Leyburn Sprints was developed. Of course the “local” – Steve Foss was there in his 2008 Westfield XTR2 with his pit crew (his son Matthew), virgin entrant John Forson was there with his wife Sue in their 1976 Porsche 911 Targa and then there was us. We nabbed a spot close to the entry/exit of the pits and set up camp. Phil Hart was a no show this year in his 1999 Porsche GT3; his excuse being that Gail wouldn’t let him! I think the fact he needs his ‘Nana nap’ every afternoon was more the point. But seriously, we were all pleased to see Phil up and around and well enough to make it to Leyburn on Sunday for a few hours of motorsport spectating. It was interesting to note that Leyburn has been sponsored by Gotzinger Smallgoods, but due to his Ekka commitments Anthony Van der Drift was unable to attend. We should also mention the visits from other
previous competitors and fellow club members to cheer us on. There were many entrants whom have competed for years and a lot of familiar faces in the crowds. We also ran into some fellow Targa Tasmania competitors in Greg Bankin in “Buttercup”, a 1966 Datsun P441 Bluebird and Stephen and Ginetta Rochester in their beautiful old 1959 Triumph TR3A and it appears they have convinced their son Nicholas to enter in a 1974 Caterham Seven Sprint, making it a full family effort. This year we had moderately coolish weather with wind, some rain and beautiful sunshine. No repeat of -5 degree temperatures and storms of last year. The hay bales on steroids were in place again this year and making some contestants push the brake a little harder to avoid any punishment. There were a total of five Porsches running this year, my ’81 911 SC, John’s ’76 911 Targa, Perry Dayas with his newly acquired ’75 911 Carrera, Peter Corbett

Following our visit to Leyburn Sprints last year to give our fellow PCQ members some moral support, plus enter our 930 into the Show and Shine, I was keen to enter our 911 into this year’s sprint event. After giving the car a good mechanical check, including replacing the brake pads, seals and brake fluid, it was off to Leyburn for Friday’s scrutineering and an overnight stay in Warwick. It was to be an early start for racing on Saturday morning. It was a very pleasant 5 degrees Celsius, (better than last year’s minus 5 degrees), so it was a good start to the weekend’s motor sport weatherwise. There were 195 nominations for the weekend’s sprint, with an anticipated four runs per car each day. Being my first time competing at Leyburn, Saturday’s runs served as a big learning curve, with my times improving by 6 seconds over the day. A few showers of rain made life a bit interesting early on, but for the most part, the course was a dry one. Sunday’s racing was the business end, and with continued good weather times fell even further. At the end of the weekend I was fortunate enough to have the fastest time in my group and collected my First Place “Leyburn Rock”. Sue and I had a great weekend and even though there were only 3 PCQ members competing we all tasted success with Steve Foss winning his class and Rod McCray getting 3rd place in class. We were joined over the weekend by spectators Sheldon Arkinstall, Ian Preston and Phil and Gail Hart.

LEYBURN Home of Historic Motorsport with his GT3 cup car and Dennis Cotton with his ‘74 914. Saturday started with a ‘pea soup’ fog in Nobby, but by the time we’d reached Leyburn some 25 minutes’ drive away, it was slightly windy and cloudy. I ran a sub one minute run on the first run and thought I was going to have a cracker of a day. How wrong I was. As we were lining up for our second run, the heavens opened; Fossy was calling for a bucket so he could bail out his car! Ah, the joys of open-top motoring. After about 15 cars went around, the clouds parted, the sun came out and the track dried nicely. Needless to say that lap was one I’d rather not talk about. Runs 3 and 4 were both better than run 1 and thanks to yellow flags on run 3, I got a re-run and set a 57 second lap. Overnight at Nobby, we had a big storm with thunder and lightning and lots of rain and I was left wondering how the track would be the next day.

Sunday started beautifully and stayed clear and sunny all day. The Brave-hearts who camped out told us it showered lightly overnight and the storm went on its way, leaving the track nice and grippy. The first run on Sunday resulted in a 58+ second lap, which I thought wasn’t too bad. The next run was the best of the weekend, clocking 56.7 seconds. Phil Hart who had graced us with his company for the day said my ABS worked really well - pity my car doesn’t have ABS. Next run I tried to better the time, but missed out by 0.4 of a sec and the last run of the weekend, which I stuffed up was only 0.3 of a second slower than my fastest lap. Go figure! In a way I was glad Phil didn’t compete, as I then had a chance of getting 3rd place in class, but hopefully he’ll be back next year better than ever. I did offer to drive his car for him, but I got the impression he wasn’t keen on the idea and just to make sure, he arrived in his ‘grey nomad express’, sans caravan. In the end I was awarded third place for my category and was proudly “stoned” along with all the other winners of the Leyburn Sprints, including all
members of the Porsche club that competed. I’m not one to brag, but my name got a mention in the local rag as well. I don’t consider I did too badly considering I was running against Ray Vandersee in his Skelter and the 2012 Cup car and finished 76th out of some 193 cars in the competition. I can happily say that I still have the Leyburn bug and will return again next year with all the competitors and spectators for the 19th running of this motor racing/ social event, supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation as their chosen charity for support.

A weekend of camping and 8 minutes of motorsport! My Leyburn Experience… By Steve Foss The Leyburn Sprints weekend has always been a highlight of my motorsport experience for the year. I grew up in Leyburn and it is exciting to catch up with family and friends in a relaxed environment. Each year I pack up the car and head west, set up camp in the paddock with my son a Matthew and hundreds of other Motorsport enthusiasts. We were lucky that the ‘weather gods’ were kind and we enjoyed mild temperatures overnight, which made it bearable in the tent. This year regulars Sheldon and Phil Hart did not compete, but John Forson joined us for the first time and excelled, taking home a first place trophy in class on debut. Rod McCray was in one of the toughest run groups and ended up with a third place in class and Stephen Callaghan was the other Club Member competing in his MGB. On my part it was a bit of a shaky start for the weekend, after the customarily slow sighting lap, the heavens opened for my second attempt and I must say I did not put in my finest lap. It went bad from the start and ended with me coasting through turn 4 in neutral, not an easy feat with a sequential shift gearbox. But, by the end of Saturday I had achieved a ‘PB’ and was leading my class by a safe margin of 2 seconds. Sunday morning Phil and Gail Hart showed up in the Porsche Club compound. Phil has had some health issues and could not compete, but we all appreciated the effort he made to come and support the team. Phil was in top form, just as I was happy with my ‘PB’, he pointed out where I was going wrong. “Change up a gear for the last corner and you will pick up a couple of tenths” was the suggestion. There was also another comment about the frock I may have been wearing; a little more motivation to do better. But, who am I to argue with ‘Driving Yoda’. The next run and I change into 3rd gear for the last corner and learned that Phil was right and I picked up another 2 tenths! Thanks mate. Well, what can I say at the end of the day I did a ‘PB’ by 1.2 seconds, won my class, watched heaps of Motorsport and best of all, had a weekend of camping with friends. Next year I will be back again for my 16th year competing at the Leyburn Sprints.

Hi, Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Billy Beer, I am a 30 year old accountant and work for ITR Pacific in Yatala on the Gold Coast, I am Married with 1 beautiful boy aged 16 Months. I bought my first Porsche about 6 months ago off Ebay with the intention to fix her up and use it to Join the Porsche Club of Queensland and fulfil my lifelong dream of Driving a Porsche on the Track. I Bought a 1987 944 Celebration Edition out of Melbourne as it suited my budget and according that I have done it they seem to be very capable for track driving. My initial idea was to give it the 944 Turbo Look by updating the front bumper and adding the rear valance but I decided to keep it stock standard. I would call myself a hobby mechanic with No mechanical experience however with the resources available on the internet and friendly advice from fellow Porsche owners all over the world I have to date managed to get this non-Runner to a state now where its running extremely well. All parts are replace with brand new OEM parts as my aim is to not just fix but get it back to a new state. Mechanically the car is now in A1 Condition. My next project is to redo all the interior and a do a complete respray. I can’t wait for my first Track day with the Porsche club! I want to encourage all Porsche lovers that don’t have the money to buy 911’s to go for a 944 as they are so easy to maintain, plenty of spares available at very good prices. I am already looking at buying my next 944 which will be a Turbo. Any up for sale?

The wife still does not feel the love but my two boys are on board. I live in Brookfield and I run a Property Development and Construction Company. I have never been a member of a car club, but I am looking forward to being a part of PCQLD.

Breakfast at Sirromet Winery Well folks, does Brisbane weather get any better! Another stunning day for a social drive! We started our August run from Porsche Centre Brisbane bright and early at 7.30am (yes, I said 7.30AM)! Attendance was excellent on the day, with a good group of cars and around thirty club members (who don’t mind an early start to the day) turning up. We travelled out through the bayside suburbs; down to Wynnum, along the Esplanade through Manly, Lota and then onto Wellington Point - just magic weather; the Bay was looking superb. From there we travelled out through Capalaba and Alexandra Hills, onwards to Mt Cotton and the beautiful Sirromet Winery for brekkie. When you arrange a booking for fourteen or more people, Sirromet serve a set menu breakfast. It was massive, bacon, eggs, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns, English muffins and all the orange juice, tea and coffee you could drink. So much food in fact that you didn’t need lunch!
If you have never been to Sirromet, trust me it’s worth a visit. They have their fine dining restaurant “Lurleen’s”, where we had our breakfast, but they also have ”The Cellar Door”, where you can get more casual meals or cheese and crackers and a bottle of wine to enjoy on the lawns. They hold a lot of weddings there as the grounds are spectacular, along with live-music events (A Day on the Green), which are very popular. It’s a stunning spot and a great Sunday drive destination. After we were all ‘fed to the gunnels’, we drove the short distance down the road to the Mt Cotton Hill Climb circuit where a few of our Motor Sport enthusiasts were competing. The Hill Climb is a great spectator spot as you can see the whole track; very exciting, especially when there is a spin! It was a great chance for the social side of the club to mix with the motor sport side and I hope we can do more of these events in the future. I also just wanted to say a big “Thank you” to Mark Gerada for once again taking some wonderful photos of the day. Mark would have to be one of the keenest Porsche Fans you could meet – so thanks Mark we appreciate your enthusiasm! Just a quick reminder to save the date (06/12/13) for the club’s annual Christmas party and awards night. This year we are going with a ‘Wild Wild West’ theme; there will be a mechanical bull ride for the adventurous and loads of raffles and prizes.

Sancutary Cove River Cruise & Seafood Buffet Lunch Article by Donna Beard Photography by Richard Walker
Well – another great day had by all who attended this awesome day out. – Brisbane club members met at Porsche Centre Brisbane at 10.30am for a 11am departure. We travelled down the M1 to Sanctuary Cove - sounds easy !! – But alas – we did not know about the road-works at Springwood – what a nightmare, at times we weren’t even moving – of course nothing we can do about that – the boat would just have to wait for us. I’m sure the members from the Goldy who met us at the boat didn’t mind having a few drinks on board until we arrived - all be it ½ hour late. We managed to get away fairly quickly though off through the magical waterways of the Gold Coast. It’s quite a different perspective looking at

those gorgeous homes from the water. Massive amounts of $$$$ spent on those homes on the exclusive islands of the northern Gold Coast. Felt like a bit of a sticky beak checking them all out – but what are you gunna do ? ( LOL ) Food on the boat is very good – a great selection of cold and hot meats , salads and vegetables and of course some seafood thrown in as well. Plenty to go back for seconds or thirds if you were so inclined. The entertainment on board was the dulcet tones of “ Mr Goodnight “ wedding singer – he was really good – I thought he was part of the crew at first as he had a captains shirt on – maybe his secret ambition, but he kept
the music coming all afternoon with tunes you could sing along to. – We also had a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday for our illustrious president whose birthday it was on the day. A shout out to the Geraldo’s who had car trouble on the way down and had to turn back. – Next Time !! A quick reminder of the Xmas Party and Motor Sport Awards on Friday 6th December at Riverside receptions at New Farm from 6.30pm to Midnight. This year we are having a Wild Wild West Theme so dust off your chaps and spurs and join in for another fun night. Donna

Round 6 - Mt Cotton Hill Climb Story and Photos by Sheldon Arkinstall Round 6 of the Club’s motorsport championship was held at the MG Car Club’s hill climb circuit at Mt Cotton on Sunday the 25th of August. The event was run in conjunction with this month’s social event, a breakfast at Sirromet Winery, which is also the subject of a story appearing in this edition of the magazine. As a result, the number of spectators appeared to out-number the competitors be at least double! Hopefully some of those spectators will have caught the “hill climb” bug and will compete at the next hill climb event. Once again, the hill climb did not attract a huge entry list, but the 18 competitors who attend had an excellent morning of competition, with the event being held under perfect weather conditions. The day was generally ‘event free’, although one competitor did have a ‘closer inspection’ of the mound of Queensland nut shells that from a safety barrier at the bottom of the hill. Also of note was the return to competition of a long-standing club member and his very impressive and equally well-know 934 replica, Bruce Simpson. It’s been quite a few years since Bruce stretched the legs of his 911 at a PCQ event, but he did himself and the car proud by recording the fastest lap by a Porsche and 3rd fastest lap of the day at 46.35 seconds. Welcome back Bruce! Fastest lap of the day went to Dean Tighe in his frighteningly fast Dallara which scorched around the tight and very steep circuit in a stunning 42.65 seconds! This is almost 3 seconds faster that his nearest competitor of the day and is quicker than anything I’ve ever seen at Mt Cotton. Well done Dean! Second fastest lap of the day went to Karl Johnson in his Radical SR3 with a time of 45.72 seconds. The overall results for the day are listed below, congratulations to all who competed and hopefully we’ll see a much bigger entry list next time we visit Mt Cotton.

Rounds 8 & 9 Queensland Raceway Alex Smith enjoyed a passenger ride
A misty morning heralded the start of Rounds 8 and 9 at Willowbank Queensland Raceway, but that did not quash the determination of the entrants, as by 9.00 the sun was out for a great day. With two rounds to be completed in one morning session, things got underway quickly, but still allowed plenty of time to catch up on the gossip.
The Motorkhana was challenging as usual and, I’m sure everyone was pleased with their day. Our numbers were slightly down again, there was plenty of spare quality track time available for members. Dont miss out next time, grab some for yourself and join in on October 20 at Lakeside (see the website for more details).
A foggy start to the day

This 24 year old beauty has travelled just over 100,000 km, had every major department refreshed. The genuine ’91, 964 Turbo 3.3 Lt engine (replacing the tired 3.6 naturally aspirated) was fully refreshed and installed by T&D Auto, 2011. The Grand Prix White paint is in amazing condition for the age. The 993 GT front air scoop is added - just for looks and better air flow! This example of a Carrera 964 Turbo has the amazing handling capacity of Big Red Turbo brakes, turbo suspension and four wheel drive leaving you in control particularly under acceleration on touchy conditions! Even with such performance this car is a pleasure to drive in the city or open country roads. This rebuild C4 964 Turbo was aimed at a Tasmania targa event, an ideal road tournament winner for tough competition - tight winding curves, quick braking and acceleration in unkind conditions, just the type of work suited with the huge advantage of the all wheel drive, big brakes and the superb Turbo power plant.
