The Porsche Club’s Track Day programme got underway in early March at Castle Combe and since then we have run another at Combe, plus the first of five days at Goodwood circuit this year. These days have proven to be popular and we have been very lucky with the weather, with all being run in sunshine.

Our most recent event was a Novice Evening at Brands Hatch on 20th May. This event proved to be very popular, allowing those who are novices to track day driving, to go on track with only other drivers of similar experience. The evening was geared very much to the novice driver, with a number of instructors available to offer guidance and assistance. We are also running a further Brands Hatch evening in August, which can accommodate more experienced track day drivers.

Our traditional Silverstone Grand Prix circuit day will again be linked in with Porsche’s fabulous facility there. This day takes on more significance now the British Grand Prix has been confirmed for the circuit again in 2010. Our day slots neatly between the Grand Prix and the MotoGP, the weekend after us. We will be using the ‘Bridge GP circuit’, as used for the 2009 British GP and retaining the stunning Bridge Corner. We chose this over the new ‘Arena GP circuit’, as the two additional straights of the new layout in no way compensate for the loss of the Abbey Chichane, Bridge and Priory corners. As a point of interest, the use of the pit garages is free on our days, but frequently charged for on days run by other organisers.

Castle Combe in Wiltshire sees our next Track Day on Thursday 3rd June. We still have a few places available for this day – so get your bookings in quickly.
