Porsche Club Speed Championship

Speed ChampionshipThe Porsche Club Speed Championship is the perfect way to start in motorsport, without the cost or pressure of racing. For some competitors, the Speed Championship is used as a stepping-stone from attending track days towards actual racing, while other drivers stay in and enjoy the championship for a number of years.

Competition, value for money and a good social atmosphere are some of the key features of the Speed Championship as competitors race against the clock at circuits such as Brands Hatch and Goodwood, as well as at classic hill-climb venues like Shelsley Walsh and Prescott. The mix of disciplines sees all aspects of car control tested, the champion being the driver who performs the most consistently across all the venues.

Graham Rose clinched his fourth championship winning the 2011 Porsche Club Speed title (his third in succession) by the narrowest margin in his 2.5 litre Class Four 924S.

"For me it is all about the friendliness and camaraderie of the series" said Graham. "The Porsche Club Speed Championship is always competitive, friendly and fun".

Graham Rose retains Speed Championship Title

The unusually warm and dry weather in much of England meant that the final round of the Speed Championship on 1st October was a glorious, sun-drenched gathering at Prescott hill climb in the Cotswolds. Fifteen Championship drivers enjoyed four runs on this prestigious but technically difficult hill climb. The day went well without too much incident other than the low, bright afternoon sun...

Graham Rose wraps up Speed Championship at Prescott
The Speed Championship returns to Curborough

Sunday 25th September marked a return to Curborough after our last round there in May 2007 on a particularly cold and wet day of competition. Unfortunately, for much of last Sunday, that weather returned to make the circuit very slippery, especially in the practice sessions. By the afternoon’s final run, however, the weather warmed up a little and the track had dried enough to see some very...

We returned to Loton Park in Shropshire for the second time this season on Saturday 10th September. This popular but challenging hill climb provided a day of close competition, unexpectedly good weather and a great turnout. Eighteen drivers entered and completed the day without too much drama but with plenty of excitement and some very fast times.

Class P1 produced an excellent field at...

Speed Championship at Castle Combe June 2011

The seventh round of the Porsche Club Speed Championship took place at Castle Combe circuit in Wiltshire last weekend. Sixteen drivers attended on a day that remained dry but overcast for most the competition although the first practice run was on a relatively slippery surface because of overnight rain. An unfortunate and extensive spillage of oil by a previous competitor just before the timed...

Gurston Down 18th June 2011

Heavy rain showers and unseasonably cool temperatures meant that competitors were never going to trouble existing class records on the sixth Porsche Club Speed Championship round at the fast and challenging Gurston Down hill climb in Wiltshire. Despite the wet weather, however, we still saw some very tight and close competition amongst the fourteen drivers attending.

Three drivers...
