The Power Chef Thanks for reading. 40 Years Ago in the Nugget Registration for DE #6 Year End GGR Banquet Zone 7 Awards Dinner Crab 34 European Porsche Parade 2008 LA Lit & Toy Show Porsche Web Cinema Porsche Hybrid History Quick Links Event Calendar Classified Ads Join PCA Now Nugget Archive More About Us Zone 7 web site PCA web site Great Links Place dé Leglise --by Claude Leglise, GGR President The State of GGR There are only two events left on the GGR calendar for this year. Driver's Ed at Laguna Seca on December 9 - there are still slots available and the weather is holding up very nicely - and the Friday Night Social on December 21. The club has enjoyed a good year in 2007, yet some challenges face us. Andrew Forrest and the entire Time Trial crew have done a terrific job modernizing and revitalizing the TT Series. On-line registration, including credit card payment, was implemented this year and is now fully operational. New rules have allowed modern street cars to participate in Driver's Education events. New people have been trained to staff the events and to instruct participants. Finally, for the first time since 2004, we have a date at Laguna Seca, our area's most famous track. The net result of all these efforts is that participation in the Time Trial Series was up this year for the first time since 2003. The events are not sold out yet, so there is more room to accommodate members who want to experience their Porsches at speed. John Celona has worked out all the kinks in the production and distribution of the electronic Nugget. Don't believe anyone who talks about "computer standards"; there is no such thing. John's task has not been easy, and future Nugget editors will thank him profusely for all the roto-rooting he has done. You will have noticed that the Nugget now arrives in your inbox in a timely fashion with up-to-date information, that the number of pages has increased, and that the built-in links to websites add much depth to the content. Nearby, the Diablo and Redwood regions have followed GGR's lead and also moved to an electronic publication. The transition from paper to bits did not please everyone, and there is certainly something to be said for the warmth of printed material on the coffee table. I hope the improved timeliness and content make up for this shortcoming. Think also of all the trees we have saved. Bill Dally, Paul Smith and the autocross gang managed to put on 10 autocross events this year, amounting to almost ten thousand timed laps; this despite many difficulties with the venues. Candlestick was repaved, and we had anticipated the surface would be much improved. The results were the exact opposite, with slippery gravel that hurts the cars. Alameda was not available all year. Zone 7 tried running at Altamont, but the GGR autocross chairs are concerned that unplanned contact with the outer wall would be costly. Autocross is supposed to be safe. Marina is a good and low cost venue, yet the location seems too remote for many of our members. Next year looks better already, thanks to Marc Blatt's diligent efforts, as we are on the verge of signing a three year deal with Alameda. However, all these nice large parking lots are threatened by development, so we need a long term solution. At its December meeting, the board will vote on a motion to set aside part of the money we are saving by publishing the Nugget electronically to participate in the acquisition of a permanent autocross site, along with SCCA and other car clubs in the San Francisco area. Larry and Greg Adams organized the ever popular Carlsen Concours in August. Over 35 cars were scored and became eligible for year-end awards in the Zone 7 Concours Series. The Carlsen Concours and the Taste-of-the-Track program combined generated enough contributions that this year GGR is able to make a $3000 donation to Child Advocates of Santa Clara County, our designated charity. Another 35 members participated in the other Larry Adams organized event, the Coyote Run. This rallye attracts a crowd of regulars, as well as a number of newbies. It has become another fixture of GGR. The club's social events are growing, too. Cindy and I just came back from the Boxster Brunch at Alice's Restaurant, which was attended by over 30 people. Carol and George Grialou have been organizing this bi-monthly gathering for over 3 years now, and the attendance has grown steadily. They even welcome lost souls like me who do not drive a Boxster. Mid-year, Mark Powell stepped in to the role of Social Director and immediately proceeded to organize excellent visits of race teams at Infineon and Laguna Seca on race week-ends. The new members' tour last spring was also a success with over 50 participants. Now to the biggest challenge: we need more volunteers. As I mentioned last month, we need a new webmaster to take over after Susan Angebranndt's retirement at the end of December. We need help with advertising and sponsorships. We need to improve our new members program. And we certainly could start new club activities if anyone wanted to organize them. The club only operates when its members volunteer. I urge you to get involved. To cap the year 2007, don't miss the Year-End Banquet on January 13 at the Blackhawk car museum. There will be guided tours of the museum, a fabulous buffet brunch, plenty of Porsche owners to socialize with, and competition awards. Even if you have not participated in a single GGR event in the last 5 years, this is THE event to attend. Cindy and I hope to see you there. This is the last column I write as President of GGR. I have enjoyed the past 2 years, meeting many of you, and attempting to continue the legacy of my predecessors. Despite the long list of good things listed above, the reality is that I personally did very little. The real stars are the board members and the dozens of individuals who have contributed and are continuing to contribute their time and their passion to bring you the Nugget, the website, the track week- ends, the autocross days, the social gatherings, the concours and the rallyes. To all of you: a huge thank you. And I want to acknowledge all who have stepped up to volunteer as board members and committee chairs for 2008. Finally, I want to mention that in the two years I was President, each year a GGR member won a new Porsche in the PCA National raffle. Bill Dally has promised he will try to improve on this record. Happy Holidays and see you at Blackhawk on January 13. Claude Letter from the Editor --by John Celona, Nugget Editor A Few Days Late! My apologies for this Nugget arriving a few days late rather than the first of the month I've been aiming for. Last week was furiously busy work-wise, so today is the first day I've had a chance to get to this. With a little luck, it will be done by the end of the day and, through the double miracles of electronic distribution and the hardware/software on your computer allowing it to be displayed, you'll have this in the evening. (I hope!) I do know that some folks are having continuing issues viewing this newsletter. Please be assured I've made every effort to avoid any non-standard stuff to minimize problems. Nonetheless, the variations of hardware and software on peoples' individual computers means some people will have problems. Hopefully, downloading the PDF from the web site provides a fallback if this newsletter doesn't display correctly on your computer. As I always tell people, I don't worry about computers taking over the world, I just worry about whether they will print! As always, thanks for reading. John Competition Corner --by Dan Thompson, Competition Director Rules Changes for 2008 Below are the proposals that were accepted by the DEC for the 2008 competitive season. Please make sure to read these carefully since they will effect many folks that have cars prepared for the GGR Time Trial Series. Especially #4. 1) Change the autocross base points for all models of 914 to be 50 points more than their time trial base points. 2) Reduce the time trial base points for the 986 Boxster S by 25 points and then change the autocross base points for all models of Boxsters and Caymans to be 25 points more than their time trial base points. 3) (Procedural) Permanently adopt the rules in effect for track events this year (aka "2007b rules") as a baseline for all rules change proposals for 2008.

  • Press Release June 26, 2011 No
    Press Release June 26, 2011 No. M 72/11 Nürburgring 24 hour race Dr. Wolfgang Porsche: “Such a success is only possible as a team” Stuttgart. With a triumph for Porsche, the Nürburgring 24 hour race came to an end. After 156 laps on the legendary Nordschleife, Porsche works drivers Marc Lieb (Germany), Timo Bernhard (Germany) and Romain Dumas (France) together with Lucas Luhr (Switzerland) won with the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Manthey Racing. For Porsche and Manthey Racing, this marks the fifth victory together in the last six years at the long distance classic in Germany’s Eifel region and for Porsche the eleventh overall victory at this race. Quotes after the race Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG: “I’m overwhelmed. Such a success is only possible as a team. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this. Today, I’m especially proud because we are small but great and successful.” Matthias Müller, CEO of the Executive Board at Porsche AG: “This is the first time I’ve been to a 24 hour race for Porsche and I certainly hadn’t anticipated it being so emotional. It was a very great weekend for the Porsche enterprise. All the employees at the track have proven what Porsche Intelligent Performance really stands for. Thank you to all the drivers – not only to the winning troupe, but particularly to the squad in the Hybrid-Porsche. All those drivers put in an excellent effort, as well. And thanks to all those people who worked behind the scenes.” Dr.

  • Le Mans 1998 – the Anniversary Victory
    Le Mans 1998 – the anniversary victory Porsche celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding with victory in Le Mans, overcoming stiff competition from Mercedes, BMW and Toyota. Driven by Allan McNish, Laurent Aïello and Stéphane Ortelli, the 911 GT1 ’98 secured Porsche’s 16th overall victory in Le Mans. The strength of the starting field led Porsche race director Herbert Ampferer to describe it as the ‘race of the century’. A crowd of at least 250,000 attended the 1998 edition of the classic race, with Porsche not looking much like a winner in the opening stages. An AMG-Mercedes took the lead early on and the BMWs were also setting a good pace, but engine trouble and problems with the wheel bearings forced the cars from both teams to retire. The Porsche 911 GT1 ’98 models were built with a focus on durability rather than recording the quickest lap times. The engineer Norbert Singer noted the gearbox as an example of this phenomenon, as rival Toyota took greater risks than Porsche in its design and trusted that this would enable them to perform a gearbox change within a few short minutes. By the early hours of Sunday morning, the quickest Toyota and the two Porsches – one driven by Allan McNish, Laurent Aïello and Stéphane Ortelli, the other by Jörg Müller, Uwe Alzen and Bob Wollek – were almost neck-and- neck. However, both cars from Weissach then lost time in the pits. Jörg Müller gave his team a lot of work to do after spinning into the gravel, with the entire crew descending on the Porsche to perform repairs.

  • Tilman Brodbeck Remembers
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Tilman Brodbeck remembers Published: 12th January 2018 By: Kieron Fennelly Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/tilman-brodbeck-remembers/ Tilman Brodbeck poses with a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Coupé (left) and a 911 Sport Classic (right) – 21 September 2009 To be able to write on your résumé that you worked for one of Porsche’s CEOs would be quite an achievement. Tilman Brodbeck can however do a little better than that, for in a 40- year career, he was assistant to no fewer than five successive Porsche presidents. But, as he tells us, he held other posts too. When he started at Zuffenhausen, the company was still ruled by Ferry Porsche, whose nephew and Technical Director Ferdinand Piëch, was literally snapping at his heels. www.porscheroadandrace.com Ferry Porsche www.porscheroadandrace.com Unlike many of his contemporaries who went to Stuttgart University to complete their education, Tilman Brodbeck went further afield, to Darmstadt 100 miles to the north, for his engineering studies: “I wanted to get away from home,” he smiles revealing the slightly nonconformist streak that runs through much of his thinking. His speciality at Darmstadt was in airflow techniques, a subject then very little developed. Tilman’s background meant that after he joined Porsche he was promoted to body project engineer. “One of my tasks was on the 924 (Porsche’s first front engined model) where getting sufficient cooling air to the engine was quite a challenge within the overall shape we wanted for the car.” Prior to this though and before even being assigned a title, Brodbeck had had to prove himself: he was handed the daunting responsibility of resolving the 911’s tendency to lift its front end at high speed.

  • Revisiting the Compcars Dataset for Hierarchical Car Classification
    sensors Article Revisiting the CompCars Dataset for Hierarchical Car Classification: New Annotations, Experiments, and Results Marco Buzzelli * and Luca Segantin Department of Informatics Systems and Communication, University of Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: We address the task of classifying car images at multiple levels of detail, ranging from the top-level car type, down to the specific car make, model, and year. We analyze existing datasets for car classification, and identify the CompCars as an excellent starting point for our task. We show that convolutional neural networks achieve an accuracy above 90% on the finest-level classification task. This high performance, however, is scarcely representative of real-world situations, as it is evaluated on a biased training/test split. In this work, we revisit the CompCars dataset by first defining a new training/test split, which better represents real-world scenarios by setting a more realistic baseline at 61% accuracy on the new test set. We also propagate the existing (but limited) type-level annotation to the entire dataset, and we finally provide a car-tight bounding box for each image, automatically defined through an ad hoc car detector. To evaluate this revisited dataset, we design and implement three different approaches to car classification, two of which exploit the hierarchical nature of car annotations. Our experiments show that higher-level classification in terms of car type positively impacts classification at a finer grain, now reaching 70% accuracy. The achieved performance constitutes a baseline benchmark for future research, and our enriched set of annotations is made available for public download.

It is the archetypal sports car for everyday driving, and a style icon that is unmis- takable as both the face and heart of the Porsche brand: the 911. In Zuffenhausen today, the one-millionth model rolled off the production line – a Carrera S in the special colour “Irish Green”, with numerous exclusive features following the original 911 from 1963. The two-door car remains the most strategically important model in the product range and makes a huge contribution to maintaining Porsche’s position as one of the most profitable car manufacturers in the world. Dr Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG, has been a part of the development of the 911 since day one: “54 years ago, I was able to take my first trips over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road with my father.
