  • A Forgotten Circuit
    newsroom History Jul 8, 2019 A forgotten circuit On July 8, 1962 Dan Gurney secured Porsche its first and so far last Grand Prix win at a World Championship round at the fearsome Rouen-les-Essarts. Now, the circuit is all but forgotten. To many a Le Mans regular, the city of Rouen is little more than an inconvenience. Situated between the Circuit de la Sarthe and the rest of northern France, Rouen, with its narrow streets, tight underpasses and seemingly infinite number of traffic lights represents something of a stumbling block — trapping motorists in a location that’s as breathtakingly beautiful as it is choking. However, this medieval city has more to offer the motorsport enthusiast than meets the eye. Quite literally, in fact. Situated in an attractive area of woodland south-west of the city, lays what was once considered to be one of Europe’s finest racing circuits: Rouen-les-Essarts. Opened in 1950 and measuring 3.2 miles in length, this picturesque track — once home to iconic events such as the Tour de France Automobile and the French Grand Prix — was, even by the standards of the day, notoriously unforgiving. Unlike ‘modern’ post war tracks such as Goodwood, Silverstone or Zeltweg that were built on wide, flat airbases, Rouen-les-Essarts, was an old school, naturally occurring circuit; the topography of the land creating a fast, flowing and fearsome layout, with an elevation profile that must have struck fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned drivers. Forget artificial run-off areas, gravel traps or catch fencing, drivers were either on the tarmac or in the trees, no exceptions.

Where does one start with a driver like Dan Gurney? He was an inspiration to many, admired by both rivals and friends alike, and an all-round good guy. His racing achievements are so numerous and his victories so varied, that it would take a book to do www.porscheroadandrace.com them justice. But under that tough, competitive front lay a likeable and easy-going nature that, when folk approached him, would break into that familiar broad California smile. Solitude 1962: Dan Gurney on the podium with Jo Bonnier (right) I had the pleasure of making his acquaintance on two separate occasions, one in a face-to- face meeting and the other was on the telephone when I interviewed him a couple of years back. On both occasions, he was so easy to get on with, that I was actually taken aback. www.porscheroadandrace.com www.porscheroadandrace.com Solitude, 15 July1962: Dan Gurney wins the Formula 1 Grand Prix driving a Porsche 804 Formula 1 Born on 13 April 1931 in Port Jefferson, New York, his family moved to California where Gurney would learn his profession in the school of hard knocks, as he made his name in the Hot Rod scene while still a teenager.

  • 60 YEARS of PORSCHE CLUBS WORLDWIDE Part 1 ⁄ 5: 1952–1962
    Porsche Club News 1/12 04 Porsche Club Special 60 YEARS OF PORSCHE CLUBS WORLDWIDE Part 1 ⁄ 5: 1952–1962 The community of Porsche enthusiasts is celebrating 60 years of Porsche Clubs. The foundation of the Westfälischer Porsche Club Hohensyburg on 26th of May 1952 was the germ of a unique idea that today is brought to life every day by events held by around 640 Porsche Clubs around the world. Worldwide, 181,000 Club members bear witness to the enthusiasm for Porsche and the close connection they feel with the brand and the Porsche company. Pioneers: Porsche friends from the Württemberg Club hand out Christmas presents to the Stuttgart traffic police in 1955 25 Porsche Club News 1/12 04 Porsche Club Special 60 YEARS OF PORSCHE CLUBS WORLDWIDE Part 1 ⁄ 5: 1952–1962 1952 – 2012 The Porsche Clubs are celebrating their great jubilee. There are many stories to recount and history has been written as well. The development of the Clubs goes hand in hand with the success story of the Porsche brand. One would not be possible without the other. With 60 years of Club history, it is simply impossible to portray all Clubs in a way that does justice to each. Based on the stamp of recognition that was introduced and awarded by Porsche AG in accordance with the foundation date and/or recognition date, we have embarked on a fascinating journey through the annals of Club history and the development of Porsche as a company. The spirit and purpose of the Club – as can be read in the Club’s founding articles – is “...to bring to- gether all Porsche drivers in a spirit of friendship and camaraderie ...” After Hohensyburg, more Porsche Clubs quickly spring up throughout West Germany.
