Porsche Club motorsport consists of motorsport activities organised by the Porsche Club for its members. These activities require every participant to be a member of Porsche Club GB and to be competing in a Porsche. The Regulations applicable to each form of competition will determine which Championship that car can be used in. The Club organises three Championships, as below. The Porsche Club Speed Championship is generally viewed as the first step into motorsport and involves both hillclimb and sprint events. Our championship has a mix of people who are just starting out in motorsport, but do not have a desire to race and feel more comfortable being on their own against the clock. Some are absolute beginners just starting out and others have been competing over many years – a mix of ‘newbies’ and past champions. The Porsche Club National Hillclimb Championship is, as its name suggests, a championship focussed just on specialised hillclimb events.

Others make it their business to challenge you – throwing you cheeky turns, switchbacks and gradients. These are the roads that the Caterham driver, with their light feet and fast hands, actively seeks out; the roads that give it all they’ve got but never quite have enough to take down the expert pilot and the legendary Seven – a tag team made in automotive combat heaven.

APOLOGIES.. ….. I guess you have probably been thinking we had missed posting you a newsletter. Well here goes with the apology, the club has been having some problems getting the newsletter produced so we have put together a lighter version to bring you up to date. The printer has now been installed in its new home, so hopefully we will soon be back to every couple of months. Sorry that we have let you down, but I hope that you enjoy this offering. Thank you for your patience. A GOOD CAUSE…... Darlington & District Motor Club has always supported good causes and at the last NSSCC race at Croft we asked 2016 NSSCC champion Martin Whitehouse to present a cheque to these good causes. Martin was delighted to help out with this task, especially when he found out that he would be handing out two cheques for £700 each. The first cheque he presented was to George Morrison for the charity that is researching into the condition Glycogen storage Disease which he has to manage on a daily basis. Without corn flour several times a day, George could slip into a coma and die. His treatment is no longer available on prescription. We wish him well and look for- ward to seeing him at Croft in the future.

  • 1 for Its Fifth Participation at Retromobile, Ascott Collection Will
    For its fifth participation at Retromobile, Ascott Collection will be presenting a selection of historic racing cars. The Formula 1 car of John Surtees and Mike Hailwood, two world motorsport champions. John Surtees was greatly attached to the SURTESS TS9B # 5, keeping it right up until 1999. This historic F1 car made a name for itself in the streets of Monaco, where it regularly finished among the leaders of the 1966 -1972 editions of the Monaco Grand Prix Historique. The Chevron B16 # 4. No doubt one of the finest prototypes of the 70's. Ascott Collection is proud to have the privilege of offering for sale chassis No. 4, a B16 that is widely known for its authenticity and its history, with participations in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 to its credit: in short, a car that has now acquired considerable rarity value.... Now that historic races have incorporated a new generation of racing cars, Ascott Collection will be exhibiting a 2009 ORECA FLM09 at the Historic Sportscar Racing stand. The HSR hosts a series of historic races on the other side of the Atlantic, including one of the world's finest historic races, the HSR Classic 24 Hours of Daytona. With Lister having relaunched the production of a new series of only 10 Lister Knobblys, Ascott Collection will be offering for sale N° 7, which is ready to race, in its magnificent livery... The gorgeous 1988 MARCH BUICK 86G MOMO will be presented. Bought, sponsored and extensively raced in 1988 by Gianpiero Moretti, the owner of MOMO, it is the most developed MARCH BUICK 86G from the IMSA GTP period.
