Porsche Classic Restoracing Championship - Round 2
09/5/2019
On Saturday 4 May we attended the second round of the Porsche Classic Restoracing Championship, which took place at the Brands Hatch GP circuit. Round two was action-packed and full of drama for us from the start. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our driver Mark Duncan was unable to race so our driver from last year - Derek Stewart - stepped in.
After breezing through scrutineering, we headed to qualifying. Derek got off to a relatively good start until disaster struck - while he was racing, the car roof blew off and flew up in to the air. Luckily, there were no injuries and the damage was limited. We managed to refit the roof to a standard that the scrutineers were happy with, for us to participate in Race 1.
Due to the roof incident, Derek had to start at the back of the grid. When Race 1 began, Derek quickly made up two or three places but the drama did not end in qualifying for us. Driving through a corner, Derekwas close to gaining another position when the car started drifting. He did his best to rectify the drift but unfortunately never quite caught it and flew off the track into the gravel. He hit it with such force that two of the tyres popped off their rims and parts of the chassis bent out of position. This unfortunately called time on us racing for the rest of the round but, thankfully, Derek wasn't injured and we don't think the damage is too severe.
Although it wasn't quite how we imagined the weekend going, we still had great fun and displayed amazing teamwork to fix the car in between rounds.
Roll on Round Three!

. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel and energy consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Optional features and accessories can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel or energy consumption and CO₂ values. Vehicle loading, topography, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, energy consumption, electrical range, and CO₂ emissions of a car.
