Porscheplatz at 12 Hours of Sebring

If the 50th Rolex 24 at Daytona was any indication, the 60th Anniversary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida will also set some historical records. Porsche will be well represented both on the track - with the newest version of the GT3 RSR - and with facilities for Porsche owners, PCA members and race fans as well. The Sebring Porscheplatz will be located in its historic spot near the entrance to the track along turn 17.

Special Porscheplatz tickets are required to gain access to the reserved parking areas and space is limited – please order tickets in advance: online at sebringraceway.com or call 800-226-7223. Only Porsche vehicles will be permitted in the main parking area; non-Porsches will be directed to the reserved overflow area across from the Porscheplatz. Please plan to arrive early on Saturday.

All PCA members are welcome to visit the Sebring Porscheplatz. In addition to the closed-circuit television feed and cold beverages, activities include presentations from Flying Lizards Motorsports, former race winner Hans Herrmann, Mobil 1, Porsche Cars North America (on the new 991), and Michelin. Several significant door prizes will be offered; the Sebring Porscheplatz is made possible by Porsche AG, PCNA, Florida’s Porsche Dealers, and is staffed by PCA members from across the country. Should you wish to volunteer, a few select spots are still available. Contact David O’Neal, PCA’s Zone 12 Representative at PCAzone12rep@gmail.comor call 407-808-6461.

Porsche is once again offering its special Porsche Customer Hospitality Center that provides catered food (three meals per day), lounge areas, video feed from the race, Team/Sponsor presentations, driving simulators for Xbox, and a gift bag. Admission to this facility must be purchased separately from Porsche online at: porscheracingusa.com. Porsche Hospitality packages can be purchased without track admission, should you already have race tickets.

Drivers Ed

Drivers Education (DE) is an opportunity for those of us who are not race car drivers to drive our Porsches on a real race track.  You will drive in a run group of similarly skilled drivers and you will have an instructor in the right seat to guide you.  In the DE we acquire the knowlodge and develop the skills needed to driver our Porsches at high speed, for the enjoyment of it.  That's the real goal, to have safe high speed fun;  if it stops being fun we can pull of the track at any time.

 

When you drive in enough DE's, you really become a different , and better driver.  You develop a set of skills and reflexes that are useable in your daily driving on city streets, country roads and highways.
 

Each DE is also a social event at the track.  We drive on track for 1-2 hours a day (instructors drive with a student, so their track time is double that), but the rest of the time is ours to wander through the parking area (paddock) and schmooze with about 100 other Porsche enthusiasts and their nice cars.  It’s an enjoyable day filled with friends with a common interest.  This alone makes DEs worth going to, and even if you are not driving in the DE you are welcome to come out and spend the day with us.  At the end of a DE, most of us are pretty tired, we’ve been up all day, and the adrenalin / endorphin high we’ve been on most all day may cause a little fatigue, but it  takes days to get the grins off our faces.

Driving YOUR Porsche on a racetrack, who would have thought it possible?

We have room for you and your car.  Contact us for details on how to attend.

Hope to see you at the track!
