This is on this weekend.

Other special Porsches at Queensland Raceway over the August 6-7 weekend include a former European hillclimb title winning 1959 RS-K Spyder, an ex-Le Mans 904 sports car from the early 1960s, the ex-John Latham racing 934 Turbo from the late 1970s, Victorian Rusty French’s three 650HP-plus Type 935 racing models (including the car that won two Australian GT Championships in 1982/83 in the hands of Alan Jones and French respectively), a racing 962 sports car from the mid-1980s and the 911 GT3 RS that won its class in the 2002 Le Mans 24 Hour race.

Show/display entrants can arrive between 7 - 9am on Sunday. Racing starts from 8.30am on Sunday.

There's talk of a slow parade lap for VW and Porsche on the Sunday, but it is yet to be confirmed.

I and the Double Cab will be there.

Should be a good days entertainment.

I was out there today putting the FJ through scrutineering. There is a record number of cars competing (over 300 entries) with a couple of beetles running as well. There is a Regulairity race with 25 Porsches in it. Promises to be a great weekend. I took a few pickies of Rusty French's Porsches, they look much better in the flesh...

The words "Porsche" and " Historic" in one sentence, is like a revelation from the good book.🤪
