SurlySurdi Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Last year Rennsport Collective had their first ever event, I attended and it was excellent. If you’re interested in motorsport and Porsche history it’s very engaging. Looks like there is another event in November. I’m still debating whether to go because of the time of year but for those interested here is a screen shot of the article I’ve just read....

Ian Comerford Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 There’s not much detail about what’s involved is there. It might still be worth a look, weather depending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_911 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Went to the first one. Was OK, but attendance was dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Worth going guys? Sounds like it’s £37 to get in and park. Bit steep for a car show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I've bought a car for less than that 😲 was quite a crap car but still drive-able 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 😂 I was looking for the bit where they say lunch is included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondrian Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 That's cheap. I or rather my 50th was invited as a show car to Salon Prive at Blenheim palace for 70 years of Porsche event back in 2018. A contribution of £1500 was requested, yes @Busybee gala dinner & bubbly was included in the 2 day event. I must admit that I did actually consider it as a once in a lifetime event just to see what it was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 If you’re into historic racing Porsche’s then this is an excellent event, highlight for me was to not only see the cars up close but to then stand a few feet away as they blasted past on a makeshift track at full chat. That was incredible. I’ll dig up some photos and videos and post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Ok so a bit more than a heritage scramble meeting then. Tempted to give it a bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydyrs Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I really fancy this but slightly concerned that it will be a short event like Boxengasse. Could not believe that BG was all but over by 13.30/2pm. Went for a coffee, Autofarm, BB then came out to look at cars and most had left. mybe too long a journey for 3hrs for me I’m afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglophone1 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m coming over from Ireland for it Raymond- will sort something else out for the weekend too😎 We all need to get out and do something this year - or go nuts😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 I got there at about 8am and left at 3 for the drive back, think it finished at 5. They did two full runs of the cars with a couple hours break in between. Here are some pics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 I've got a couple of videos to upload from my iphone but I can't do so, any tips please? The more I think about it the more I want to go, but, November weather, hmmm....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Would love to see the vids. Maybe upload to YouTube first then drop the links in here. Sounds/looks too good to miss. Edited September 8, 2020 by Busybee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Ok going to try this, hopefully it’ll work. I’ve uploaded to YouTube: and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Aaaah hell, after looking at photos and footage of last year I’ve gone and bought tickets, man oh man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesworth Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Lets hope the new restriction on gatherings of more than 6 people is lifted by then. I think the next Bicester event is at risk now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) From Sept. 14, groups of more than six people will be fined and banned from meeting in the United Kingdom. The new restrictions follow a sharp spike across the UK, that has been largely blamed on party-going youth. OH SH*T 😧 Edited September 9, 2020 by SurlySurdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_911 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 But fine if you are in a school or office?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I've sent an email to the organisers,,,,,hoping by November the ban is lifted 10 minutes ago, Chris_911 said: But fine if you are in a school or office?? yes that IS odd, no doubt there is justification that can be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_911 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 So who is going? Have to say that with the absence of events this year I'm tempted, though I think the risk of an increased lock-down is high. Right now it's looking mighty attractive as an opportunity to get out with the camera for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njpcarrera32 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thinking seriously about going. As you say there have been so few opportunities to get out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I sent an email to the organisers. Right now it's in the lowest of the 3 tiers, if that does not change it should be good to go. They said if they do have to postpone it they will move it to next spring and as expected honour any tickets bought or provide a full refund. As of right now I will be going, the only thing concerning me apart from it not going ahead is the weather being pants, then again, that's always a concern!

sopor Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I can't get my head around how this can go ahead given the ban on groups of more than 6 indoors or out? What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 I had the same concern at Beaulieu. What they say is any one group cannot be of more than 6 people and groups are based on social distancing so if up to 6 people are more than 2 metres apart from up to 6 other people that is considered to be two distinct groups and is allowed.
