I think the ground will be wet especially in the low areas near turn 2, For many years I used to park on the grass between the road and track in that area, in those days I had a silver Audi TT 3.2 and before that a black GTI VR6, it was a great place to view the race. I don't think you can park there any longer.

I'll be in that general area but tend to walk anywhere from the start/finish line to Moss corner taking pictures, not sure where we will set up the chairs. Last year we parked near entrance 7 (easy exit after the races) and set the chairs close to the fence, may attempt the same this year.

I'll watch for the Grey Kona.

I'm surprised there have not been more responses. Who goes to Porscheplatz that is not on Rennlist I wonder?

I missed it and regret it... Must have been great to see all those cars. Looking forward to attending in 2017. Would be even better if I was racing in a support race... but I doubt that will happen!

Anybody have some pics to share?

Porscheplatz is... well... not my kind of scene. I find it not very accommodating to others...

It was a great race, I started in corner 2 then went to the outside of 1, 2 and 3...over to 5a/b and finished off around corner 7. I was back in Ottawa by 6. I know foxfx aired it and may repeat the broadcast (as they seem to have very little new shows)

It was a great day.

We started in the pits then worked our way around the outside to the bottom of the hill just passed turn 2, set up the lawn chairs and enjoyed the race.

Saw a few cycles but no Grey Kona on the access road in front of us.

I must admit that the top tier cars no longer seem to make the race, seems to be a trend in recent years, but still a good day.

It would be nice to see Audi and Porsche prototypes over here. The Audi's were something to see years ago

Thanks Keith! I hope to find time soon to watch the race...

3 wide in turn two takes a lot of trust, well done to all three! (But they didn't have much choice to not spin!)
