PORSCHE ANNOUNCES RENNSPORT REUNION VI TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 2018
The world's largest gathering of Porsche race cars and drivers to return to the Monterey Peninsula

ATLANTA, Aug. 15, 2017 -- Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca today announced the next Porsche Rennsport Reunion will take place at the famed California racetrack in 2018. The upcoming Family Reunion has been expanded to four days and will be held September 27-30, 2018.

In what has become a tradition, Rennsport Reunion VI will bring together an extraordinary gathering of significant Porsche racecars, as well as those who have designed, engineered, and driven them to victory in the world's most famous sports car races. Hosted by PCNA, the four-day program of on-track competition will be complemented by a Concours d'Elegance, which is open to invited race participants.

After staging the first three events in the east, with the inaugural at Lime Rock Park in 2001, followed by two events at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida in 2004 and 2007, Rennsport Reunion IV moved west in 2011, tapping into a vast array of west coast car aficionados and Porsche enthusiasts. Returning to a three-year interval, this incomparable event has turned into a world-wide happening.

"Choosing the Monterey Peninsula once again for our unique Porsche family reunion builds upon what we learned from previous Rennsport Reunions," said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "We had close to 60,000 fans, enthusiasts and owners come through the gates of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to celebrate with us in 2015, and California's picturesque central coast provides an ideal backdrop. The Golden State as a whole has always been like a second home to Porsche."

"We are honored to have been selected once again as the host circuit for Porsche Rennsport Reunion," said Gill Campbell of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. "This prestigious event has created a tremendous impact on motorsports around the world in the past and we are eager to bring it back to life again in partnership with Porsche. It is truly the most rewarding event I have ever had the pleasure of being involved in."

During Porsche Rennsport Reunion V in 2015, over 1,300 Porsche Club of America (PCA) member-owned Porsche models helped fill the show fields, race classes, and parking lots of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to overflow capacity. For the upcoming sixth rendition, the PCA will once again play an integral role in the festivities.

Additional details and ticket information will be published on the Porsche press website (www.press.porsche.com) and on Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca's website (http://www.mazdaraceway.com), as they become available.

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. It was a great event last year and I'm excited to go again in 2018.

I tried to book a hotel room already and it says that they're 97% booked on Hotels.com. I assume that it should open up as we approach next year.

Great news Eduardo- OK, we will have to have a Rennlist Reunion II, and I'm putting a marker down for you to prioritize it on your busy social calendar so you don't miss it this time!!

You never know if all our PTS wishes do come true, it could be really colorful as well!

FJSeattle

I plan on going.

I beat you to it Eduardo! Couple posts below. But I know you are the master on this forum so let's make this the main thread regarding RRVI! Can't wait!

Reservations made

mass27

Where are you guys making reservations? Maybe we could block out a bunch of RL rooms.

If you remember, I was there just for drinks
but could not stay for dinner at Baja Cantina!
Talked to Mooty, Whoopsy, Alan Smithee &
others at your event! As you might recall, I
hosted a party at my home for nearly 100
Porsche friends attending Rennsport V! And
I had done the same thing for Rennsport IV
years earlier! Unfortunately, I sold that house
in Carmel Point last year...



And for Rennsport VI, I might end up at Motel 6
in Marina!

As you must know, nothing could make me happier
than to see EVERY ONE of you that asked for PTS
on your .2 991 gt3 have the requests APPROVED
by Germany! Indeed I would love to see in the
parking lot of whichever restaurant in September
2018 (God willing!) we hold our reunion a sea of
PTS gt3s like these Targas below:



I just hope PAG doesn't break hearts after all
of these built-up PTS expectations!

I did not see yours at first. But you are right,
you were first! Sorry. I am the farthest thing
from the Master of this forum. But I'll take
your comment as a compliment. I saw your
father at Concours-on-the-Avenue today. Give
him my regards!

Saludos,
Eduardo
Presently in Carmel but not for long!

^ Yes Eduardo, I do recall you trying your best to spend us much time with us as possible, we just wanted you all to ourselves! It was great time and was great to meet you the next day and spend quality time with you.

Also, while I couldn't partake in your opening event the night before, it was a really welcome and warm gesture, it's a shame you sold your beautiful house!

We'll see as we get closer, but we will definitely need to create some sort of meet and greet at Rennsport VI. Some pics, not your car, but..



Bobby driving Graham's car!



Cool!

I will be coming all the way from Sydney Australia for the event, so following this thread with great interest.

Any tips and advice around things to do before and after the event is greatly appreciated. Particularly if it's Porsche and Motorsport related even better!

Hope to meet some of you out there!
