I don't think so. We have been told in Pano that all 59 cars will be MY2016's. That MY production doesn't start until June of 2015. So I don't expect these 'Club Blau' cars to be built until the summer. The only MY2015 'Club Blau' is #01, which is the one to be raffled off to a PCA member - and probably the winner will be announced at the PCA Parade in June at French Lick, Indiana.

Rennsport is a safer bet. If they were smart, PCNA & PCA would coordinate and bring all 59 'Club Blau' cars to Laguna Seca and lined them all up for delivery to their owners and then take a lap of Laguna Seca. This is pretty much how Mini organized the delivery of their initial Limited Edition 'numbered' GP models back in August of 2006:

It would be a publicity bonanza for both PCNA and PCA. One for the record books! Just an idea, but I hope it's considered.

Correct.

Yes. And the former PCA president has hinted at that in a previous post here on Rennlist:



Good luck to Tim and all other hopeful PCA members that entered the drawing and have not yet been selected.

I was lucky enough to have been selected in the first round and plan to purchase. I also have already purchased my tickets to Rennsport and would love to take delivery there. However, that would mean my wife would have to drive the '94 GTS home... might need to reconsider how we are getting there

Delivery at Rennsport or gathering at Rennsport would both be big fun. Looking forward to moving off of first base (it being opening day and all).

If the take rate holds true, there will be 5-7 cars left after this round. Hopefully, they open the doors to move forward without going through a couple more rounds.

as the numbers get smaller , they can do two 48 hr rounds per week...like the 13 notifications on Mon 4/6 at 5pm EDT and then 5-7 on Wed 4/8 at 5pm -6pm EDT, hopefully wrap it all up by end day Fri Apr 17

Hey @TargaTim, how long did the process take for the 50th anniversary Club Coupe? Any insight about how this is process is similar / different?

I got mine pre-owned. Did not get picked 10 years ago.

Almost 11am here now, no email, guess I need a fourth round.

+1, PCA office must be closing soon, so Vu must have sent all the emails for today out by now. Doesn't sound like any Rennlisters were selected this time (or they are too busy considering it to post?)

Hope the take rate is as low as last time, and there are still 7 more to hand out in Rd. 4, and that they don't wait until next Monday to draw the next names--the suspense is killing me...

No email and no one from this group got the call so it will be interesting to see how many left in a couple days.

No call for me either. I think I might be relieved.
