It was designed to Drive and Enjoy.

First Porsche of London Track Day is Friday May 25th at Grand Bend Raceway. You can contact them to reserve a spot.

I'm anxious to have my 18 Boxster 718 GTS ready. It has arrived and is ready to be picked up.

Saturday May 5th is opening day. May is a busy month at Grand Bend Raceway. The forecast for Saturday looks good.

This Saturday is one of only two Saturday's scheduled in 2018 (the other is in October). I will be registering shortly and taking my 11 year old son for the ride. If anyone is going and happens to have a youth helmet that I could borrow or rent please let me know.

I called in today and confirmed that they do have helmets to rent for $20/day. Not ideal since the smallest size they have is a medium, but that will be my last resort.

They have 11 people signed up so far which isn't a huge amount. That might just mean more uninterrupted track time

The 718 GTS Boxster just turned 2,850 Kilometers and is getting a set of Pirelli Trofeo R tires at Porsche of London in the morning. Then off to The BEND on Saturday morning for the opening 2018 Track Day.

Perfect weather today. We had a good turnout today, three were Porsche cars including a couple of nice 911s as well as my 718 GTS Boxster. I was pleased with the 718, no over heating or any problems. I ran a 72.15 Lap on the Technical Circuit in the first 15minute session which was better than my best of 73.0 with my Cayman R which had an IPD Plenum, GT3 Throttle Body, Fabspeed Exhaust, RS3 Tires and Competition Brake Pads.

We return this coming Thursday Evening.

Thanks Porsche of London for another excellent Track Day at Grand Bend Raceway’s Technical Circuit. Great group of people, great food and lots of Track Time and Coaching.

It was hot today but with a nice breeze. I was very pleased my new 718 GTS Boxster ran without a hiccup all day in the hot weather. 20 Minute Lapping sessions without any over heating or limp modes, just like all the other Porsche models I have driven on the track.
