Kingsville here, just in the process of working out a deal on a turbo. I still have my Z06 as a last resort. Will be signing up for a few days this year. I just shot Tim @ Porsche London a note.

Ps saw your Cayman @ the dealer not too long ago, stunning car!

John Elliot

Tim and the guys and gals at Porsche of London are great people. Hope to see you at the Bend. We have fun.

I had a great time last year. I'm going to try to get one or two in later in the summer.
if you click on the 928 link in my signature you will see a you tube video of the Grand bend lapping day

Great video!

It looks like you were pushing it pretty hard, were you not? Excuse the newb questions

John Elliot

Thanks for posting the Video. Online registration should be open soon. I Pre-registered by emailing the Bend. I need to pick up the GT3 soon to start breaking in the motor for the May 2nd opener.

That was a fun day out. Weather was awesome. Looking forward to a repeat this year.

Call them for more information or to pre-register.

I received the invite to the Porsche of London track days. Quite the price increase from last year ($330 from $200), which makes the PCA UCR DE & lapping days look more appealing IMO. Either that, or just open lapping @ Grand Bend for $65/$125 for the evening/day.

I received the invite too. Yes a bit of a jump in price. I am attending the PCA UCR DE in May and its 2 days... for about the same price.

I won't be at any Porsche London days this year as 3 of 4 conflict with PCA DE events.
They do put on a good event and you get almost as much track time in a day as you would on a DE weekend.

I'm signed up for the opening day - Saturday May 2nd - which will be my first time on the track with a 911. All my previous experience is with a Honda S2000 CR, Boxster and my Cayman R. I'm also booked for the Porsche of London Day which I'm looking forward to because they will have Driving Instructors who can coach me in the GT3.

I really like CTMP but I it is a pretty good drive from London. My wife has had some medical issues over the winter and I need to stay closer to home. I feel fortunate to finally have a Track in this part of Ontario. The difference is that now I can do Car Lapping 2 or 3 times a month instead of 2 or 3 times a year.

If anyone is interested in a Cayman R PDK that is set up for Car Lapping mine is at London. I would really love to see it running at Grand Bend Raceway. It has a GMG Roll Bar, 2 sets of Porsche Seats, Sparco Belts, HRE and OZ Wheels, IPD Plenum, Fabspreed Exhaust, 3 sets of Wheels and Tires, Giro Discs, Pagid Pads, extended warranty. Only reason for selling is I bought the GT3. More Pictures https://www.flickr.com/photos/132447...7651897737661/

See you at the Track.

I picked up the GT3 today and started the Engine and Rotor break in. I ended up in the staging lanes at Grand Bend Raceway to introduce the car to the home track. The Track looked great however I promised to stay off until opening day on May 2nd.
