Mike, Chris asked me to give you a call. I left a message. I am really happy the GT3 is staying in this area. I already miss it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. We're going to have fun this summer.

Porsche of London has sold a number of GT4s, GT3s and GT3 RSs. How many will be running at Grand Bend Raceway?

924s, 944s, 914s, Boxsters, Caymans, 911s and all other cars are welcome. I know of a lot of Honda S2000s that will be running as well.

Cheers, John, I've been in New York for a few days... hopefully will call you late in the week. Can't wait to get the GT3 on the road!

Just came across this thread. I'm in Sarnia so Grand Bend is just a short drive up the lake for me. I'll definitely try and make it out to several events this year.
Looking forward to some spring driving!

Jean-Marc. It will great to have you join us this year. More and more Porsche Owners are discovering Grand Bend Raceway. Spread the word that we have a place to use our cars the way they were designed for.

Bring your Porsche out to play off the leash.

Daylight Savings Time. Spring is coming! Last year saw more Porsche Cars at the Bend then ever before. Watch for even more in 2016.

I see my former 2009 Boxster listed in the AutoTrader this morning. This was my first Porsche and the car that got me hooked on Track Days. I had Porsche of London install some Spyder Suspension Pieces as well as PDK programming for Sport Plus. It was really a fun car on the street as well as the track. This lead to the Cayman R, then the 991 GT3 and finally a 991 RS which should be landing in Canada soon. The Boxster is in the London Area and would make a great car for Grand Bend Raceway Lapping.

Those are a couple of great looking cars, John! I'm looking forward to getting the GT3 out on the track this spring. I totally agree that we are so fortunate to have Grand Bend Speedway in our area. The Spriets are good friend of mine, and Paul is a great guy. BTW, I'm amazed at how compliant the ride is on the GT3. Much easier to drive and much more friendly to passengers than my 997.2 Turbo was. Incredible car! cheers

John Elliot

Mike, I found the more I drove the GT3 the more I liked it. A great all around car with very impressive performance. Just wait until you unleash it on the Track

I was told yesterday that my RS has landed in Canada and should arrive in London within a week. I believe it may arrive with the latest edition 911s. The 2017 Carrera and Carrera S Turbos will probably impress on the Track.

If you live in this part of Ontario, try joining us at Grand Bend Raceway, Track Rookies are encouraged to experience how much Fun your Porsche can be, no matter the year or horsepower.

We still have not seen any Cayman GT4s, hope to early in the season.

What's the track like regarding condition and configuration?

Bit of a haul from TO but it's always fun to explore and share a great day!

The Grand Bend Raceway Technical Circuit is 2.8 Kilometers. The Track is flat, good run off, curbs and the asphalt is in great condition over the past few years. Mild Winter so I assume it will be good this year as well. I've heard mostly positive comments from people who run there. I've added a Track outline. There are numberous Videos on YouTube. One Minute Ten Seconds is what I ran for a lap time with the GT3.

Porsche has used the track to introduce new models such as the 981s and GTS to people in this area.

The Grand Bend Raceway Staff are great. Everyone seems to enjoy running there.

Grand Bend itself is about 5 minutes away and has restaurants, shops, golf course and a great beach.

Not Mosport but a terrific place to play with your Porsche.
