2016 Porsche GT1 Tech Session
Pacific Northwest Region (PNR)
Porsche Club of America (PCA)
GT1 “Show & Tell”
Saturday April 30 or Sunday May 1
Attendance is limited
Registration OPENS March 10th for PCA members
Preface
The Porsche Club of America, Pacific Northwest Region would like to invite the members of the British Columbia Inland Region of the PCA to its GT1 “Show and Tell”. Because an event like this is so unique and so rarely happens, the PNWR is sharing it with other PCA Regions and other Car Clubs in the Northwest.
Have you ever been to an automotive event where they had a “World Famous” race car, along with its Race Driver, Crew Chief, Historian and Author, “Showing and Telling” how and why the car was designed, built, raced and the politics behind the scenes? I bet you have never been to such an event! In my 30 years in the PCA I have never heard of such an event. An event with a “World Famous” race car and one person associated with it is a BIG DEAL. An event with a “World Famous” race car and ALL 3 KEY “Famous” PEOPLE associated with it, is unheard of!
The Car: 1997 Porsche 993 GT1-108 - Exxon Supreme Series Champion
The car in the picture and its current owner will be at the event. Mid-engine, Twin Turbo 620 to 750 HP, 205+ mph, one of 6 cars built! It won the Series Championship without running the last race! They wanted to save the car for an AUTOWEEK photo shoot the next day
The GT1 Experts:
Andy Pilgrim is a World Famous race driver with: 64 wins in 10 different series, 5 championships,
1 World Record. His 1991 race car is in the Smithsonian. In 1997 he won the Exxon Supreme Series Championship by winning 4 races in this GT1.
Tony Callas is a Le Mans GT winner and Mechanic of the year. He is considered “THE” GT1
expert. He will remove the nose and tail on this GT1 and “Show & Tell” what is inside and how it works. He will also “Show and Tell” about racing this GT1 and other Porsches. Tony has raced at Le Mans 4 times.
Randy Leffingwell will be the “Color Commentator”. He will tell us what was happening behind
the scenes at the factory in Stuttgart. He will connect the dots from the board room, to design, to engineering, to manufacturing and to the race track. He will “Show & Tell” who did what, why when and how. Randy has interviewed over 250 Porsche: Race Drivers, Engineers and Executives and has written 12 books about Porsche.
Imagine the stories Andy, Tony and Randy will tell….
Imagine the pictures they will show…..
Races, Tracks, Wins, Losses, Cars, Drivers, Teams, Owners and Sponsors…
Why am I going to such great lengths to explain all of this?
I want to avoid hearing people say……
“I wish I would have known about that event!”
“I wish I would have understood how unique and special the event was going to be!”

GT1 “Text” Updates
“Join the PNWR/PCA Text Alert Program! Be among the 1st to get GT1 event updates on your mobile device. Text the 8 letters BCINLAND to 80309 that will opt you into the program.
I hope you now understand how rare and unique this GT1 event will be? In my April Spiel column, I will share with you the history of this 993 GT1-108 and the biographies of Andy Pilgrim, Tony Callas and Randy Leffingwell.
I look forward to seeing you at this GT1 event on April 30th. or May 1st. Please register early, the event will SELL OUT sooner than you think! Do you remember last year’s Jon Shirley Charity event? It SOLD OUT very quickly! Remember last year’s 918 TechEd? 500 PEOPLE attended that 918 event. This GT1 event is even more unique than the 918 event because of the rarity of the car and the 3 fantastic presenters. Andy, Tony and Randy are “World Class” presenters, there are many people outside the PNWR and inside the PNWR who are very interested in hearing what they have to say and what pictures they will show. Attendance will be LIMITED to 250 people per day so everyone can hear the presentations and see the car when Tony uncovers it. Please do NOT procrastinate, register early!
Register Early!
