In this month's FrazerPart Porsche podcast, Max meets with a friend and also one of our customers, Jerry, who has spoken to us at great length in the past about a track day experience that he had been on. We thought it would make a great podcast! During the interview, Jerry introduces us to the format of the "Porsche Driving Experience" held at Porsche's purpose built Silverstone facility, what he learnt, what he experienced in terms of Porsche handling and performance. Our conclusion is that this is a great way to experience how your Porsche behaves in an extremely safe environment that can only benefit your on-road driving skills.

In this month's FrazerPart Porsche podcast, Max meets with one of our customers, Martin Hall, who built and raced his own Porsche 924 race car in the Porsche Championship. Continuing with our series of affordable Porsche motoring, we now explore the world of affordable Porsche motorsport. The rules and regulations for the Porsche Championship restrict the amount of modifications and enhancements that can be made to transform a standard Porsche 924 road car into a track ready race car. This in turn keeps the costs of racing down and makes the racing far more competitive. During the interview, Martin talks with great passion and enthusiam about his race car, how he built it, how he prepared it and how he felt when he got his first podium finish! He raced the same vehicle, on a shoe string budget for 5 seasons and having had a break during the 2010 season, is now talking about racing again in 2011!
