A Match Made in Heaven: TAG Heuer and Porsche, a beautiful friendship from the very beginning …

Some say opposites attract. And when it comes to magnetic fields or battery terminals, we’d be inclined to agree. But when it comes to lasting partnerships that really make history, we’re of the opinion that a shared philosophy is the secret to success. Like any great kindred spirits, TAG Heuer and Porsche truly are ‘driven’ by the same desire.

Tradition, present and future

The International Porsche Classic Club Presidents’ Meeting 2021 in Speyer and Hockenheim is the first event of its kind after the enforced break due to the pandemic. The last major international Club Presidents’ Meeting took place in Portimão in 2019. Whereas the Classic Meetings in recent years were held as Classic Round Tables, often within the framework of the AvD-Classic-Grand-Prix at the Nürburgring, this time a format comparable to the international Presidents’ Meetings was chosen, with an agenda including workshops, driving events and road trips.

Back on track

With the International Porsche Days Zell am See, the worldwide Porsche Club Community started off into the post-Covid era. And hands on hearts, there is no better place for a fantastic new start than the home of the Porsche brand.

Back on track - Part 2

Taking action makes all the difference

The Porsche Club Nürburgring proudly bears two big names on its chest. And it stands by its responsibility for the region in the flood disaster around the Nürburgring.

Zell am See: a place that combines tradition with the future.

The Schüttgut estate above Lake Zell in the Salzburg region has been owned by the Porsche family since the beginning of 1942 and served as a safe and remote retreat during the turbulent war years. Today Zell am See is inseparably associated with the name of Porsche. The former retreat residence is the focal point of the Porsche family, home of the International Porsche Days Zell am See, and the venue of the GP Ice Race.

Covid-19 care package deluxe

The wonderful aroma of freshly brewed espresso or cappuccino “to drive”, and also exquisite packed lunches for the journey. In spite of the restrictions due to the pandemic, the Porsche Classic Club Luxembourg made its spring outing an unforgettable experience for its grateful Club members.

Dobro došli! Welcome to the family!

The Porsche Club Adria was recognised as an official Porsche Club with number 353 in summer 2020. Together with the Porsche Motorsport Club Suisse founded in 2021, this makes it one of the youngest Porsche Clubs in the world. It is also an example of the fact that Porsche Club life continues in difficult times and – with corresponding ambition – can even be the start of something new.

Long-running love

In 2020, the Porsche Club 968 Deutschland marked its 25th anniversary. One year later, the last transaxle series now celebrates its 30th birthday. It therefore goes without saying that the Club and President Reinhard Quante have come up with something special: from 18 to 19 September 2021, international guests, Club members and 968 drivers from surrounding European countries will meet up for a rally in South Hesse to drive along the Bergstraße between Michelstadt and Seeheim as a worthy celebration of their exotic Porsche car.

Porsche Passion: Leonard Zechiedrich

“I build them, and I drive them.”

Porsche Club of America member at a young age, President of the PCA White River Region in Arkansas and founder of the second-largest annual PCA Porsche event, the “PCA Palooza”. And not least a dedicated enthusiast of early air-cooled 911s. Leonard Zechiedrich’s life is all about Porsche and Porsche passion. “There is no single day without Porsche,” says the American. “My life is Porsche.”

80/80

Ottocar is an old-school gentleman driver. And a collector whose passion for cars has cemented his loyalty to the Porsche brand for decades. The Austrian Porsche Club member has owned 80 Porsche cars during his life as a collector. He collected his 80th car, a latest-generation Boxster Spyder, from Zuffenhausen together with Global Community Management on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

Death is always on board

Lauda, Linge, Clausecker and the ONS mobile track marshalling crew

Hans Clausecker was one of the first drivers in the ONS mobile track marshalling crew established by Herbert Linge in 1973. Over the course of 15 years, the old Porsche hand experienced many tragic moments, but was also right in the middle of the motorsport action, and learned a great deal about camaraderie, racing and legendary race tracks.

Proudly bearing the Porsche Crest

A Porsche bicycle adventure on the 184.5-mile C&O Canal Towpath from Washington, DC to Cumberland, Maryland, USA.

Bernard Blouin – Factory collection in difficult times

This factory collection made a lifelong dream come true for the member of the Canadian Rennsport Region. “My dream, as a lifelong Porsche enthusiast, was to pick up a Porsche that has been customised according to my specifications from where it was actually built.” After all, it was quite a brave undertaking in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

Club moments: roads back to normal

The coronavirus pandemic has meant one thing above all for Porsche Clubs worldwide: having to forego many things that make up Club life. But in some places, creative Clubs have shown how it is possible to return to normality step-by-step and mile-by-mile in spite of the need to keep your distance.

Club Moments: Porsche Rennbow – The Fascination of Colours

“Rennbow” is the colour database of the Porsche Club of America (PCA). Here, Porsche enthusiasts from the US collect all the paint finishes of Porsche models from 1950 to 2020 – a fascinating play of colors.

At home in the Green Hell

It is both revered and feared. It characterises the Eifel region and its people. Its Nordschleife tells stories of tears, victories, defeats and triumphs. The Nürburgring is called the “Green Hell” for a good reason. But the people at the Ring also shape the stories of the legendary race track. They carry the Ring in their hearts and the Ring is an integral part of their lives. Here's to the Porsche Club Nürburgring on its 60th anniversary.

“The Diamond is on fire”

A man from Upper Palatinate in Leipzig: Christian Hartinger has been President of the Porsche Club Leipzig for two years. His motto: “The Club must be alive”.

A Club portrait on the occasion of its anniversary.

A year for celebration — despite the coronavirus pandemic

Numerous Porsche Clubs are celebrating their anniversaries this year. However, several celebrations had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. But the Clubs will not let this get them down. Because one thing is certain: there is a Club life both during and after Covid-19.

“We are a big Club in small places“

The Porsche Club Norge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary. A profile.

Club Racer

At 16 years of age, Mateo Llarena Rosenthal is the youngest racing driver in Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup history. And what is more: Mateo is an enthusiastic member of the Porsche Club Guatemala.

Porsche Community Management’s Mathias Menner welcomed Mateo to the nucleus of Porsche’s world and made a very special wish come true for the young racing driver: a personal tour of the museum and a visit to Porsche Collection’s non-public vehicle storage facility.

The international Club world is diverse and unique. You can write about your trips, anniversaries and Club events in the “Porsche Clubs report for Clubs” section. If you upload a report to Porsche Club News and wish to share it with the Porsche Club Community, write to us at contact@porscheclubnews.com.
