27 Mar 2018|1,510 views
The event was the Australian debut of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the fastest and most powerful 911 with approval for use on the road. Local hero and Porsche ambassador Mark Webber, who was involved in the development of this high-performance model, was on-hand to drive the GT2 RS around the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit. The first Australian-bound version of this car was also on display at the event.
Webber and the GT2 RS was a part of the exclusive Porsche Pole Position track activity on the Wednesday prior to the event, where Porsche owners experience the special privilege of driving their Porsche sports cars around the GP circuit at speed.
In addition to the 911 GT2 RS, seven vehicles commemorating the last 70 years of Porsche racing in Australia were on display in the Porschestrasse (translation: Porsche street) situated next to the Porsche Wilson Security Carrera Cup Australia paddock, between Turn One and the Albert Park Lake. This display ranged from a 1951 Porsche 356 Cabriolet up to a 2017 Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
