Rennsport Detailed Schedule

[MarkP]

Thought this may be of interest...

Rennsport II at the International Speedway, Daytona Beach, April 23rd through 25th is a huge gathering of Porsche racing cars.

We would like to emphasis that the focus of this event is on the cars themselves and the unsurpassed racing history of Dr.Ing.H.C.f.Porsche AG.

Accordingly, although we have five races, the main focus of the event will be on this unprecedented gathering of Porsche racing cars, Exhibition cars and on the Concours d’Elegance – organized by Amelia Island Concours founder, Bill Warner.

Hereunder is how we envisage things happening:

IMPORTANT NOTE – PACE CARS
Due to the large size of some of the race groups, for safety reasons certain races will be split in to sections. For instance, in the 911 group, we have 110 entries. In this case the field will be divided into three separate groups. Each group will have a Pace Car at it’s head. In case of an accident in Turn 1 on the first lap, a red flag will be shown at Start/Finish, the Pace Car drivers will slow their group down to a controlled halt before the incident.
