See supplements as of 25/08/2023 below!

We are less than a month away from our fifth track day of the year. Kirkistown Motor Racing Circuit will be hosting us on Saturday September 9th: this will be our second visit to the fastest track in Ireland in 2023, I just can’t wait.

Now is the time for you to register. The parade lap hosted by Porsche Centre Dublin to commemorate the brand’s 75-year anniversary celebration during the Mondello Park Historic Festival last Sunday left many of us wanting for proper on-track action, it was great though but this is when we get to experience the real deal. if you missed this cracking event please have a look HERE.


This will be a Members-Only, Porsches-Only Event.

 
All Porsches are welcome: bring your Cayennes, Panameras, Boxsters, Caymans, 911s, Taycans, Macans and Classic Porsches. PCI Track Day fun has never been limited to GT cars. In-car coaching, passengers and guests are permitted.
 

It's not just the cars, it's the people.

 
Please find the fee schedule as follows: 

  • Porsche + Driver Club Member: €250
  • Co-Driver: €75
  • Newcomers (a Club member who has never been to a PCI Track Day as a Driver): €75
    • The Newcomers Offer consists of Lead-Follow laps driving your own Porsche around Kirkistown following a P-Car driven by a PCI Coach at the beginning of the event and a full coaching session during the event.
  • Passengers: no charge
  • Guests: no charge

Payments are non-refundable.
Registrations may be made until 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday September 6th at the regular rate. A late registration surcharge of €30 will apply after that time.
 
A few important notes:

 
This full-day event is sponsored by PCI with the assistance of our PCI & Track Skills coaches so the track day will follow the format you are already used to from previous events at Kirkistown. Don’t worry if you’re a newcomer however, we will have a mandatory Drivers/Co-Drivers briefing session via Zoom in advance of the track day. The exact time and date of this meeting will be announced in the next few weeks and as well as the schedule for the day.

Drivers and Co-Drivers must produce a valid EU or UK Full Driving Licence on the day. Kirkistown Motor Racing Circuit will not allow you on track without one.

Everyone must wear a helmet while on track. Please bring your own as there is no assurance any will be available at the track.

As in our previous track day, we are staying overnight on Saturday to regroup, have a meal, compare notes and post-track day experiences, it was sensational last time around and it will only get better. Let me know if you want to join us after you are done with your registration so I can share the hotel details.
