The Porsche “EASTER NATIONALS” at The Bend
Friday 15th and Saturday 16th April 2022
2 FULL DAYS OF TRACK ACTION AT THE “WORLDS BEST MOTORSPORT PARK”
It is that time again… two days of fun, bringing together Porsche Club Members and a spectacular grid of cars competing across several formats, plus passenger laps.
PCSA has hired The Bend International Circuit for two days over the Easter weekend to provide an event that is exclusively for members of Australian Porsche Clubs.
There is opportunity for more than 3 hours of track time across the two day format, after which Easter Sunday and Monday can be spent relaxing with family, touring the many SA wineries, or return travel for our interstate guests.
2021 entrants have already been granted express entry and remaining availability is now being offered to all Porsche Clubs of Australia members. Entry in the 2022 event will ensure you receive the invite guaranteeing you place for Easter 2023.
This year’s event is already 75% filled and numbers are limited to ensure a low track density.
DATE:
Friday 15th & Saturday 16th of April 2022
ENTRY FEE:
Entry Fee is $1350 (inclusive of timing and a garage)
TRACK LAYOUT:
The Bend International Circuit
FORMAT
Practice / Sprints / Regularity + Passenger laps (refer event schedule on page 3).
The format is largely the same as the 2021 event and slight changes for 2022 include:
A track familiarisation on Friday morning to provide sighting laps for those who have never driven the track (or those who could use a reminder)
Reduced sprint sessions to 18min based on driver feedback from last year
Moved the regularity to Saturday
Added sprint 7 (optional - not part of competition)
Added a trophy category for “classic cars”
Added some passenger laps at the end of the day on Friday (as well as Saturday)
DINNER
We will again plan a Friday night dinner for all entrants, support crew and family.
ON-SITE ACCOMODATION
The Bend have reserved some rooms at the Rydges Pit Lane Hotel, and provided a booking link for Porsche Club entrants.

If there is enough interest by Porsche Club members, we will seek to form a dedicated group (advise sprint@pcsa.asn.au if you plan to enter Thursday practice and we can coordinate garage locations and groupings with The Bend).
