This is an incredible offering of not one, but two ‘Precision’ level Porsche Experiences at the RACQ Mobility Centre of Excellence at Mt Cotton in Queensland as well as a set of high-performance Michelin tyres.
The auction is being hosted by Lloyds Auctions and will be a part of the inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night, which will pay tribute to Dick Johnson at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa on Friday October 25.
The event is being held in conjunction with the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 weekend, which will also host the penultimate round of the 2024 Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Championship.
The items will remain in place until the PIRTEK Legends Night goes live at 9pm (AEST) on October 25 with Lloyds simulcasting live from the JW Marriott Ballroom. Meaning you can place your final bids from home or if you are a guest at the dinner.
A range of Porsches will be driven throughout the day at Mount Cotton including 718 Boxster, 718 Cayman, 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, 911 Carrera GTS, Macan GTS and Taycan GTS. There will also be passenger ride experiences in the Taycan GTS and a Cayenne (off-road).
The winning bidder will receive guidance on correct seating position, steering and vision control; high-speed ABS emergency braking and accident avoidance; an introduction to the ideal line; load-changing scenarios; understeer and oversteer; slalom and handling section and closed road circuit lapping.
All Porsche Track Experience cars are fitted with only the best Michelin rubber and as part of this prize, the lucky bidder will also take home a set of high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport 4, 5 or 4S tyres for their personal road car – up to the recommended retail of $2,500.
The tyres will be delivered personally to your chosen workshop and all you have to do is pay for fitting. To make this even more exclusive, Michelin will also be throwing in one of their famous motorsport podium caps used at tier one events all over the world.
To be eligible for the Porsche experience a driver must be 18 years of age and have a full driver’s license or P Plates.
PIRTEK Legend’s Night coordinator, Brett “Crusher” Murray applauded the involvement of Porsche and Michelin.
“Names don’t come much bigger than Porsche and Michelin and it is great to have both awesome brands involved in our inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night,” said Murray.
“They both have enormous history and credibility in motorsport worldwide and their support of this initiative is proof of their commitment to the wider community.”
