November 2013

November is upon us and for some, the days are getting shorter and colder. That hasn't stopped P101tv members from uploading more videos and pictures of their Porsches for us all to see. We've added one major new feature this month, and that's to increase site security.

This month's "Porsche on the Cover" is Can Jim's 1968 911S Targa ready for a refresh. Head over and take a look at this rare beauty before it gets restored.


Old Timer Grand Prix

P101tv member Brian911s went along to the Nuburgring Old timer Grand prix. The 41st edition of the Old timer Grand Prix at the Nurburgring was held from 9th – 11th August 2013. During the three-day event it was possible to see the most beautiful, rarest and most fascinating race cars in the history of motor sports and Brian was there to capture the event on his camera.


GT3 Cup Experience

We are not all lucky enough to own a Porsche GT3 Cup Car. Channel P101tv member Porschephile has uploaded a great little video of his experience in a GT3 Cup Car. If like many of us Porsche fans you can't quite save enough money to buy one of these awesome machines, then take a look at Porschephile's experience and maybe think about having a go yourself!.

Porsche Insurance

There was no Official Martini Turbo

Martini's first sponsorship program happened in a minor event at the Hockenheimring in 1968. Martini Racing was then formed to enter two Porsche 907 in several sports car races in 1969 to back up the factory effort. But despite popular belief there was not ever an official MArtini Turbo!


What about your Porsche Tyre Pressures

We've been playing around with tyre pressures recently and it got us thinking about how little emphasis we pay to tyre pressures compared to all the other performance enhancements we make. So having done some research here's an article with a few pointers for getting your tyre pressure right.


A Blast from the Past

We've put together a few pictures of the Porsche based Ruf CTR 1 or "Yellowbird" as named by the press. We think the CTR 1 is a true supercar if not hypercar from it's day. Produced in 1987 it produced 469bhp from it's 3.3l engine and was capable of 0 to 60mph in just 3.7seconds and could achieve a giddy 211mph. That's pretty impressive even today!


Channel P101tv Window Stickers

Don't forget you can now get a Channel P101tv window sticker for your Porsche. We've seen a few Porsches wearing the Channel P101tv sticker at a few events this year. We'd just like to say a big Thank you! We think the stickers are a great addition to any Porsche and a great way to show your support for Channel P101tv.
