April 2014

There's been lot's going on at P101tv since our last newsletter. We've had plenty more Porsche owners join the P101tv fraternity and as usual there are many more fabulous video and picture uploads for us all to admire. We're also pleased to announce the launch of another P101tv feature which we've named the 'P101tv Porsche Directory'. Read on for more details.

This month's "Porsche on the Cover" is VZ935's awesome Porsche 935. Make sure you take a look at this monster 935 in all it's yellow glory.


The Porsche Directory

To start our newsletter off, we are pleased to announce a new feature "The P101tv Porsche Directory". There are hundreds of Porsche related websites out there and the number continues to grow. This can make it incredibly difficult to find the Porsche information you're looking for. The Channel P101tv Porsche directory has been created to provide a single and comprehensive source of Porsche information. If you're looking for Porsche forums, engine builders, spares & parts suppliers, insurers or anything else that might be useful for a Porsche enthusiast, then this is the place for you.

So if you have your own Porsche related website why not upload the details to the directory. Or if you know someone that has a website that should be listed, please let them know about this new feature.


Frikadelli Racing

Frikadelli Racing had one of its most successful years competing in the VLN series at the legendary Nurburgring. This is a behind the scenes look to the people that form Frikadelli Racing. Charismatic TV personality, Queen of the Ring Sabine Schmitz and Klaus Abbelen talks as through what makes this racetrack unique compared to all others and the special bond they have with the place.


The Flatnose is Back!

The flatnose 911's were once the talk of the community the world over. As a limited edition special works car they were a much talked about variant of the 911 model range. Unfortunately for many years they had dropped off the rader, but recently new members of P101tv have been appearing with beautiful examples of the flatnose. The latest member Johnny has uploaded some great pictures of his own flatnose.


The Flachbau

Staying with the Flatnose theme, Porsche offered a 930 under its special order programme or "Sonderwunschprogramm" known as the "Flachbau". This was more commonly known as the "Slantnose" or "flat nose" 911. This is a rare variant of the 911 Turbo, or 930. Beginning in 1981, an otherwise normal 930 was manufactured with a 935-style slantnose instead of the normal 911 front end. Each Flachbau unit was hand built by remodeling the exisitng front wings or fenders..

The Rain Meister

The 911's have their engine at the rear. The Nurburgring has many exciting corners. The rain is always a challenge for fast driving. But all three together: This was the challenge for P101tv member Brian911s and his 911. You get a real sense for the thrill from his wonderful uploaded photos of his wet Nurburgring outing.


911 GT3's To Get New Engines

The anlysis is complete and the results are in and new engines will be fitted. This is the corrective action derived from intensive internal analyses that were initiated in response to two engine fires. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that engine damage resulted from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod. The loose connecting rod damaged the crankcase, which in both cases led to leakage of oil which then ignited.


The Self Cleaning Porsche

Porsche have always prided themselves on being ahead of the pack, and today their announcement puts them one step further ahead. Porsche have announced they will be releasing a self cleaning option under the "Sonderwunschprogramm". This breakthrough technology will mean your Porsche will clean itself
