Live From Sebring!

Over 55 enthusiastic Connecticut Valley Region members gathered for a special “Sebring Start Party” presented by Hoffman Porsche. We all cheered the stunning new Porsche 963 on for the demanding 12 hour classic. What a great way to start the race and Porsche’s 75th anniversary year! A special thanks goes out to Karan Singh and the whole Hoffman Porsche team!

In a groundbreaking first, not only was the race live-streamed to the Hoffman Porsche showroom but we were also treated to a live race-side interview with CVR member and ace photographer Walt Hyjek.

Topping off the event, just 30 minutes before we arrived, PCA Raffle winner Jason Martin’s custom ordered Cayman GTS arrived directly from the port! A stunning white-on-white-on white combo made us all wish we were Jason. Beautifully spec’ed-out!
