2020 Euro Early911sreg gathering?

Hi I am just thinking out loud.
Should we try to put something together next fall?
If yes what type of event?
I have something like a "Sternfahrt" in mind - perhaps with a little less of planning overhead compared to 2017 but am pretty much open to any idea that is feasible.
When we're 10-15 cars we can probably have it on a "everybody pays his own bill and books his own bed" strategy making it easy for the organizers having only to take care of lunch dinner and route.
How about meeting
a.) in the swiss/french alps
b.) austrian/italian alps
c.) south of munich north of austria
d.) alsace / black forest
e.) Odenwald Germany
f.) Allgäu/Bavaria/Swabian Alb
having 2-3 days of driving togther.
I'd like to have stints of 170-250km / day
The travel to the meeting point could also be done in groups similar to Monte carlo. Meet at a couple of places across europe and drive from there to the venue.
When everybody books his own Hotel the evenings should be at some larger citys - not my cup of tea but it makes organization easier.
I have planned my 6.000 km Goodwood trip this year with Scenic app (which is available for android and ios) on an ipad and it is really the first app that works for me - so I would save the hassle of doing a printed Roadbook the app will do well enough.

I am also open to other locations but c-f would be easiest for me to organize.

As I travel to goodwod revival next year anyway this might be a target too. On the way to there is germany luxembourg, belgium, france and england. However finding acommodation in Goodwood is already difficult for revival 2020.

Let me hear what you think.

Cheers
Uli

(PS: if I commit - it happens)

I'm in, option b) my favorite

I´m in.

A,B or D

Sounds interesting....

Sounds very interesting. I will not have a drivable longhood at that moment. If C3.o is accepted...

All options are OK.

I'm also interested, ption B or D

Regards from Belgium

Me neither... I don't have a problem with watercooled or even non Porsche. It's a meeting among like minded.
And also there might be the possibility of sombody looking for a Co-Pilot. As long as we're not mixing in modern supercars with no ground clearance it should not be a problem.

Hi Uli!

Great idea - every possibility looks tempting.

In the Allgäu - region i can provide some help & support ;).

I've promised my wife we'd visit her family in Slovakia next fall. I'd be interested in making this part of the trip (assuming loudmouth Yanks are welcome).

Yes you are

So I did some research regarding School Holidays - you do not want to be stuck in season trafic.
School Summer holidays in Germany & Switzerland & France end in August. In Austria latest is 13th Sept in Italy 15th September.
Goodwood ends 13th. Sept. So I would put 18th. to 20th Sept. as a possible date. Depending where it takes place it might take up to 2 days to get there (on small roads) from where I live or 3-4 days from France Belgium Netherlands.
I've been to the Austrian/Italian alps a couple of years ago, but I am far from knowing them. So there I would not be of much help in regards to planning a roundtrip.

Let's hear some more opinions

Here some tips for Suisse - Italy ... my trip a couple of years ago. But still so much willing Austria Italy option ... Zell-am-See, Großglockner tour possibly :)

Slovakia where? My family live in Prague, in case we're doing the Austria-Italy I will take the Carrera 3.0 I have there (Prague) and we can drive part of the return trip together.

Ciao Massimo and all others that might be interested
I was playing with some austria / italy maps.
I came to the conclusion that 250 km is way too less and 3 days are not enough.
I like the idea of staying 2 days in the same hotel so not packing unpacking every day (saves some desperately needed 30 minutes of sleep).

With the idea of book your own bed only cities/regions with a couple of hotels would qualify for the stays.
So I came up with these 4 tours - these will be too hard I guess when you're not two drivers per car.
What's your opinion? make it 5 days? have shorter tours? or drink less and sleep more?

Day 1: 321km 17.150 meters elevation Dornbirn-Dornbirn
https://kurviger.de/?point=47.41331%...Esri%20Streets

Day 2: 388km 26.125 meters elevation Dornbirn-Merano/Scena
https://kurviger.de/?point=47.41331%...Esri%20Streets

Day 3: 311km 21.600 meters elevation Merano/Scena-Merano/Scena
https://kurviger.de/?point=46.660788...Esri%20Streets

Day 4: 393km 29.600 meters elevation Merano/Scena-Dornbirn
https://kurviger.de/?point=46.660788...Esri%20Streets

I think three days maximum will be better for people who also have to get there somehow ... nevertheless, as usual, people could join and leave at will. 250 km is way too little ... on these roads I'd say 350 can be an acceptable mileage, balanced between AM and PM.

Piestany. If we make the trip, I'd be interested in hitting Prague too. My wife is there now and I haven't been in 20 years.

So, this is the road I think we can follow ... unless you wish to go straight to Piešťany, in that case after Lienz we can drive to Vienna and Bratislava.

Bumb! Anyone joining?

I’ve been trying to persuade my wife to move to Portugal for several years. I’ll turn up my efforts and try to join you. Wish me luck.

Hmm There is also Le mans classic next year , first weekend of july !

where I know alot of guys are going

maybe a round trip early in that week with distanation Le mans

Maybe in addition to? :p

Darn. I just shipped back two cars from Germany though.

Maybe I’d bring an RS.

Interested. I have my hand up for every trip going next year.:)

Dave

I've booked a hotel in Dornbirn for the night 17th to 18th Sept and two nights from 18th to 20th Sept in Merano today.
This means I'll do the trip no matter whether I'm alone or we're 30 cars.
If you'll book anything I'd recommend to look for something with the possibility to cancel without fees up to a reasonable point in time.
If I find the time I'll test drive the tours and look for Restaurants for lunch/snack and dinner along the route once snow has melted in june/july probably with a friend in two (pretty long) days.

As this is the weekend after Goodwood revival it might be attractive as a larger tour to visit goodwood and then drive to the alps. Leave goodwood on sunday - stay in Belgium on Monday - Nürburgring to Baden Baden on Tuesday - Baden Baden Black Forest to Dornbirn on Wednesday, then 4 Days Austria and Italy

our natural terrain since years.....

Great trip Haul, hope we can meet at this gathering!

https://youtu.be/O6DxD2EwhkA

Uli, would there be time for a Porsche museum visit.? Seems it's only one hour from Baden Baden.

Dave

Yes that's no problem, just skip Baden Baden and drive a bit further east.
You could stay in Stuttgart. From Stuttgart to Dornbirn is not that far. Dornbirn has a great Rolls Royce Museum that's worth the visit too.

Marek, on the way from Copenhagen to Le Mans you will pass my hometown Oldenburg in Germany. Feel free to pop in for a coffee or two ... maybe I can manage to join you and take my longhood to the promised land Le Mans :D

Surfing on the forum again after some time off and find this one. Brings back warm memories of the excellently organized trip in 2017!
I want to join day 1 and 2. Uli, any chance to do the Stelvio on day 2? This has been my dream for some time. I'll take the 993S or maybe the police car if I got my engine refurbished in time.

Hi Jaques, I’ll look into that, but it would be an easy task on your way back north to do stelvio.
I am already looking forward to do the trip.
Cheers Uli

Just booked room in Dornbirn 17-18/9. I will join the tour on 17th and 18th, then drive back to NL on the 19th.
I will drive from NL on Wednesday 16th, probably staying somewhere along the 81 or 5. Anybody from Benelux, Nordic, Northern Germany, UK doing the same?

Hi Jaques from south of Stuttgart to Dornbirn we can drive together. But I will be driving country roads not autobahn.
Ralf (calover) comes from Saarlouis and Massimo is on the way too.
Cheers Uli

I might be driving to-from Prague, dunno yet ...

Will try and see if I can make it also. Should light a fire beneath my ass to get #303366 done

All,
I looks like I have a problem. I MUST be back in The Netherlands on the 18th 18:00..........which really leaves too little time to join your company.
Can we move this one week earlier or later maybe?
Cheers, Jacques

Hi Jaques, I am not sure if we will be able to go to Austria or Italy at all.
If Goodwood will not happen I am free from constraints timewise.
Let‘s wait a couple of weeks to see what happens.

Txs Ulli.
I would assume that by the time there are no events still, but by that we will be able to cross borders. For the time being I am optimistic and reckon worst case would be that we can only speak to each other with our windows closed, sleep in our own tent and that we take breaks in supermarkets. Sounds pretty secure, although while driving, will be tough keeping 1.5m distance between the cars ;-)
Like many of us I missed the third Europe meet and keep up hope for this one....

Hey Uli,
may the delicate plant named "Hope" grow and prosper!
It is currently going in the right direction.
You have worked out a very nice tour. I would very much like to participate. The date 17th - 20th September also fits me well.
I look around for the accommodations.

Gents, any chance to do this 1 week earlier, would allow me to join ;-)

Hi Jaques,
if it won't be cancelled I will be in Goodwood the weekend before.
But I will drive all tours before the event anyway - probably in August and it would be nice not to do this on my own - I'll just have to have my car ready for the street and TÜV Approved. Currently the gearbox is out again-new bearings for it.
The date is selected that all surrounding countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy) have no School Holidays at that time making less traffic on the road.
I've also heard that some of the roads are not open to touristic traffic - so I'll dig into this a bit further before heading for the test drive.

Just make a proposal for a date in August and I'm in

Depending on the development of this Covid-19 mess I should be driving with my Carrera 3.0 from Prague to the italian adriatic coast in July or August via Austria or Slovenia ... I drive the same route back with a 964 Turbo 3.6 end of August, latest. Keep you informed, if somebody would like to joing for some segments ...

I would love to join. Since I have three small kids, chances are my wife won't be happy if I'm away for a whole week but a couple of days should definitely be possible! I'd love to take country roads as much as possible as soon as I'm out of the Netherlands, driving through the Eiffel and Black Forest to the meeting point in Austria. September would probably be best since there are no school holidays and the weather is still nice.

Now I have also booked the accommodations in Dornbirn (for the night from September 17th to 18th) and in Merano (from September 18th to 20th).
Looking forward to September and hope that the pandemic will leave us alone and that the weather will be good!

august looks possible for me. hope we can use weekend days mostly, fits better in the working scheme:p
what about Aug 28-30?

I just got news that Goodwood Revival 2020 is not happening.
This leaves some room for more.
If anybody would be interested I might add 2-3 days in the black forest and the trip to Dornbirn before the event.
Same conditions: No fee, no (printed) roadbook - just Scenic App. Everybody books/pays his own stuff (accomodation etc).
I'll just provide some tours and locations for lunch/dinner.
If there is enough response we could have 14th Sept. evening Meeting in Freudenstadt area
15th September drive through black Forest starting / ending in Freudenstadt Area
16th September drive from Freudenstadt to Allgäu / or even already Austria Dornbirn
17th - 21st as scheduled

In the meantime, I will be at the Porsche Automuseum in Gmünd on Sunday 26 July. I have opened a dedicated post, for those who would like to meet there.

Same here, have some other potentially conflicting obligations will know more soon

One problem is can we Americans travel there?

I brought back a 1959 Carrera cabriolet and a 928 I had in Germany. I’ll see if I can get access to a 67 Targa.

But it probably doesn’t look great.

I'm in and will take my '72 Targa (1 person 1 car), as long as the virus doesn't interfere. Planning to leave the Netherlands Wednesday morning, arrive in Dornbirn Thursday 17th before 18:00. Then I have to leave from Merano on Sunday in the morning again. I'm really looking forward to some nice Alpine drives, but the drive through the Black Forest to Austria should be great as well!

I'm not sure what the current travel restrictions for Americans are and it would depend on your country of arrival -- but it doesn't look like it's going to get better. There's a real chance a "second wave" is coming with associated lockdowns. And returning to the US could result in a 14-day quarantine period.

Unfortunately I will not make it this year.

Have a great time guys and keep it safe!

I am also out as i have a trip to Ireland to attend. Have fun.

Did some reconnaissance today...

Hi Uli,
that stirs up the anticipation, thanks for that!:D
What kind of car are you traveling with?

With the daily - a wise decision had the car today with 3 wheels on the ground and one in the air on that Edge below. With the help of some locals and one tractor I was back on four rubbers after one hour. Had to back up a route that was a dead end apart from being too steep anyway.
Attachment 530914
Steep means sth like 30%+ here

Today’s tour was a handful- lots of traffic with RVs cyclists bikers etc. I shortened it a bit and took out some little loops - it will still be 6-7 hours of driving when we do the tour.

That would be great.
We're meeting at Dornbirn on thursday 17.th Sept morning. I'd like to start driving at approx. 9:45 hrs.
I haven't yet decided whether I'll drive from Home to Dornbirn on thursday morning or (probably) wednesday evening.
I spoke to Ralf (Calover) today. He'll stay on sunday 20th evening near us (72160 Horb Germany) - so there is a planned dinner for Sunday evening in Germany Landhaus Engel, Karlstraße 4, 72351 Geislingen

Oh, I thought we were meeting in Dornbirn on Thursday Sep 17 at the end of the day (I can't be there earlier). Just to confirm the hotel dates: one night in Dornbirn from Sep 17 to 18, then two nights in Merano from Sep 18 to 20 right?

Hi Frederik, yes hotel data is correct. You can join / leave the tour at any day. I thought that you just wanted to join the the three days Fri-Sun not the four thu-sun.
I am not yet made my descicion whether I'll stay in Dornbirn from Wednesday to thursday as Dornbirn is not that far from my place. I'll drive the thursday tour next weekend and see how much driving time it takes.
So if you'll join thursday evening it's fine
So the tours are
Thursday Dornbirn-Dornbirn
Friday Dornbirn Merano
Saturday Merano Merano
Sunday Merano Dornbirn

All good! Great that you live so close; for me it's two days driving to Dornbirn. :)

Hello Ulii and all,
I always wanted to do the Stevio and hope to combine this in this trip. On day 2 (Friday) coming from Switzerland on our entry into Italy, I would really like to take the turn left onto the SS38 to do the Stelvio. From there will drive to Merano to join you guys again.

Ulli, is that a feasible idea? You might have done the Stelvio, would this work?

Hi Jaques,
Stelvio is on current fridays tour (extra for you)
(more info sent by PM)
Cheers
Uli

Been driving 600km of country roads and alpine passes yesterday to get the last finishing touches.
Unfortunately there are some Roadworks so the thursday tour will be LONG, but rewarding.

Hi Uli,
that reads great. These are sure to be nice days.
The import into the "Kurviger" app also worked. Just trying it out now is not that easy.;)

Woeahh, yes I finally get to do the Stelvio.......and -what makes it 100x better- I will not be alone!!! Txs Uli!

Really looking forward to the trip. Seems I (we?) need to carry a COVID form when in Italy (modulo rientro da estero 17 luglio), just downloaded it. Anybody any experience with that?
I do not think there are any entry restrictions for any of the to be visited countries, correct?

Jacques, I think this document is outdated because it only allows the possibility to travel to Italy for work reasons. At the moment tourists are also allowed (luckily) but the document doesn't provide for that option. The ministry of foreign affairs in NL lists no travel restrictions for Italy and doesn't mention this document so I believe it doesn't apply anymore. Uli?

Cool pic from Yesterday

It was absolutely FANTASTIC. Unbelievable views, incredible roads, great pursuits uphill and downhill, cosy lunches, great group of people, top weather.

All brought together in 1 culminating climax weekend by Uli. Thanks for your leadership and enthusiasm Uli, for a beautiful E911s Eurogathering 2020, one to remember!

It was wonderful days, everything was wonderful (participants, route, hotels, stopovers, petrol talks ...).
There were also "special route sections":

But that was a good thing!:D
I don't know how I can spend the next few days in the office without constantly thinking about the pass drives with the “cornering” and the “flow”.
Thank you Uli for the brilliant planning, preparation and implementation!
Gladly again anytime...

Wow, great tour ... so sad I could not be there. Currently stuck in Prague due to Covid_19 ... all neighbouring countries requires quarantine for people coming out of the city, so teleworking until further notice ...

We had an absolutely amazing trip. Great people, stunning roads, and great cars of course. The fun factor for me was right up there with the best days of snowboarding or surfing that I've had.

I started on Wednesday morning from Amsterdam with the intention of taking two days to drive to Dornbirn so I could take mainly country roads through Luxembourg, the Vosges, and the Black Forest. However in Belgium, when I stopped for lunch, I saw oil fumes coming from the engine grill and the whole engine bay was splattered with oil. Oh-oh... After cleaning and revving the engine it was clear that the oil line to the left head and chain tensioner was leaking.

Luckily I was very close to the Spa-Francorchamps track where there's a Porsche specialist. We tracked down the part and the next day they drove to Liege to get it from Porsche and by 11:30, my car was fixed and I still made it to Dornbirn in time for dinner via the Autobahn. Big thanks to LLM Mecasport for helping me so quickly!

The next day we left via Switzerland and Liechtenstein and then the roads opened up. The Flüela Pass was fantastic ...

... the Umbrail Pass was even better, mainly because it was narrow and empty ...

... but the Stelvio was the highlight of the day. Andreas and I had great fun chasing each other and taking pictures and the views and the way the road is carved into the mountain is simply breathtaking.

When you get into the forest, the road gets faster and it with both our cars having MFI, it was an awesome experience to hear Andreas' 2.4 S screaming out of a corner and then hearing the same noise from my own engine. Finally we arrived in warm and lush Merano between the wine fields, a complete contrast with the barren mountain landscapes that we had seen earlier.

The next day we did a round trip in the Dolomites, a fantastic area with bizarre steep rock faces that tower above the mountains. And of course great and sometimes empty driving roads. There is no greater joy than running up a mountain pass full throttle with the MFI pump screaming behind your head like a roaring animal. It's clear that our cars were designed to do this: everything just starts to work together in harmony, the steering, suspension, engine and even the 915 gearbox feels just right.

Driving down the mountain in a line of Porsches is just too much fun -- so nice to see the classic lines of the 993s and of course Uli's hotrod BMW.

Finally on Sunday four of us drove back to Dornbirn and further to Germany; the others had to leave via separate routes. On a small mountain road, Uli and I had a chance encounter with a Taycan owner who stopped to take pictures of our cars. He turned out to own a 2.4 S as well, great guy.

Driving down to Austria.

Attachment 533472

The roads were beautiful this day, but often too busy for spirited driving unfortunately. Also my car started backfiring on part throttle which made driving less fun (this magically fixed itself the next day on the Autobahn). We finally arrived in the south of Germany around 20:00. The next day I started the day with two hours of driving on small empty roads through the Black Forest (thanks to Uli who designed the route) and then back home via the Autobahn. Although I prefer country roads, I discovered that it's actually quite fun to take an early 911 up to speed on the Autobahn. At 150-160 km/h it still feels very controlled and precise.

What an experience! Big thanks to Uli for organizing everything, to everyone for being such great company, and I can't wait to go again.

Very nice to hear the stories and see the pictures.

Hope to be a part of the tour next year.

Sorry to have missed it guys, very unfortunately family Covid related bereavement.

Hope to meet you both next year, and all the best to you and your family Dr Danger.

I just saved this picture. WOW. That is stunning. We have some great passes here in Colorado but I believe that tops them all.

It is a truly spectacular road to drive. Here's one more. PM me with your email for original resolution.
