Driving Donington Park in a Porsche 911 GT3

In the video below are some of my laps driving a friend's Porsche 911 (991) GT3 on Donington Park's full GP circuit on 24th August 2021.

Caffeine & Machine Porsche Meet - 10th August 2021

An evening visit to Caffeine & Machine with my Porsche-driving friend for a local club meeting. The weather was good (although, it was well past 6pm when we arrived so light was beginning to fail), and there was a fine selection of German sportscars in attendance. 

No video this time, but there's a gallery of Porsches below, followed by a selection of the other vehicles there. As always, Caffeine & Machine didn't disappoint with an eclectic mix on site.

It houses almost 300 vehicles, from the earliest days of armoured vehicles right up to the present day, and is the largest collection of tanks in the world. It was a visit well worth making!

I had no plans on taking pictures or making a gallery but I knew I had too once I saw the breadth and quality of what's available (so you'll have to excuse my phone-quality pictures!). I collected info on each tank and have written a brief summary with each picture below.
