1,208 Porsche 911s invade Silverstone

Porsche continues to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 in style by creating a new world record for hosting the largest parade of 911s recently.

The unique event took place on July 29 at Silverstone when more than 1,200 (1,208 to be precise!) 911s participated in a parade organized by Porsche Club Great Britain in partnership with Porsche Cars Great Britain and Silverstone Classic.

The unique event was kicked off by Mark Porsche, who is the son of 911 designer Ferdinand Alexander ‘Butzi’ Porsche and the great-grandson of founder Ferdinand Porsche, who was quoted saying “It’s been a family member over all the generations of the 911 series and I’m very proud to be here today to represent the Porsche family at this great event.â€

He further stated that to have these 1,200 cars on track is the actual attention that the 911 deserves for its 50th birthday celebration. He was extremely thankful to the Porsche Club GB for making this event possible.

The best part of the event was that the event raised funds for the Hope for Tomorrow charity which brings mobile chemotherapy units to cancer patients so they can avoid stressful long distance travel and long waiting times.
