Our SSR3 is held at Collie Motorplex in April and it is always a weekend that is not only asphalt and adrenalin-charged, but also a great social component to it. Not just if you're racing!
Partners of members who are in the sporting series, along with members who wish to come along as spectators and join in on the camaraderie - you are most welcome to do so!
PCWA is running this event and we have invited the HSV Club and the Triumph Sports Owners Club to attend to ensure there are enough starters so that the event has full attendance. As of 10 April there are four competitor slots left.
SOCIAL, ACCOMMODATION & REGISTRATION
Accommodation: Call the Collie Ridge Motel directly - 9734 6666 to reserve a room & mention PCWA when you book (10% discount for members).
Catering: The weekend includes the following events:
- Friday Night Social BBQ (free for PCWA members)

Please make sure you register your attendance and add TOTAL number of attendees (including yourself) for the above events when you register (space is included on the PCWA rego form).
Registration Note: Please remember to register yourself and any guests coming with you. For example: If you have 4 people on your family membership but only you are racing and 1 guest is coming , then you register yourself plus 1 guest etc. However each person racing will also need to register separately and pay the $150 individually via the cams website (links below).
All cars will need a Dorian which can be hired for $20 at the track.
Please email Grace Tan - Social Director at social@porscheclubwa.org.au if you have any questions regarding catering or accommodation.
