From Porsche museum, cars are changed regularly in this large room.


A 911 first model, as it is.

At the ground floor, there is a small room equipped with a small bar and comfortable chairs where the costumer receive his Porsche which is unveiled in front of him, before testing it. I don't know if fruit juice only is served.

The room was too crowdy for a picture, but here is the next room :

VERY GOOD JOB PASCAL!!!!!

Impressive! Maybe I'll go to visit tomorrow. Today, I arrived late atthe circuit and it was closed. For the public, because in the afternoon it was only opened for the Porsche dealers.

Superb set of pictures Pascal - looks like they've built a really impressive place - thanks for sharing.

Did you ask them why, in the middle of France, is it a Porsche Experience CENTER?

Maybe in order to have exactly the same name everywhere ?

The one at Silverstone is spelled the correct way. I just found it strange.

A last picture about signatures. Timo Bernhard, Hurley Haywood and Mark Webber were missing above.

Simon, we can see this PEC through different prisms.
- A great and well organised free guided visit for people from Le Mans or ACO members carrying an old camera like mine and making the most of it to share on a forum.
- A mix between a common affairs building with meeting rooms, offices, black and white corridors and a simple Porsche dealership.

Jealous ? Yes and no.

[PascaLM]

Some informations :
the circuit of Maison-Blanche still belongs to ACO. A partnership allows around 100 days a year for the PEC.
The restaurant is not public yet ; a chef from Le Mans prepares the meals. The restaurant could become public later.

Many others pictures from Endurance-Info here.

Zentrum should end the debate but could also sound a bit invasive again...
BTW, there may be some free visit at the PEC of Silverstone.

Thanks for posting PascaLM! I wonder if they will allow Porsche club France use the facility for their track days?
