Martin first experienced Porsche in Australia, his home country, around 25 years ago at the age of 16, in a 964 C2 as a passenger ride on curvaceous country roads. He later spent a full day at the importers track day in 1990, testing 968, 928 and the then innovative C2 with tiptronic. Martin heads the Motorsport Department and has been actively involved with all events and the committee since 2000, when he owned a 986 Boxster. Martin recently added a new 997 GT3 to his collection, proudly sitting next to his previous car, a Mark 1 996 GT3. He is looking forward to the 2008/09 Porsche Club UAE season, the 2009 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix and the growing impetus for trackdays and motorsport. |
