Member Photos: Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix 2008

The Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix weekend was just as warm as it was fun! RSP members met at the Porscheplatz, manned by area Porsche club volunteers. After admiring Porsches of various models and vintages, the day's activities proceeded without a hitch.

Porscheplatz activities, coordinated by Zone 4 Representative Roy Wilkinson, included visits by a Michelin tire expert and the Porsche AG team, among others. Members even enjoyed a field trip to the Dyson Team's trailers at the GP Paddock and a visit with K-Pax Team's Randy Pobst and Michael Galatti.

For a wrap-up of each of the weekend events, visit the ALMS page, IndyCar page, and SCCA Speed World Challenge page.
