Porsche Golf Circle: Trip back home

Porsche’s heart beats in Zuffenhausen. It was therefore clear to the organisers of the #porschegolfcircle that it would be nice if its members could meet up for one of the events in the Community’s second year at the place where the #porsche sports car legend was founded. The participants at the four-day #event were welcomed by Sandra Siegloch, Manager #porsche Community Management, and Eberhard Schneider, Manager Global Events & Services, who were pleased to play host to customers from eight nations, from as far off as Mexico, Australia and Japan and from Italy and Germany.

Internationality is one of the features of the #porschegolfcircle. At three to four annual international events and the app-based Community, people with the same interests can communicate both personally and digitally. Members have congregated to watch top class #golf at professional events like the Ryder Cup or the #porsche European Open and have themselves played Community tournaments, including one in Tenerife. Later this year, they will travel to Singapore to once again experience the #porschegolfcircle and therefore the #porsche legend beyond the 18^thgreen.

Exclusive insights behind the scenes

In Zuffenhausen, the legend really was at arm’s length. The group was able to visit the Zuffenhausen plant right away on the first day. In the evening, the #porsche brand experience was amplified once again during an exclusive guided tour around the #porsche Museum outside official opening times. Frank Jung, the manager of the historical archive, opened the doors to the workshop. When walking around the museum, which was opened ten years ago, the Community listened to amusing anecdotes from the history of the sports car manufacturer. Special highlights were the super sports cars in the form of two #porsche 959s as well as a variety of vehicles belonging to the 917 Le Mans legend which this year celebrated its 50^th birthday. The day was brought to a close by the Community in the Restaurant Christophorus with a view of the famous sculpture on Porscheplatz.
