Online Booking System Developed for Porsche Club Motorsport

As 2018 drew to a close one of our major projects was launched by our client Porsche Club Motorsport, an online trackday booking module.

We worked with them over the year to understand how they worked and to see what could be done to streamline their processes and improve productivity.

It was wasnt long before we could see how the benefits of an online booking system for the 21 trackdays could make significant improvements for the office as well as for the participants. We worked with the office staff and their IT team, and involved the circuits as we developed a bespoke system that would streamline the way the whole process was carried out, from taking the booking, filling out indemnity forms, taking special requirements and finally payment. Once this process was completed all the paperwork was generated and emailed to the participant ready for their trackday.

In mid December Porsche Club Motorsport launched the new system with a significant increase in bookings over the old “analogue” system.

All things Porsche gathered at the Kent race circuit for a day of celebrations with star drivers and historic race cars alongside current championship contenders and the record breaking Porsche 919 Tribute with Nick Tandy at the wheel.

Hill Climb Cars Showcased at Carfest South

Top hill climb cars attended Carfest South this year, supporting BBC Children In Need, whilst also promoting the sporting discipline of hill climbing.

Six time British Champion Scott Moran, who attended North, was also in action at South in his Gould, with Simon Fidoe in the Empire.

Both events couldn’t have been more different, Bolesworth Castle (North) was bathed in 30 degree sunshine, whilst the newly redesigned track at Laverstoke Park (South) designed by Jody Scheckter and Ross Brawn, was wet and quite a few degrees cooler.

Both cars got some good runs in on Friday and Saturday but Sunday the running of the cars was curtailed due to the torrential downpours.

MotorvationPR was delighted to help Carfest and BBC Children In Need in sourcing and providing these cars for this wonderful event.
