The Porsche Festival 2021 was a success. At the opening of the gates a continuous flow of Porsche sports car they descended quickly filling the dedicated parking lot. In the two days they reached the Franciacorta plant well 8,000 admissions.

The journalist gave the voice to the Festival for the whole weekend Federica Masolin and the former racing driver Matteo Bobbi who have ventured to try all the activities on the track and in the paddock.
On the track with the Porsche Carrera
On Saturday I had the opportunity to try one of the Experience on the track with the 911 Carrera S. Drive between the curbs of the track Franciacorta after 2 years it was really exciting and sitting in a Porsche made the return even more grandiose.
The 30 ″ track test was a wonderful opportunity not only to test the car, but also to get involved and improve your driving skills thanks to the precious advice of the Porsche professional instructors.
Porsche Festival 2021 parade on the Franciacorta track
To round off the two days of celebration, the inevitable parade official with all cars Porsche took to the track on the Franciacorta track that scored record numbers: 1,152 cars (600 on Saturday and 552 on Sunday).
I never thought I’d participate in such a show. Seeing so many Porsche cars tread the track together was a unique emotion.
All you had to do was turn your head to see that everyone had a 32-tooth smile on their faces as we circled the track side by side, waving Porsche-branded flags out the window.
At the end of the parade we all lined up for the usual photo which was perhaps the funniest moment: all out of the car with the flags, all inside the car with the doors closed, it was impossible not to look at each other. other and hold back the laughter.
Because in the end, the Porsche Festival is not only luxury and exclusivity, but it is also above all a moment of great joy and fun to share with all fans of the brand.
