Newsletter 16  IPOC GTG & Track Day @ WTCC
The WTCC (World Touring Car Championship) race in Puebla, Mexico, was the perfect opportunity for IPOC members to get together and do some track work before the main event.

For some reason there is a duel between M3 and 911 owners, to make things interesting and to settle this we decided only to enter 911's and the challenging M3's.

A fantastic day of races and friends, check out the action, next.
Eveyrthing started early in the morning at Ennio's VW Premium dealership...
...before heading to the track some cars need to gas up...
...and so we headed to the track...
