Newsletter 57 Acapulco Touring Drive - Porsche Club Puebla
The Porsche Club Puebla, after its fair share of Track Days, decided it was time to organize one of its classic Touring Drives, this time the chosen destination was sunny Acapulco.
What's ahead for the participants? 500 kms of grueling, twisty, fast roads where they could extract every ounce of performance out of their Porsches. Unfortunately for many Porsche owners in Central Mexico its impossible to enjoy their high performance vehicles in the daily grind, thus making the Touring Drives the perfect escape to drive and enjoy their beloved Porsches.
Impeccable organization as always by TrackDaysMexico and this time along with main sponsor Marena. Simply a tremendous event where Porsche owners got to enjoy their Porsches to the fullest... but enough talk and...
Let's check out the action...
Arriving to the meet point with time to spare the Puebla leg had a very early start and a tremendous drive from Puebla to Topilejo...

Porsche de Mexico provided our new local dealer Porsche Angelopolis with a new Cayenne for the drive... as it was the highest Porsche in the group we used it as sweeper vehicle...
...early morning days on our leader 997TT at speed... superb!!!
First stop was at traditional 4 Vientos where the TDM/Marena Team was ready to receive participants, organization was impeccable as we can see in the picture...
