IN PICTURES The Porschists invade the Esplanade of Nîmes

For the second year in a row, Porsche brand vehicles have moved to Nîmes, to the delight of enthusiasts.

The German brand remains synonymous with the luxury sports car par excellence. Over the years, the Porche has retained its place in the pantheon of cars loved by motorsport lovers. So when a legend is exhibited on the Esplanade de Nîmes, success is guaranteed. For the second consecutive year, the Porschists met in the city of Antonins to discuss their common passion. Coupes, convertibles, targa, from classic to modern, from rear overhang flats to front engines, there was something for all tastes and all engine sizes.

A Saturday devoted to a tourist rally and a passage on the Lédenon circuit and on Sunday a static exhibition and a parade around the badge. “ Last year, the meeting was called Nîm’en Porsche, but the German brand wanted to keep control of its communication, so it asked us to change the name. The main goal is to share the same passion and try to raise funds for a good cause. We have 205 registered over the weekend and a little over 1,000 entries on Saturday alone. Some were very generous, because they paid more than the entrance ticket, which is two euros, it’s adorable. » explains Jean-Paul Gandolphe, the president of Nîm’en Flat which organizes the event. The profits from the event will be donated to the Passion & Partage association which works for disabled children.
