Lonely Porsche only works if there are events to attend! If you know of any, we’d love for you to share them so everyone in the community can join in.

All we need to add your event is a short bio, dates and location and a logo of your club. If you have a link to your original advert then add that also.

We do reserve the right to withhold events that don’t reflect the spirit and values of our Porsche community—otherwise, everything is welcome!

Porsches need driving, and drivers need friends to drive with.

Lonely Porsche was created to help everyone discover events to enjoy with their Porsche.

It’s completely free—a gift from me to you—because I’ve often been disappointed when I missed out on great events.

And yes, so has my Porsche.

Drive-It Day

NEW for 2026, all owners of pre-2005 classic vehicles are invited to take part in Drive-It Day at Beaulieu on Sunday 26 April 2026.

National Drive-It Day was launched in 2005 by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs to celebrate motoring heritage. It marks the One Thousand Mile Trial, which took place in 1900 to demonstrate the potential of the newly invented motor vehicle! The event also raises funds for children’s charity NSPCC and a portion of each participant ticket will go to the charity. Visit the Drive-It Day website to purchase your fundraising plate, with proceeds donated to the NSPCC, and to access the JustGiving link for donations.

Owners of pre-2005 vehicles (inclusive of 2005) of any make and model are invited to join the celebration at Beaulieu and show their support for keeping motoring heritage alive on UK roads, whilst also supporting NSPCC and their work.

All participants have the opportunity to be chosen as the winner of the Best in Show Award, selected by public vote. Prizes are awarded to the winner and runners-up.
