- Porsche's Sports Car Together Fest is expected to be the world's largest gathering of GT-badged Porsche cars.

- The car show highlights high-performance and classic Porsches, and features events on and off track.
Porsche-centric events like the wildly popular Luftgekuhlt have caught even Porsche’s attention. The answer: well, host a show of its own. The Porsche Sports Car Together Fest hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2021 and is set to return this year.
While most car shows are dedicated to appreciating the vehicles statically, this Porsche-backed event takes over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course for three days over Labor Day Weekend.
Who is invited? Anyone who can snag a ticket. Though, Porsche is targeting its high-performance GT-badged cars and expects this will be the world's single largest gathering of these Porsche variants.
For attendees, there will be plenty of action both on and off the track, and some of the racing will move online. The Esports Championship is exactly what it sounds like: racing digital Porsches at a Porsche event. This obviously one-make challenge should give folks a lower barrier to entry in Porsche competition—mostly because they won’t need to supply a car.
Also, Porsche is effectively building its own concours with the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, which pits Porsche dealers against each other in the task of showing the nicest restored Porsche.
It’s interesting to see automakers jump onto the experiential side of cars, though this isn’t Porsche’s parent company’s first venture into enthusiast events. Volkswagen in Wolfsburg hosted the massive Coming Home festival in 2018 that embraced generations of the Volkswagen Golf.
There’s no word on how much tickets will cost for the Porsche Sports Car Together Fest, but tickets started at about $40 last year, and that’s probably close to the number for this event.
