Flat 6 Asheville Adventure: The Pinnacle of Porsche Passion
June 4–7, 2026 | Asheville, North Carolina
The mountains are calling, and they speak in the key of Flat 6.
Flat 6 Adventures invites you to an exclusive, limited-capacity Porsche rally weekend based in the vibrant heart of Downtown Asheville. This isn’t just a getaway; it’s a three-day immersion into the spirit of the drive. We’ve curated a weekend where the connection between driver, machine, and the Blue Ridge peaks becomes something legendary.
Step away from the ordinary. Bring your old friends, leave with new ones, and savor every gear change of this signature Flat 6 experience.
🏎️ THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE:
We don’t just drive; we "carve." Every route has been scouted and stress-tested to ensure your Porsche performs exactly as it was engineered to. We handle all the logistics—timing, fuel breaks, and lunch spots—so you can focus entirely on the apex.
The Route Highlights:
• The Rattler: Challenge yourself on 290 legendary curves over 24 miles. It’s technical, tight, and rewarding.
• Devil’s Drop: A dramatic descent that will test your brakes and your nerves in equal measure.
• The Blue Ridge Parkway: "America’s Favorite Drive" provides the sweeping, high-altitude vistas and long-range cruising that make Western NC famous.
Hidden Backroads: Dozens of miles of "secret" technical mountain passes known only to the locals.
🏨 BASECAMP: The Renaissance Asheville Downtown
We’ve secured the perfect "Home Base" for the weekend. The Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel offers 4-star luxury within walking distance of the city’s best breweries and galleries.
• Porsche-Only Parking: Rest easy with reserved, private-access parking dedicated exclusively to our rally fleet.
• Modern Luxury: After a day in the cockpit, relax in premium accommodations designed for the discerning traveler.
• Walkable Asheville: You’re steps away from the world-class dining and culture that makes Asheville a top-tier destination.
A special room rate of approximately $190/night has been procured and details for making reservations will be provided upon registration. Participants are responsible to reserve and pay for hotel themselves
