Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets Receive Private Tour Of Porsche Factory

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

 

When Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets visited London’s Royal Albert Hall as part of their 2022 The Echoes Tour, they were contacted straight after by Bernd Wuersching, a colleague of the Porsche museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

After playing even more dates on their critically acclaimed tour, they managed to find time in their busy schedule to pop in for a visit. This was an exciting visit for Bernd as, outside of music, Nick is also a car-collecting, motorsport-loving individual. A founding member of Pink Floyd, this king of the drums is almost as well-known for his incredible car collection as he is for his music career, but did you know he’s raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans no fewer than five times? His La Sarthe debut was in a car from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

As well as giving him a behind-the-scenes tour together with Alexander Klein, Manager of Porsche Car Collection, the guys at Porsche also showed Lee Harris, Guy Pratt, Garry Kemp, and Barrie Knight around the Taycan factory.
