Club Ferdinand is not a fractional ownership program, such as those used for homes, jets and yachts, where members purchase ownership shares in a vehicle, but a fleet-sharing club, whose members benefit from the use of all the vehicles in the club’s fleet, as if their own personal fleet, based on a reservations and point system to assure fair-share usage for all members.

at The Mast Farm Touring Club
 

The Mast Farm Inn & The Mast Farm Touring Club, in Historic Valle Crucis, North Carolina, are pleased to announce the launch of Club Ferdinand.

Club Ferdinand is not a fractional ownership program, such as those used for homes, jets and yachts, where members purchase ownership shares in a vehicle, but a fleet-sharing club, whose members benefit from the use of all the vehicles in the club’s fleet, as if their own personal fleet, based on a reservations and point system to assure fair-share usage for all members. 

“Back in 1987 a group of 30 Swiss neighbors formed a co-operative to buy two cars, and car sharing was born. The concept has spread and mutated and now operates in 600 cities across the world with a 150,000 members and growing fast… when an idea's time has come, there seems no stopping it. Partial ownership (or car clubs) work best for people requiring a car only some of the time and is much more efficient financially than keeping one's own car…. With just a few members, a club can offer the convenience of a car when you really need it, with a reduced cost for the miles that you use when you take account of the purchase price, depreciation and insurance… then there's the added inconvenience and upkeep costs: paying to park it, getting it serviced and keeping it running in fine fettle… you only get 24 hours in a day no matter how wealthy you are. Nearly all car sharing clubs are also focused on reducing the group environmental impact… a more recent variant has seen luxury car sharing clubs appear such as Club Ascari, Exotic Carshare, Classic Car Club (and the American franchisee, Classic Car Club Manhattan), Luxshare Auto Club, and Club Sportiva. Ex-F1-Champ Damon Hill started his own P1 club and F1 newbie Scott Smart has a similar club.” Gizmag, May 24, 2006

The purpose of Club Ferdinand is therefore to enable club members with full-time, retirement, vacation, or second homes in the area, or regular visitors to the region, to use and drive a comprehensive stable of new Porsches representative of all the Porsche models currently in production. 

Among numerous benefits, The Club enables members to explore and discover the exceptional scenic driving wonderlands of the State of North Carolina, The Carolina Coast, The Blue Ridge Mountains, the beautiful natural mountain regions of Western North Carolina, and their adjacent states, in what can be considered the optimum sports-touring GTs in which to do so.
