Organiser's Contact Data

TwinSpark friend and GT3 enthusiast Ivo van Riet has organized a Porsche only track day on June 23 2012 at the venerable racing venue of Zandvoort. Registration fees are Euro 450 per car for the day. It’s a two class event, where we expect to see a gaggle of 911’s from all generations between race-experienced rivers and Club drivers. Although the sound constraints seem severe, they are on a drive by basis in only one spot of the track, coming out of the corner into the straightaway. A rapid short shift to the next gear will keep you out of trouble!

Ivo has offered a free pit box to groups which bring 4-5 cars to the event, an offer worth Euro 150 a day. We like the date, as it is on a Saturday, normally a feature which comes at a premium. Grab this outstanding opportunity to discover the undulations and technical corners of this track which has been a bellwether in European racing.

There is a reason that even modern day classes such as GT4 and DTM frequent TwinSpark’s home track. There are many racing lines to be discovered, all dependent on the type of Porsche you drive and the grip you bolt under your race-car-for-the-road.

Ivo’s background is in film production, but I got to know him as a client services representative and the in-house track-expert at the Amsterdam Porsche Center. He owns a splendid GT3 Mk2 in the same black/black version as my Mk1, which created a bond right away. As I picked up my road tires at the dealership after having fit Pilot Sport Cup tires, I caught Ivo spannering away on his GT3 a few Saturdays ago.He has just decided to put in a full factory roll cage and racing seat to step up his racing efforts in the All Dutch Porsche Racing Class.

TwinSpark Racing intend to join for the event and would love to have a few Historic 911 enthusiasts join us in the free pit box, so if you’re interested, please fill out a comment or write to info@twinsparkracing.com to join our group. Let’s show those modern 911s they have very little on their well driven older brothers!
