After a night of pizza by the lake and without a doubt the warmest night of the whole trip, it was off to Monaco via the highway up to Limone Piemonte. This leg was merely built in to get us to Monaco, so outside of some maverick gathering at highway intersections, it only got exciting once we reached the Col de Tende. This pass has been in use for thousands of years and even the tunnel was already built in 1882. It runs about 3,2 km and allows only one direction of traffic. So as we arrived we had to park for 15 minutes in line before the light would go green.

Sweet Memories

Lex and I are organising  the many, many parts gathered over many, many years. It’s a Herculean task, particularly on Lex’ part, because he’s been the crow all these years, as it turns out!  Organising the parts is one thing, but cataloguing them falls mostly in my lap.

Congratulations to Twinspark Racing customer, BMA/Bernard Munster Autosport, for their victory on the 2012 Rallye du Maroc Historique. This gruelling rally is a direct descendant of the famously tough Morocco International: a long-time car killer that drew entries from around the world, thanks to the epicness running through its veins.

Twinspark’s association with BMA goes back to our earliest days. The team is one of our approved garagiste dealers, and benefits from trade discounts on all of our parts. One interesting Twinspark-supplied product run on the BMA Porsche 911 rally cars for this event is the Porsche 911 gearbox/transmission cooling system. Developed by WEVO on the desert racetracks and endurance circuits of North America, this product has been tried and tested across harsh terrain and, like all of our parts, in our own cars also.
