- Comments Off on EB Motorsport Porsche parts on half Safari Rally Entries
Heard an interesting factoid from Mark at EB Motorsport last night. Catching up after the team’s weekend of FIA racing at Zandvoort, it seems almost half of this year’s Safari Rally entries could be running EB Motorsport parts.
“We’ve got parts on all of the Tuthill Porsche cars, four cars built by Bernard Munster for Safari and a few more. These guys know how strong and light our composite panels are, so they’ve stopped going elsewhere. We’re delighted with progress, given our relative newcomer status in the Porsche world. Our Porsche MFI parts range is also increasing, so good interest there from European and Australian customers.’
EB Motorsport’s latest product for the classic Porsche 911 is an MFI Fuel Pump Support Arm Kit. Retailing at £380, it includes a beautifully anodised oil take-off block, through bolt, copper washers and perfectly [...]

- Comments Off on R Gruppe Porsche Air-Cooled Club at Solitude Revival
The R Gruppe continues to penetrate air-cooled Porschelore. Member Thorsten in Germany recently wangled a place in the Porsche Legends charge up the Solitude Hillclimb at last month’s Revival meet. Thorsten tells the story:
“I got in the group through my little tricked-out, good looking, good sounding car (as others call it) and my membership in FLB: Freunde Luftgekuehlter Boxermotoren (Friends of Aircooled Boxer Motors). It’s the internal Club for Porsche workers.
“The field was fast and it was pretty crazy, but I had a blast! Following a 356 Carrera, and Kurt Ahrens in the Dreikantschaber, or Herbert Linge in a ’67 911, being passed by a 910 and then a 904 while watching Marc Lieb in the 718 F2 in my rear view mirror getting closer was awesome! What a great weekend!”

- Comments Off on Race on August 11 at Zandvoort Oldtimer Festival
Next weekend promises to be an outstanding race weekend, packed with action and plenty of great cars to watch at Zandvoort. Nationaal Oldtimer Festival 2013 is an initiative of 402 Events and the races are organized under the auspices of the Historic Car Racing Club (HARC).
The on-track program includes circuit access to oldtimer owners in between Qualifying and 3 races for two race classes each: Dutch Historic GT and Touring Car Championship 66-81 by Dantuma and Youngtimer Touring Car Trophy. So there will be constant action to watch.
TwinSpark is within a fraction of a point from the lead in the GT&TC Championship, although the size of our class may limit the number of points we can gather for the Championship. So we’ll go for line honors and hope that more 3.0 RSR’s will join the battle next week.
If you are interested in attending this enthusiasts’ [...]
