It’s a common misconception that the range of WEVO Porsche Parts are built for racing cars. The truth is, they’re suitable for all Porsches, whether road, race or rally.

The original Porsche designers were working to a draft of simplicity, for both weight and cost. Though Porsche are a prestige manufacturer, they have always manufactured in volume, so anything saved on the cost of one part is multiplied by many thousands at the end of the financial year.

This is how budgetary constraints lead manufacturers to hold back on component optimisation, as time or money spent on fine tuning all adds to cost. When non-optimum components are fitted in production, a properly designed aftermarket part, particularly something that plays an integral part in the driving experience can often enhance the driving and ownership experience many times over, the reward far exceeding the actual purchase cost.

Yesterday was our first toe-in-the-water taster of a track day organised with Twin Spark involvement for early and aircooled 911s.

21 classic Porsche cars from the UK joined 6 of us from the Netherlands to attend an open pit lane day at Spa Francorchamps, overseen by RSR Nurburg. After a dry but overcast start, the sun broke through the clouds, giving us beautifully warm weather in which to enjoy one of the greatest tracks in Europe. In short – it was FANTASTIC.

We attended the day in Woodstock: our 911 RSR 3.0, liveried especially for the event. The yellow 911 was wearing its usual Michelin TB5 rubber and running with enriched fuel pump settings, while we wait for our next-stage experimental MFI pump cam to be installed.

Following an interesting briefing and track walk with RSR’s Ron Simons, we were delighted to pass the 107 dB noise test and [...]

Just wanted to share with you the new look of Woodstock. We have taken our logos and had a front hood sticker made to promote TwinSpark Racing. In the Dutch GTTC championship we are allowed to run with “fitting” sponsor decoration, so we designed a period-style striping. Hope you like it. We’ll be running Woodstock on Monday at Spa in this new outfit.
