Leonard Stolk, MD of Dutch classic Porsche specialist, Twinspark Racing, announces a major distribution deal for lightweight Porsche parts and classic racing equipment, made in Britain by Yorkshire-based EB Motorsport.

The 2011 Dutch Historic GT champions, TwinSpark Racing, and twice World Sportscar Master champions, EB Motorsport, forged their agreement while both MDs were still in racing overalls, following the 2012 Masters round at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

Mark Bates, EB Motorsport:

We have some great news for owners of earlier 911s through the Carrera 3.2: We now have the Zuffenhaus RSR brakes in stock to bolt onto your original chassis! It allows you to take advantage of the supreme stopping power of these race proven brakes.

The occasion was the launch of a gorgeous new Dutch/English collectors trilogy about the lives and careers of Carel Godin de Beaufort, Ben Pon and TwinSpark friend Gijs van Lennep. Pon-Porsche Import had sponsored the publication of this work, written by three Dutch motoring journalists.

The three men honored in these books have stimulated the imagination of several generations of boys and men, with their skill and daring behind the wheel of, mostly, Porsche race and rally cars.

The event was presented by Carlo Brantsen of Carros magazine and presenter of a popular car show on national radio. Ray [...]
