- Comments Off on Defending the State of Art Grand Prix Lead
Had an answerphone message from Leonard on Friday. He was very excited about the upcoming State of Art Grand Prix Classic at Zandvoort, and our continued assault on the Techno Challenge for Historic GT and Touring Cars.
Leonard was leading the championship, so this was an important weekend. “We need to keep within a sniff of the podium, and there are a couple of cars that we’ll have to try to keep behind us if we want to retain first position. This weekend will be the first time I have raced with the Hulk on slicks, so how much faster will it make it?”
Good questions, and when the flag dropped for Race 1 on Saturday, our man had similarly good answers. In the end of race 1, he finished 4th, with a top speed just 2mph behind [...]

- Comments Off on TwinSpark Racing Porsche 911 RSR Brake Pictures
I’ve been working on the promo campaign for the TwinSpark RSR brakes from Zuffenhaus in the USA.
If you’ve not been following the brake story, Zuffenhaus set out to make proper high-end cast reproductions of the legendary RSR brakes from the early 1970s, using traditional methods of production, with modern internals from the 911 Turbo parts catalogue. They didn’t just succeed in their task, they went beyond all expectations. Brake testing has shown exceptional stopping power and our first full race with the brakes fitted brought us a win. Enough said!

- Comments Off on Porsche Pictures from TwinSpark Racing RSR Brake Victory
We’ve just had more pictures through from the weekend’s racing at Zandvoort, where TwinSpark Racing took a very groovy 1-2 victory in the Porsche 911 RSRs.
The winning RSR of TwinSpark partner Lex Proper (below) was running our new-to-market Zuffenhaus RSR brakes, now available in the TwinSpark Racing shop.
Confidence in the brakes is a key part of any racer’s armoury. Lex reports the brakes as exceptionally fade resistant, with impressive bite and great feedback. Running late on brakes and deep into the corners allows for some exciting passing manoeuvres when competition is tough, so the TwinSpark team are very optimistic for a thrilling rest of this season.
