We were delighted to receive an order from new UK Porsche builder David Fitzgerald this week.

David has taken over the ashes of the former Sean Lockyear Porsche business in Yorkshire, and is working on some classic 911 race and rally builds for customers. The new cars will feature a range of parts from TwinSpark Racing, including WEVO Porsche transmission parts.

Well-known English engine builder Mike Bainbridge is also connected to the enterprise.

It’s all good business, and great to see new life in the Porsche world despite the media doom and gloom.

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 [...]
