- Comments Off on Porsche RSRs: The Battle of Zolder
Here’s a terrific scrap between a pair of Porsche 911 RSRs during the recent Youngtimer Trophy at Zolder.
The cars are fighting for the lead. In front is the white Team Mittelmotor car of Charles Voggenreiter, chasing is the purple car of Dr. Edgar Althoff.
If you thought historic racing was a nice way to stretch the legs of a retired older 911, this video will put you straight. The drivers put their cars through hell: sliding, braking later than they dare, sliding, banging gears and almost but not quite banging door handles too.
The white car is leaking oil onto the exhaust, hence the smoke. You can see the effect it has on Althoff’s windscreen. Voggenreiter slides off the track and still manages to be [...]

- Comments Off on TwinSpark Track Day 2011 at Spa Francorchamps
Arrangements are coming together nicely for the 2011 TwinSpark Racing track day at Spa Francorchamps on October 10th.
Organised in association with Gold Track in the UK, we now have over 20 Porsche 911s booked on our day, with more joining all the time. Surprisingly, very few 911s from the Netherlands so far and, given that over 50% of the last TwinSpark track day was made up on European 911 drivers, this must indicate a lack of awareness.
Where are you, NL? Share the information in your networks and let’s get more cars on track! To book for this event, which costs £249 per driver for the day, simply email john@twinsparkracing.com and I will send you a code which you can use to book via Gold Track’s website.

- Comments Off on TwinSpark Racing: WEVO Porsche in Europe
This months’ 911 & Porsche World magazine is now on sale.
The issue features the carbon fibre-bodied WEVO 912 with the GT3 Cup engine. This car is extreme and the new gold standard in early Porsche hot rods. We call it PVX.
WEVO is a name to conjour with in Porsche circles. Hayden Burvill has set closed-course speed records with Norbert Singer and the Carrera GT, engineered the Brumos Porsche to race wins and helped to design multiple-race-winning Indy cars. Each project has been unique in its scope and purpose, yet each has featured a design overview that could only have come from Burvill.
TwinSpark Racing is the European distributor for Hayden’s Porsche parts. Not only do [...]
