We’re racing this weekend at the TT Assen circuit, with HARC and the Historic GT Touring Car Championships. Two TwinSpark cars are on track: our Viper Green 3.0 RSR and the Light Yellow 2.8 RSR we call Woodstock.

Damaged in a minor off at Spa last month, Woodstock has now been repaired. The widebody Porsche 911 is running brand new slicks and a little something extra: the first set of Zuffenhaus RSR brakes to enter Europe.

They have also sent a very special 911: the SC rally car used by Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdörfer in the 1981 San Remo rally.

San Remo ’81 was a defining moment in the relationship between Röhrl and Porsche. With the 4wd Audis set to dominate, Walter and Christian kept them behind until a smashed SC driveshaft near the finish cost them the event.
