We’ve just won our first race using the Zuffenhaus RSR brakes, now in stock and on sale through the TwinSpark Racing online store.

Driving our early 2.8 RSR on slick tyres, Lex Proper came home in front of Leonard Stolk to take a TwinSpark 1-2 finish in the GT/TC Historic Touring Car championship at Zandvoort.

Racing on our home circuit was fun. Though Leonard in the Hulk has the advantage of a 3.0 RSR engine on MFI, the genuine Porsche ’74 RSR calipers and the wider track of Hulk, Lex’s long-time race craft, the light yellow RSR and slick tyres gave an advantage that was played to full effect.

Winning with products we saw the potential of before they were ever built is a delight for [...]

Leonard has just put WEVO engine mounts into his 996 GT3 and is super impressed with the results.

“Mounts are finally in and what a difference it makes! The car feels like new, no wobbles in the back anymore and reduced vibrations, believe it or not!” says the TwinSpark frontman of his new equipment.

Factory engine mounts are a comfort-centric compromise that allow some engine and gearbox movement in spirited driving. This movement can lead to a lack of complete control, as the drivetrain shifts out of harmony with the chassis. It also places additional stress on the suspension, already working hard at controlling the car.

Minimising excess drivetrain motion is a Porsche Motorsport priority. The factory fits solid engine mounts to its race cars, to firmly connect the drivetrain and chassis, maximise suspension control and enhance accuracy for [...]

Another good day for Leonard in our Viper Green RSR: his second P3 finish of the weekend in the HARC Historic Racing at TT Assen Circuit.

Leonard describes the race as “no more tyres: a slippery game of chance in the high-speed corners.” I don’t have much else to report at the minute but will fill you in soon.

He’s sent me some interesting pics from the pre-race paddock and also two from the finish. That black and gold Escort looks like a useful tool.

I love this one on the car transporter, though I’m sure I won’t like the bill when it comes up at the next shareholders meeting. Boys and their (very big) toys!

Enjoy the pictures. We’ll post a debrief soon on how the cars went and, more importantly, how our TwinSpark Zuffenhaus Porsche 911 RSR brakes held up. Maybe [...]
