Leonard Stolk is the 2011 Dutch Historic GT Touring Car Champion! Leonard sewed up the 2011 championship at the Nürburgring last weekend – he takes up the story:

We are just returning from the season finals of the Dutch GT /TC championships. Our final races were held at the legendary Nürburgring race track.

Arrangements are coming together nicely for the 2011 TwinSpark Racing track day at Spa Francorchamps on October 10th.

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.
