Last weekend was the 2011 Oldtimer GP at the Nürburgring. Billed by the organisers as the biggest classic car event in Europe, 2011 again attracted numerous automotive jewels to northern Germany. TwinSpark Racing’s Leonard Stolk took son Daan and our ST rally car, Silverado, down to the circuit for a day trip and to catch up with the on-track happenings.

Time for another Bergmeister retrospective! I love looking back at the pictures from this event, which saw TwinSpark Racing sponsor a mega road trip for ten classic Porsche 911s from the European R Gruppe tribe. We have so far driven from Amsterdam to Geneva to Briancon to Monaco: now we start day 4.
Having arrived in Monte Carlo the previous evening, day 4 saw us all set to enter the heart of the 2010 Bergmeister Tour: to drive classic Monte Carlo rally stages, following the genius RallyAtlas sat nav application (sadly now defunct).
Following a quick breakfast and some photos at the Cafe de Paris by day – in the famous Monaco Casino Square – we headed out of town. Our destination was Turini, [...]
