I posted a while back on plans for a TwinSpark track day at Spa Francorchamps later this year. Those plans have now been finalised, and I’m happy to share them with you.

I’m typing this from a friend’s house. As I sit here in the den, looking out over the mountains and the border with Mexico just a few miles away, I’m reflecting on my notes for the feature we shot this evening. This is the Porsche 911 RSR of our amigo, Mike Gagen.
Mike has owned the car for over ten years. It’s been through a few iterations. Currently the car runs a 3.6 motor, highly trick with a flowed case and heads, Carrillo rods, modified cams and so on. The body features lots of fibreglass, including some mucho sexy bolt-on rear [...]
