I’m currently researching track dates for a Spa gathering later this year. The plan is to run circa 25 classic Porsches from the TwinSpark Racing Club, R Gruppe Europe and the ImpactBumpers.com club, based in the UK.
Last year’s Spa event was an overwhelming success. Though the 2011 date will be slightly later, the costs will stay reasonable and the laughs should all be just as loud. How could they not be when we’ll be playing with Porsches on the best trace track in the world?!
I’m just getting prices together and will likely offer a trackday only or trackday plus accommodation package, payable through the TwinSpark Racing.com shop. It’s worth sending me your details so I can add them [...]

That’s the upside! The downside for us Europeans is that it’s on in North America. RennSport Renunion IV will be held at Laguna Seca on October 13th-15th this year, followed by the Porsche Race Car Classic on the 16th, at The Quail in Monterey. The press release says 14th to 16th: I’m currently treating it as “arrive in Monterey in the 13th”.
I know it’ll be expensive to get there, but we’ve already been doing our research on the best value for money accommodation in the area and booking it fast. Who knows what prices, exchange rates and flight costs will do later in the year? Flights are already silly money and [...]
