- Comments Off on Staying Power gives EB Porsche a Brands Hatch edge
Our friends at EB Motorsport had a good weekend at this year’s Brand Hatch Historic Festival, part of the 2013 FIA Masters Historic series. Masters Series events enjoyed full grids all weekend, with plenty of cars on track doing battle: just what the spectators wanted!
EB’s terrific Guards Red Porsche 911 3.0 RS suffered a few irritating glitches, which ruled it out of two events, but the Light Yellow 911 RSR went well all weekend. The 3.0-litre Porsche 911 RSR couldn’t quite match the pace of the bigger-engined cars on the straights of the Brands Hatch GP circuit.

- Comments Off on Video Impression of Zandvoort Historic Grand Prix 2012
Team TwinSpark participated in a non-championship 1 hour race during the Open Exhaust Historic Grand Prix at Zandvoort on September 1 and 2. Lex proper and I shared the wheel during this race amongst 60’s and 70’s Sports Car prototypes and what an experience that was! Zandvoort has only 7 days a year during which there is no noise restriction. We could therefore drive The Hulk on megaphones for the very first time and experienced what an RSR sounded like in the day. I drove qualifying with ear plugs in, but decided that this was a waste of aural pleasure and raced without them!
As a coincidence my niece Emilia Mendieta, a Vassar cinematography graduate and producer, who lives in new York, was present that weekend and we asked here to make a video impression of the event, using both round-the-track video [...]
