Just had some pics through from Leonard and Daan, and a few words about the Carrera PanEuropeana they are on at the minute.
This RGruppe Europe event is a drive from the Netherlands down through Belgium and into Germany. The guys were staying close to the Nürburgring for two nights and today have headed back up towards Spa, for the end of the racing there, before coming home. Leonard speaks:
Weather is awesome, 11 cars good crowd. Jan de Boer (the so-called Bumpermeister) tapped the Armco in a hairpin, so bruised ego there, but car is still drivable. We will actually turn the piece of bumper he crashed off the left front into the rotating trophy! Everybody more cautious and keeping distance to predecessor [...]

I’m currently down in San Diego CA, working on some Porsche features with legendary car photographer, Jamie Lipman.
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 [...]

Another good day for Leonard in our Viper Green RSR: his second P3 finish of the weekend in the HARC Historic Racing at TT Assen Circuit.
Leonard describes the race as “no more tyres: a slippery game of chance in the high-speed corners.” I don’t have much else to report at the minute but will fill you in soon.
He’s sent me some interesting pics from the pre-race paddock and also two from the finish. That black and gold Escort looks like a useful tool.
I love this one on the car transporter, though I’m sure I won’t like the bill when it comes up at the next shareholders meeting. Boys and their (very big) toys!
Enjoy the pictures. We’ll post a debrief soon on how the cars went and, more importantly, how our TwinSpark Zuffenhaus Porsche 911 RSR brakes held up. Maybe [...]
