- 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!

- Comments Off on TwinSpark Racing Chinese Christmas Party
We’re having a Christmas party at our base in Oestgeest at the end of November. All Porsche friends from Netherlands and surrounding areas are invited to attend.
The date to put in the diary is Saturday, November 26th. Leonard, Lex and I will be on site all day, with coffee and cake in the morning, and chinese food in the evening. The aim of the day will be to welcome as many of our friends as possible, to share memories of a great year for the TwinSpark partners, with winning the Dutch championship and also finally seeing our pet RSR brake project come to fruition. We’ve recently negotiated a new lower price for the RSR brakes: see the TwinSpark Racing Porsche shop for more details.
Leonard has already put an invitation email together for the Dutch R Gruppe contingent, but if you have not received [...]
