Tag: 911 RSR

We’ve had five great days on the 2010 R Gruppe Bergmeister Tour. The participants have covered thousands of incredible kilometres, on twisty clifftop roads, to some of the highest mountain passes in Europe.

We’ll review the lessons learnt on the Bergmeister in due course but, apart from the satisfaction of knowing that our fellow Porsche enthusiasts have all had a great time, the crest of our current emotional wave is the joy of no serious mechanical failures suffered by the protagonists.

Yesterday was our first toe-in-the-water taster of a track day organised with Twin Spark involvement for early and aircooled 911s.

21 classic Porsche cars from the UK joined 6 of us from the Netherlands to attend an open pit lane day at Spa Francorchamps, overseen by RSR Nurburg.

Following an interesting briefing and track walk with RSR’s Ron Simons, we were delighted to pass the 107 dB noise test and [...]

Just wanted to share with you the new look of Woodstock. We have taken our logos and had a front hood sticker made to promote TwinSpark Racing. In the Dutch GTTC championship we are allowed to run with “fitting” sponsor decoration, so we designed a period-style striping. Hope you like it. We’ll be running Woodstock on Monday at Spa in this new outfit.
