- Comments Off on TV worth watching on Christmas Day: Porsche Rally on Motors
The review programme of the 2011 Dunlop/WONAGO MSA British Historic Rally Championship will make perfect festive viewing when it is screened for the first time on Motors TV at 9pm on Christmas Day. The 2011 championship was fought to the finish, with an Escort and a 911 neck-and-neck for the overall crown.
The spectacle of Porsche 911s, Ford Escorts, Saabs, Vauxhall Chevettes and Hillman Imps tackling classic forest and asphalt stages is surely the perfect antidote to the regular Christmas Day TV programmes. The two-hour review covers all the action, as crews competed from the forests of Wales to the closed public roads of Ulster and Flanders. The programme will include stunning in-car footage, as well as interviews with some of the characters involved in historic rallying.

- Comments Off on TwinSpark Racing in 911 & Porsche World magazine
I’ve got a nice little mention for TwinSpark Racing and The Hulk – our Dutch GT Championship-winning 3.0 RSR – in this month’s 911 & Porsche World magazine.
Each contributor gets a double page spread in rotation by issue to talk about what has caught their eye. This month is my turn. I ran with a few stories from WEVO dealer Specialist Vehicle Preparations, Tuthill Porsche, Porsche UK, Nicolas Hunziker and dearest TwinSpark.
The pic featured was taken by Leonard, on the day that Lex Proper cut the roof off The Hulk and welded in a sunroof-free panel. That week, the car was repainted up top and inside, ahead of our Spa track day. Everyone loved it in Belgium, so the work clearly paid off.
