Leonard Stolk, MD of Dutch classic Porsche specialist, Twinspark Racing, announces a major distribution deal for lightweight Porsche parts and classic racing equipment, made in Britain by Yorkshire-based EB Motorsport.

The 2011 Dutch Historic GT champions, TwinSpark Racing, and twice World Sportscar Master champions, EB Motorsport, forged their agreement while both MDs were still in racing overalls, following the 2012 Masters round at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

A discussion with Hayden Burvill at WEVO in California last week reminded me of the groundbreaking semi-solid engine mounts Hayden developed for the 996 and 997 911 models.

Silverado – the Twinspark Racing Porsche 911 ST – returned from the body shop last week sporting only a single color 8080 silver and having its rear end corrected. Silver colors and cosmetic surgery are not uncommon on older ladies and Silverado is no exception. However, this paint job covered up a rush job by an incompetent colleague and the bodywork corrected an intimate encounter with a nameless Italian on a Dolomite mountain pass! The things these cars are up to when you’re not looking.

And there’s more work to follow, to get the rear end straight with the rest of the body. On the inside a new, correct 300 km speedo is going into the dash, as soon as we work out why suddenly you need to switch on the tripmaster to get a speed reading…

After our open exhaust race with the Hulk [...]
