The smiles on the faces of those driving have been the best reward for every ounce of work TwinSpark Racing have put into organising the event, and preparing two of the cars taking part! I don’t know what we can do to top this for fun, but you can be sure that the thinking caps have gone on.

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.

It’s a common misconception that the range of WEVO Porsche Parts are built for racing cars. The truth is, they’re suitable for all Porsches, whether road, race or rally.

The original Porsche designers were working to a draft of simplicity, for both weight and cost. Though Porsche are a prestige manufacturer, they have always manufactured in volume, so anything saved on the cost of one part is multiplied by many thousands at the end of the financial year.

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.

We’ll be running Woodstock on Monday at Spa in this new outfit.
