Tag: R Gruppe

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.

I’m currently in California, writing this on the porch at WEVO towers in beautiful San Francisco sunshine. Leonard is just about to arrive and pick up a 911 to take to Monterey. We’ll be spending the weekend down there at Rennsport Reunion.

Our track day on Monday at Spa was a big success. Twenty early Porsche 911s could be seen enjoying themselves on a dry, sunny afternoon at the legendary Belgian circuit. We had the passenger seat in The Hulk (above) and everyone who had a turn was awestruck by the speed of the car. That’s a WEVO shifter with SL shift knob in there by the way.

I hear the following day was wet and rainy, [...]
