Time for another Bergmeister retrospective! I love looking back at the pictures from this event, which saw TwinSpark Racing sponsor a mega road trip for ten classic Porsche 911s from the European R Gruppe tribe. We have so far driven from Amsterdam to Geneva to Briancon to Monaco: now we start day 4.

Having arrived in Monte Carlo the previous evening, day 4 saw us all set to enter the heart of the 2010 Bergmeister Tour: to drive classic Monte Carlo rally stages, following the genius RallyAtlas sat nav application (sadly now defunct).

With Björn will be X-Games legend and NASCAR superhero, Travis Pastrana. “Competing [...]
