As I type this, the boys are all at the circuit getting signed in on the 2011 TwinSpark Racing Spa track day. Leonard has come with the Hulk, so we should have some fun around Spa with that this morning. I’ve just waved Paul and Chris off from the hotel:
Weather here is brightening up, nice breeze in the trees. The forecast is for sunshine later. We have slicks ready to go on the car for a warm track, or wets for something colder.
Not too late a night last night. I got here about 4.30 and shared a beer or two with some of the early Impact Bumpers crowd. People started trickling in throughout the evening, L arrived from [...]

We were delighted to receive an order from new UK Porsche builder David Fitzgerald this week.
David has taken over the ashes of the former Sean Lockyear Porsche business in Yorkshire, and is working on some classic 911 race and rally builds for customers. The new cars will feature a range of parts from TwinSpark Racing, including WEVO Porsche transmission parts.
Well-known English engine builder Mike Bainbridge is also connected to the enterprise. Mike and David have been dividing work according to their strengths: Mike is building some transmissions for David, while David carries out some Bainbridge chassis work. It’s all good business, and great to see new life in the Porsche world despite the media doom and gloom.
TwinSpark racing is always happy to discuss [...]
