Leonard has just put WEVO engine mounts into his 996 GT3 and is super impressed with the results.

“Mounts are finally in and what a difference it makes! The car feels like new, no wobbles in the back anymore and reduced vibrations, believe it or not!” says the TwinSpark frontman of his new equipment.

Factory engine mounts are a comfort-centric compromise that allow some engine and gearbox movement in spirited driving. This movement can lead to a lack of complete control, as the drivetrain shifts out of harmony with the chassis. It also places additional stress on the suspension, already working hard at controlling the car.

Minimising excess drivetrain motion is a Porsche Motorsport priority. The factory fits solid engine mounts to its race cars, to firmly connect the drivetrain and chassis, maximise suspension control and enhance accuracy [...]

Another good day for Leonard in our Viper Green RSR: his second P3 finish of the weekend in the HARC Historic Racing at TT Assen Circuit.

Leonard describes the race as “no more tyres: a slippery game of chance in the high-speed corners.” I don’t have much else to report at the minute but will fill you in soon.

He’s sent me some interesting pics from the pre-race paddock and also two from the finish. That black and gold Escort looks like a useful tool.

I love this one on the car transporter, though I’m sure I won’t like the bill when it comes up at the next shareholders meeting. Boys and their (very big) toys!

A great day for TwinSpark Porsche Racing at the HARC races in Assen today. In its first race since a Winter engine rebuild – by TwinSpark rather than outside suppliers – our Viper Green Porsche 911 RSR took third place in the Historic Touring Car race.

“I started sixth on the grid,” said Leonard Stolk, top man at TwinSpark. “In front of me were a gaggle of Escorts, behind in eighth position was Lex Proper, fellow TwinSpark partner and well known Netherlands racer. The lights go out, the Escort in front bogs down off the line, and Lex goes shooting up the middle: from eighth to second in 300 metres!

“Sadly, Lex found Woodstock developing rich running problems on [...]
