- Comments Off on Porsche Pictures from TwinSpark Racing RSR Brake Victory
We’ve just had more pictures through from the weekend’s racing at Zandvoort, where TwinSpark Racing took a very groovy 1-2 victory in the Porsche 911 RSRs.
The winning RSR of TwinSpark partner Lex Proper (below) was running our new-to-market Zuffenhaus RSR brakes, now available in the TwinSpark Racing shop.
Confidence in the brakes is a key part of any racer’s armoury. Lex reports the brakes as exceptionally fade resistant, with impressive bite and great feedback. Running late on brakes and deep into the corners allows for some exciting passing manoeuvres when competition is tough, so the TwinSpark team are very optimistic for a thrilling rest of this season.

Racing on our home circuit was fun. Though Leonard in the Hulk has the advantage of a 3.0 RSR engine on MFI, the genuine Porsche ’74 RSR calipers and the wider track of Hulk, Lex’s long-time race craft, the light yellow RSR and slick tyres gave an advantage that was played to full effect.
Winning with products we saw the potential of before they were ever built is a delight [...]
The first working set of Zuffenhaus RSR brakes have arrived at TwinSpark Racing from the USA. It’s been a long wait, but the finished product looks amazing – hopefully our customers will feel they’ve been worth hanging on for. Here’s some pics of a caliper half post-anodising.
The idea behind these brake calipers was to build a set of RSR-style brakes that could fit as the originals, but use all still-available 911 Turbo/930 seals and service parts. The development has been riddled with challenges, but Zuffenhaus have finally brought all of the elements together and produced a remarkable and beautiful brake kit for the Porsche 911.
We have a sizable investment in this project; both financial and in our reputation. The [...]
