Consider for a moment the responsibility we accept when moving a client’s rare and ofttimes irreplaceable vintage Porsche. The entire process requires complete focus, years of experience, and precise choreography. For Labor Day weekend this year, we were challenged like never before.

Lime Rock Park’s Historics Festival is one of the finest annual vintage automobile gatherings in North America. Each year, a noted collector is chosen to be featured under the tent. For 2021, the nod went to renowned architect Steven Harris. Steven’s Porsche collection is truly extraordinary, rivaling the best in the world. We’ve been fortunate to have cared for many of his cars over the years and can attest to the quality, beauty and diversity of his curation.

 

For this year’s Historic Festival, 24 of Steven’s cars needed to moved between three locations over the course of four days. We were honored to receive the call to handle the transport, but also [...]

As usual, our track season kicked off at Sebring with four events beginning with PBOC at the end of January through International GT in late February. In addition to our own SpeedSport Tuning clients, we collaborated with Monticello Motor Club and provided support for their members as well. We’ve had a trusted partnership with MMC since their early days and we look forward to another fantastic season working with their members and staff.

The annual 48 Hours of Sebring PCA event started even earlier for us as we began the week with our good friends at David Murry Track Days. And of course there was rain…because…Sebring. Dave Kuchrawy, Andrew Marks and Gene Raymondi all raced under our awning and got tons of track time. In the PCA race weekend, Dave finished 5th in race one, 4th in race [...]

Competition Oil ServiceYou know how important it is to regularly change the oil on your street car. Well, it's even more important and required more frequently on your track car. The higher temperatures and consistent high revolutions can break down your oil quicker, resulting in less protection as time goes on. Frequent oil services are one of the best things you can do to prolong the life and top performance of your track car.Contact us at 203 730-0311 for all your Porsche needs.

Competition transportation to and from the trackGetting to and from the track for a D.E., track day, or racing event doesn’t have to be a hassle. Leave the transportation to us. We’ll safely and securely load and transport your vehicle to the track, along with your spare wheels and tires, fuel, etc., so all you have to do is show up. With your helmet and HANS device of course.Contact us at 203 730-0311 for all your competition and track needs.

Porsche Competition Brake Repair, Service and ReplacementPorsche’s factory brakes are some of the best OE units available. But if you are spending a lot of time on the track, an upgrade might be in order. Street cars have brake components that are compromised for street use and will come up short under serious track time. Brakes are not just a vitally important safety component, they can also dramatically lower your lap times. Brake later and deeper into corners and you’ll gain a competitive advantage over your competitors. Most passing takes place in the braking zones, after all. Between new pads, rotors and higher temp fluid alone you’ll see big improvement, both in stopping power and in fade resistance. Add new lines and your gains will be even greater. We’ll look at not just your car, but also how you plan on using it and give you our recommendations on products that fit your exact needs and optimize your stopping power.
