Gold Leaf Performance

I make no bones about the fact that I've been very lucky this past few years of building content, running a podcast and connecting with brands I respect, only for most of the time, that turn in to friendships.

The Porsche culture seems to attract a lot of just good people. Martin and David are no exception. It just so happens they developed the most exciting modification for normally aspirated 981 or 718 Cayman's EVER.

When the GT4 RS came out, despite having no need for a track biased car, I was in love. It was everything I wanted Porsche to do with the platform. It's no secret that it had been throttled back to not step on big brother's toes.

So whilst developing a fully carbon (more so than the OEM version) intake that mimics the 4RS doesn't immediately turn any N/A Cayman in to one, it creates an intensely exciting package.

So much so that I put my money where my mouth is, after meeting the guys at the Nurburgring, hanging out with them and spending time in their demo GT4. It's THAT good.

This episode unpicks their background, the approach they took, as well as their thoughts on the future of the industry.

Nerd out my friends.

Some episodes come about over a quick brew and a realisation that we're pals in waiting. Others whether it's because of logistics, scheduling or even personal reasons, it can take months, if not years to get locked in. You know what, that's OK! The important bit is that when we get it, we get a great episode that you people all love to listen to.

The other thing that's almost entirely out of my hands is whether someone is willing to share their personal journey. Some people like me ol' mate Mike Brewer, are seasoned veterans and the bit I have to do is help breathe life in to a story well told.

Some people find it hard and take a while to warm up. Then there's Colin Belton who even in the first few minutes owns the space in the room and claps himself in (to sync audio tracks). :D

For lots of reasons it's one of the most interesting conversations I've had on this journey through international Porsche culture that I've had.

I'll take a moment out to credit Ninemeister, not Colin only but the rest of the team building the 9m cars. I looked closely as I always do and take notes on fitment of panel gaps, consistent use of fixings, fitment of rubber trim and even joins in carpet. The cars are really incredibly well put together. The team there should be proud of what they produce.

Sadly for me, I didn't get the opportunity to go out in the 9mGT2 which was the point of the trip. Maybe I'll get an invite to drive the car and do a review. I suspect though, Colin is confident in the product enough to not want or need my review, and that's OK too.

It's a beast of an episode though and we get through a lot! Stay tuned to hear about Colin's take on his interaction with the Singer team as they were about to go live and uncover their first ever car at the Weathertech Laguna Seca circuit. It's an anecdote to rule them all.

Way back, when the RENN550 was being dreamt up, I started reaching out to companies that seemed a good fit. Whether it was the ethos of the company or someone that headed it up, I was carefully seeking out people that would appreciate being involved in something like a carbon bodied, Lotus chassis'd, Porsche inspired sports car.

Well Matt was one of those people. From the aesthetic of his instagram page to his obvious obsession with perfection, it just made sense to reach out and build bridges.

He couldn't have been nicer!

That meant a trip to South Wales to sit down and learn about his backstory and remind myself of what I know, and also expose where my knowledge reaches its limit; and it does.

That's OK though! That's exactly when you decide whether to extend the build time and learn to do it, or employ the services of an expert but accept it'll cost more in the long run.

It is super nerdy but that's what Tech Talk is all about.

The intro picks up on the RennSporter T6 Transporter van build, as well as my co-hosting the upcoming Niners Live event at Boxengasse, with Boxengasse legends, Frank Cassidy and Annabel Tatnall. People I've grown really fond of over the past few years.

That event is on the 20th of September so I'll see you there.

I'll also be at the Legends Drivers Club "Sonderwunsch" event at Goodwood circuit on Monday 25th!
