Vasek Polak Jr joins the boys to give an anecdote-laden account of how his father left Chechoslovakia for America in 1949, a move which culminated in the first stand-alone Porsche dealership in the US and a motorsports business preparing race cars for some of the most decorated Stateside names including Roger Penske, Bob Holbert and George Follmer. With long-held links to Porsche AG and enviable success with iconic race cars such as the 917, 934 and 935, Vasek Polak is a household name in racing and commerce, yet few know how the dynasty started – until now!

The boys kick off series 3 with an exclusive in-depth chat with both Singer Vehicle Design’s founder and CEO to chat about the company’s outrageous ACS, a competition-spec safari reimagining of the Porsche 911.

Speaking to Road to Redline on the day the ACS was released to the world, Rob and Maz give us the inside track on how Singer has grown since 2009, plus development secrets of the ACS and DLS – with interesting discussion on what’s next for the company...

Rob and Maz also get to answer the infamous 'Road to Redline' ten questions, with some unpredictable answers.

Information on the ACS...

At the request of a long-term client, Singer has looked to a golden era of Porsche rallying in the 1980s, and to automotive heroes including the 911 SC/RS and 959, to reimagine his air-cooled 911s as World Rally Championship-inspired, all-terrain competition machines.

Singer’s latest services will enable their clients to go off-road racing, with a Porsche 911 modified by Singer for all-terrain use.

The All-terrain Competition Study has been undertaken by Singer, in partnership with renowned 911 rally specialist Richard Tuthill, in response to the request from their client for modifications to his air-cooled Porsche 911 that would enable the car to compete in off-road racing and to demonstrate extensive all-terrain exploration capabilities. To highlight the broad repertoire of the ACS, the client has commissioned two machines, one – in Singer’s iconic Parallax White – focused on high-speed desert rallying and a second – in Corsica Red – configured for high-speed, high-grip tarmac events and disciplines.

Porsche 911s prepared by UK-based off-road competition specialist Richard Tuthill have dominated rally events for decades, with recent victory in the 2019 East African Safari Classic marking a remarkable 4th win in the gruelling 5000km event across Kenya and Tanzania. These successes sit alongside deep expertise from the world of WRC competition and events such as the Paris-Dakar.
