Not a TVR I know, but look what we had on the dyno today !

[stones]

Hi all,

Okay not a TVR but thought you might like to see pictures of what was on our dyno for the day !







For obvious reasons we can't give too much information, and nor could we take any close up pictures. But has certainly been a fun day helping the Sebah team test their LMP1 Le Mans racer.

Clucking bell, that looks a bit tasty!

[ph1l5]

Hell yeah. thats amazing beats my crappy day in the office.

[dickieandjulie]

Nice!

[Tangoed]

It's alright for some! I had to work
What a beastie

[FUBAR]

Awesome!

Quite diddy isnt it!

[Steve_T]

That's quite a scoop! Diddy it might be, but I bet it's got a bit of poke! Perhaps even a little more than the mighty yellow beastie Fubes

Good to see all the long term dyno investment is paying off, they've had some really serious cars on there. that I know of:
apart from TVRs on a daily basis, Lamborghini's, some time ago a twin turbo dodge Viper, a famous classic Pontiac GTO, many race cars and many more very exotic machines, some interesting cars will be at the open day i'm told.
Good luck to these guys they really have worked for it.

Hi Harry,

it was running a JUDD V8 with six speed sequencial box.
I would love to tell you what power it made but not allowed but was spot on with what the JUDD engine technicians said it should be.

[bobthemonkey]

Whose chassis are they using? Is it an in-house design or from Lola et.al.?

[shalmaneser]

That is so so cool. the Judd V8s sounded amazing at Le Mans, although not as good as the corvettes!

can i have your job?

Lola B08/80 Coupe. It's also in LMP2 not LMP1

That's interesting, correct me if I'm wrong my understanding is the only real difference now between LMP1 & 2 is the ACO changing the regulations to slow down the LMP2's to stop them embarrassing the factory LMP1's.

Basically. The official reason was to make LMP1 a manufacturer class, while LMP2 was for independant/customer teams. Then Henri Percasaolo (sp) and other made a bit of a fuss about being relegated to the second division as I understand it.

Blimey, that's a good day at the office..
