Hi Andy
I have got the Rover to 1:12 on slix 1:14.5 on 888's but that is about it for the old girl with out changing the 4.5 which I'm not doing. I want to keep it as it was in the day. Chevrolet not been out this year yet. Best so far with that is 1:09 but mostly consistent low 1:10's I have been having a bit of work done to the heads and up to my tricks with the aero. Not putting the aero on this weekend so car will be as it was last year. I have now finished my latest design of diffuser, flat floor and some rear wing mods oh and fatter rubber all of which I will be trying out very soon.
Maureen Thanx for you kind wishes see you & Hui soon I hope.

See you there Sat Perry - James and I are sharing the car in FC on Sun - shame it's the last race of the day!
Yep will be good to see you both again. You can blame me for the late timing as I'm in GT's both days as well as FC on Sunday , so Jo leaves enough time in the schedule to get swopped over from one car to the other. Still it will be sunny at five
Hi Bob,
As always it will be really good to see you, try and make Sunday if you can more TVR action although there is a very nice 60's V8 Tuscan out on Saturday in "Swinging Sixty's". Actually I will leave it to you because the FC race is scheduled for 5pm and you are not usually around at that time. don't forget your sun cream

Great weekend's racing for Perry and team - first outright win in the Sports and GT Championship in the LS3 Tuscan, followed by a first win in Future Classics in the RV8 Tuscan both on Sunday, after a second (first in Class A) on Saturday in the Sports GT. You deserve a break after that!
.Thank You all for the kind words it was really an excellent weekend for TVR and as Richard says full of firsts for me oh and a second on sat in the GT's. In three weeks I have had 5 races and 5 podiums definatly on a roll. The Chevrolet car was awesome and the Rover was faultless. Cheers everyone.
well done
we had a boys weekend away, i was going to say hello in the pits on sat but everyone looked busy working on the car, so we left you in peace. so of course all the unreliable TVR rubbish was thrown my way, but they all shut up when you got out on track. great drive ,and also good to see the tuscan v8 finnish second in its race as well.

I was in the porsche 928. I couldn't stop going into the chicane trying to out brake you. Hope you did the same otherwise sorry I fired you down the escape road! Its ashame I had the 30 sec penalty, could of been an epic battle. Congrats on the win!
Thanx man, I left my brakes too late by several meters and was definatly never going to get to turn in properly. I recon you certainly have big .......!! as at least you managed to get it into the chicane. It would of been a right dust up as you say, My Tuscan was feeling really good. Still we both have 30 second penalty now for next time. This is a bit boring after the first lap as I was leading the pack in Future classic's race but Richard comes into view at 8.28 in and over taking from there on in

thats good then, i thought i might of run you up the escape road, it was more luck than judgement i made it into the chicane. should be good at anglesey. im booked in just hope i can make it as im supposed to be racing with a customer at donington on the same day. as at least you managed to get it into the chicane. It would of been a right dust up as you say, My Tuscan was feeling really good. Still we both have 30 second penalty now for next time. well done on winning in the other car too, not a easy task racing two different cars on the same day
