Trying out a Tuscan racer...

[rejn]

I'm looking for some help here, as a few internet searches and follow-up e-mails haven't got me much response...

I've got my national B license (yes, with my novice cross still...) and I've completed 5 races in an R400 Caterham. I'm therefore obviously not a top driver in any way, but I've got some natural car control, and looking to try out something a bit more powerful than a Caterham

With a busy work and family life I don't have time to do a full season's racing, so time in racing cars is limited and just for fun.

I'm interested in doing some track time in a TVR Tuscan racing car, but struggling to find anybody who can help me with this - does anybody on here have any ideas on this - are there any race teams who run cars that I could go and do a test day or race day with, for example?

Any ideas gratefully received!!

TopCats used to do trackdays with a tuscan challenge racer , they might be first people to call ?

Tim .. maybe some kind of group thing could be organised, Cliff also was interested in trying out a tuscan race car to see what they're like. Maybe a couple of others might like to join in and make it worth Boss Racing's while ?

good idea, I have the Guglielmi car that we could take to brands, take the roof off put some belts in the second seat, run an open pit day all day with a few drivers paying it could easily be viable, so who's up for this then,
we can gauge the interest and sort the details out later, if you bend it you buy it!!

I'm in....

[tbdgriff500]

You don't need the practice Andy you just want to thrash one of my cars

[Guillotine]

Yeah, but need to take Mark round!

Scared huh...are you scared?

Sounds like a great idea!

As joo said, we discussed this a couple of weeks ago when I collected the T350. Definitely like to try a Tuscan for size.

Back in 2002 a bunch of us PHers had a fabulous day with Topcats and their Tuscan at Bedford.



Give Warren and Charlotte a call.

Here's the PH news story from the time.

Oh. My. God.

I looked so young and innocent, was it really 12 years ago

(That's me next to Charlotte in the casually undone blue race suit, I imagine I thought I looked like I knew what I was doing).
