Good luck TVR. This is one of the big tests for LeMans.

Show well and maybe Peter Wheeler will have better memories of the USA!

For those interested, the whole race is going to be shown LIVE on the Speed Channel in the US, starting at 10AM, and finishing, surprisingly for a 12 hour race, 13 hours later !!

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the lone TVR !

Qualified 49th out of 57 with a time of 2:13 vs. Bentley's 1:49.
The key is going the distance. Can't wait to watch the race and may TVR do real well!

There's a RealPlayer webcast of 'Radio Sebring' I guess you could call it. John Hindhaugh is commentating, the same guy that does Radio Le Mans so it should be very good.

Now, with 2 hours 13 minutes remaining in the race,
TVR has now moved into the top 20 overall, now holding down 20th position.
This a great result for the first visit to Sebring for
TVR in 40 years!!!!!!!

They made it.

What a fantastic effort. 20th overall and 7th in the GT class.

This race is probably as hard on the cars as Le Mans. The track is SO bumpy.

A great achievement !!!

Congratulations to all at TVR
