I think Graham Walden (graham on PH) has an arrive and drive car and maybe a couple of the other lads. As far as what R&D costs, I have no idea. Generally entry fees range from £340 to £370, dependent on track, for a 20 min qually and two 20 min races. Generally its good racing but last weekend was a bit lonely in Class C. Great set of lads with a good paddock atmosphere!

Have a look at our website www.tvrchampionship.co.uk

Graham :-)

You can mail me through my profile

The next race is 11/12 June at Brands.

We could probably arrange a car from Donnington which is 23rd July

Best to come down to brands and have a chat with some of the guys, we are all friendly and you can get a feel of what's involved.

Nice video, only shame is the windscreen wiper needs to be "parked" properly so it doesn't get in the way of the video?

What mods have you done to the 280i engine? Seems to be running more power than standard by quite a bit?

More of the same please....well worth a watch.

LOL.....window wiper sits where it wants to, I don't seem to have any control over it. Its basically an ornament as it stands about 1" off the windscreen at anything over 80mph!

The engine is actually a 2.9L 12v (granada) with triple weber carbs and a couple of other tweeks wink running at about 250bhp. First couple of laps of race two to follow in another thread.
