TVR at Le Mans 2017

[cavebloke]

So last October Les Edgar was talking about going to Le Mans in 2017. I'm guessing that is off given the delays with generating the base car. What do people think? Is 2018 even that likely?
I'm planning to go to Le Mans again when TVR has a works entry; especially now diesel entries have hopefully become nothing more than a bad dream.

Fixed that for ya!
My thoughts also, but be careful what you wish for, by the time TVR have a works entry, the cars may all be electric ...or fuel-cell ...or worse!

That article ( Oct 2015 ) said that TVR intended to reveal and display their future Le Mans contender at the 2017 24hr event, and hoped to be racing there in 2018.
With the delays, I would imagine that is now a difficult deadline to meet, especially if homologstion numbers have to be met.
Therefore Le Mans 2019 is the most likely scenario. Make no mistake, Les Edgar is passionate about TVR returning there and is determined to do it properly with the intent of winning ( in its class ).
I for one am sooooo looking forward to being there and supporting the team!
