TuscanR now an official entry for Sebring

[beast]

...stage 1 for the potential LeMans return

[PetrolTed]

But is it? That's a Dewalt/Stanton/Hyde entry not a factory entry.

[d_drinks]

Would be great if this was a prelude to TVR being back at Le Mans in 2003 but even if it's not it will still be bloody fantastic to see a Tuscan racing State side at Sebring. Well done to the Richard and co. Wonder if they're talking the GSXR 750 powered pit buggy they hoon around in at the Tuscan series?... err... yes that's right a Suzuki GSXR 750 lump in a pit buggy
totally but sounds !!

The good folks on DSC were using the phrase 'TVR Works Entry' regarding the Stanton car.

Although I could be mistaken (as usual).

Aren't TVR going in the semi-works team direction this year?

[beast]

I'm sure the rest of the story will emerge over the next weeks - but that is the "Factory-supported" entry.

I'm up at the Factory tomorrow, I'll try and remember to ask someone who might know

[nubbin]

What time are you there, terminator. I'm there tomorrow afternoon, dropping off my Tamora for a service, and flasher and Benno are there to see thier T350's in-build. I should be there about 2-ish. See you in reception for coffee and chat?

Now 9th - Go TVR! 93 laps of the 3.7mile circuit completed and 2 stops. Looking good. Wish I had Speed channel - anyone watching?

Hutch

[bob the planner]

Two stops in quick succession - does not look so good and lap times of 2:30 (were about 2:15)

Bob

[Paul]

looks like the car's settled down again - 10th in class and lapping around 2:14

Come On TVR!

[bob the planner]

Half way and still going !

[roop]

7 hours gone, 23rd overall. Bring it on...!

[ehasler]

9 1/2 gone - 21st place overall, 7th in class!!

[bigtone]

A tad over two hours to go, and Rob is 20th overall, 7th in class still. It's all good!!

Incidentally, there is some good radio coverage at:

http://play.rbn.com/?url=lemans/lemans/live/race.rm&proto=dual&rbnkey=1

You can understand the presenters, and they just did a nice two minute slot on the Tiv, talking about how much it had upset the rest of the field when it joined.

Keep up that good work TVR team!!!

[ehasler]

19th now! Fantastic! I was hoping for an early night tonight, but may just have to stay up for the last 2 hours!

[krispy]

Glad to see I'm not the only one sitting up hunched over the PC listening to it all!

18th overall, 5th in class and an hour and ten to go......... Keep it going lads!

[ehasler]

What's happening? I can't get the radio broadcast, but they've slipped down to 21st now...

[krispy]

Buggered if I know.... the status is LRUN but what on earth does that mean...they haven't mentioned anything on the radio......???????
