Can we beat this for a new world record

[npope]

Seeing this today I am sure we could get TVR back in the papers and in to the record books.

400 TVRs at Chatsworth for a picnic so I don't see why not.

Blimey, I just tried to add a comment to Sun(comic)on-line.

...must be early in the morning.

No is the short answer,the long one is that this is only a record for the number of Fezzas on track at one time.The record for the number of cars of one make is,i think ,held by Citroen and stands at about ten zillion.Tempus

Yep think the french have this one all but sewn up - mind you don't think it was officially recognised as a record so there is still a window, but in real terms I think the Citroen nutters have it. They did it proper too, not just a Citroen gathering, this was just one model



1600 they claim the count was, top bombing

last summer at the TVRCC Diamond Rock event 551 TVR's took to the raceway, just not sure if it was verified by Guiness, if it was then the good old Sun gotr it wrong again.

Was never verified.

I have a funny feeling it might have somthing to do with Guniess BOWR suffering from Max Moseley Syndrome... The uncontrolable desire to lick ferraris ass.

Guiness World Records are a law to themselves.

Had professional dealings with them. NOT IMPRESSED!

551 tvrs at rockingham

[caduceus]

WTF!? Surely there was a Guiness BOWR at Rockinham that day?

I know the London Thunder event didn't count, but assumed the Diamond Rock one was legit, and TVR entered the record books.

I think this needs to be done again, but with a reporter/tv crew present to document the results, so Guiness can't shaft the event.

Sooooooooo many possibilities

I think the reason Citroen did not get it was because the cars need to be rolling and no more than 2 car lengths apart. Correct me if I am wrong but was Rockingham just a collection or was it a full rolling preseason.

But as most of you have said I am sure it is the Sun getting it wrong again

It was a full rolling preseason around the track, see pic's

we all had to sign a form and hand it in if we took park.
