What? TVR racing at Sebring? In the USA?

[venom7]

Beat the Spyker, Zonda, Saleen and Lister. Not bad.

In the real world all of those cars that TVR beat cost several more times the Tuscan.

Great publicity for TVR. Capitalize on it!

[FunkyNige]

Not so good news for Lister tho

And I'm confused - what's the GTP class? Only Bentley seem to be in it

[gary_tholl]

GTP is the closed coupe prototypes. Same rules as the open prototypes (Audi R8) except for slightly smaller tires, I believe.

Good show from TVR.

I just hope those of us in the USA are sending e-mails congratulating TVR for their successful run.

Hope all that pressure from those of us in the USA will finally get PW to change his mind!

Kick a$$ GB USA!

[thurl]

Congrats to TVR! I hope the USA auto mags give TVR some lines. The more publicity for TVR, the more aware Americans will be--leading TVR to realize that they have agolden opportunity in the USA.

Thank you GB for being such a good friend to the USA!

Is TVR going to participate in any other ALMS events?

Thought I would refresh this topic so that we could compare notes as TVR runs Sebring this weekend.

Good luck to TVR--Win on Saturday and sell on Monday!

Apparently there's a road car at Sebring(don't know what model yet) and someone(from another website) has apparently taken pics of it with the race car, anyone have any more info?

Surely not...............

I believe there is a 2003 or 2004 Tuscan down in Florida (there was a new Tuscan for sale on Ebay last year)...

How are you aware of a new TVR posing for pictures with the racing car? Can you facilitate getting pictures for those of us on Pistonheads?

[fizz]

2.5 hours into the race both running!

Just in case anyone missed it:

Ouch

Supersonic, thanks the for the video--I didn't see the crash, but I did see the TVR going through the corner--looks very spiff if you ask me!

No probs, that was the first crash where the radiator was damaged (you can see part of the front spoiler break off) and had to be replaced, of course there wasn't even a scratch on the Porsche!

A few more pics (shrunk for our resident dial up users)




Some puzzled Americans
