1991 Tuscan Challenge video found

[kevin63]

I have just found some video I took at Mallory Park in 1991 of the Tuscan Challenge racing, it was a double header, the quality is not too good (click on high quality) and the same goes for my filming, but it brought back some great memories.

gerry could certainly pedal a car.

I remember seeing the Tuscans when they first came out and was amazed at the speed they lapped at, I was hooked from then on.
Gerry Marshall drove a few different types of cars and drove them all well and was a true pleasure to watch.

Ahhh... memories of Eurosport channel back in the mid '90s when they did some sort of British motorsport roundup programme every two weeks or so, featuring BARC(?) Saloon Car Championship - I remember one or two great tussles between Andy Middlehust in the Skyline and Ed Abbott in the Saab, various tintop one- make championships, Caterhams and of course the Tuscan Challenge - the fastest, loudest and most spectacular one-make series I've seen. Must have subconsciously spawned my interest in TVRs...

There's been some great early Tuscan Challenge footage been posted over the weekend (got an email from Andy at TVR Monster posting links to some of the above, too) - thanks chaps!

Some other TVRs racing here (not Tuscan racers) at Donnington Park, but I need a little help with which one's because I am not too familiar with the older types of TVRs.
