Have I heard correctly that only one TVR has got into Le Mans and the other is only
way down the reserve list?

That would be such a shame for the team and us fans.

Hope I've heard wrong.

Thanks for clarification Bert, very much appreciated.

Are you able to say if the team will carry any restrictions due to numbers sold?

If the intense support you will receive could be converted, you'd win the race out right.

Wishing you & the team every success - we'll be right there with you all week. Roll on June.

I assume that there will be a dozen Porka's, not that its a bad car mind, however soon it will be the Porche GT championship , can't be good for the sport IMHO.

Um 9 from 14, certainly know how to make it diverse for the crowds don't they. I wonder why other manufacturers think hard before investing money in GT racing then .

Big can of worms there Harry.

It seems one team completed every race in the ALMS for two years and did well
at Sebring and STILL got over looked.

No logic there, except perhaps...French!

Hi Bert.

Could you not have a donations account set up?

Let say there are 1000 TVRs there this year as reportedly there were last year.
Say there are two people a car and each person donates as little as £10?

£20k must help the cause!

There are enough people 'officially' booked via the car club to run a piece in the
Sprint Magazine I would have thought?

So come on guys and gals, let's all dig deep for 'our' team, maybe an extra
incentive if one were needed were some randomly drawn pit passes?

Get the merchandise up for Le Mans and we'll buy that too, financial and
visual support in one hit!

If I can do anything, let me know.

Regards
Graham

It is allowed to test
Thanks Graham.

At least that gives double the development time.

Might have to look into running over for the weekend.
