Hi

We are in the process of stripping a Sagaris to race in the Gt Cup series next year,everything is being changed apart from the chassis and body, so i will have everything else for sale including a full interior,brakes,coilovers,pedal box,engine (4000 miles since full re build)ect ect................

My son Dannny raced an old Tuscan challege car in the series this year and finished 3rd in class 1 and 5th overall, but had 4 DNF'S which proberly cost him a class win ?

We are hoping the Sagaris will be a better car and more reliable in the 25 min races ?

I will post some pictures of the build as we go along,and put all the items in the for sale TVR section.

Good luck with the Sagaris build. We came along to see Danny race on a couple of occassions this year in the GT Cup and will certainly be attending some races in 2011 to cheer him onthumbup
I have just sent you an email re some of the spares that you may have for sale from the Sag.

Nice one Craig, good to see you and Danny flying the TVR flag once again. Would you mind me asking which engine and gearbox you will be running in the sag?

Hi!
Which seats were in the car.
If they the half bucket seats
from a Tamora or T350, I am
interested! No matter of colour
and condition-need to be trimmed
to match!

We are using the speed six,and the Elite six speed sequential gearbox,all the wishbones will be rose jointed,as on the tuscan challenge chassis,

Brakes are Brembo 380mm front and 360mm rear (they are off a porsche gt2 Le Mans car) brake bias pedal box with no servo.

Hi Dave

We would love to do a round or 2 in the challenge and would have joined you last year if the tuscan had been more reliable ?

I have a good feeling about this car,Danny is looking forward to running agaist the Ferraris and the Porsches with it,it's going to have be in Kawasaki green as it is a colour that stands out on the grid pluss the back markers can see in coming.
I had a satin black rx7 with a 690hp ls2 in that i used on track days and no one could see it coming in their mirror's,i had to paint the wing mirrors bright green and that cured the problem.
are you still racing the wedge?

Really? If I was looking to take a TVR and add reliability, I wouldn't look to a 1970s Lotus getmecoat

Hi Craig, That car will look ace in Kawasaki Green. I know what you mean about the colour. I could always spot Danny coming up behind, but darker cars a little more difficult.

Yip, I'm racing the wedge for one more season and then I'm hanging up my driving boots. Its lots of fun and I really enjoy racing but I need to start saving some pennies.

Hi CRaig / Danny

Project sounds pretty exciting. I was watching out for you this year on the various GT cup programmes on Motors TV and when out on track Danny certainly seemed to be impressing as usual. Best of luck with the build and I lok forward to following you next year.

Thanks Owen,

Hope you are well,

We struggled with the old AJP in GT CUP this year, 19 years of racing and 200+ kilo's of ballast (from what it was designed to run with) plus an extra 5 mins racing was just to much for the old girl.

The shape of the car didn't help and was getting mullered on the straights only to catch them again in the corners ?

The Sagaris is a better shape and if we can have reliability it should be quick ?

Regards

Craig
