TVR back to LM.........
Discussion
Apart from money from the three vinyl transfers on the car, Rebellion need sweet fa from a car name that has yet to start production. There will be no swapping of technical 'expertise' because there is no similarity in the Rebellion and the new Griffith if it ever turns up.
It's a marketing exercise, nothing more and all the TVR fanboys are getting damp pants over it.

No just some big tvr stickers and some money if you stick them on your Porsche to remind people TVR are back 
Shame as I quite like the Rebellion T1000 watch snip at £107,200 and that's including tax, those big tvr stickers will not fit on my new toy VX220, so I loose out on both counts, mind you I am at Le Mans again this year so at least I will see the big TVR sticker

It's in the article:
"It also allows TVR to work with a competitive racing team and apply these learnings to the development and production of not only TVR road cars, but also our future one-make series and track cars."
Pay for advertising, get brand awareness and race data back.
Yes very clever regarding the advertising but don,t forget Les Edgar already has Le Man experience as he sponsored Aston Martin "It also allows TVR to work with a competitive racing team and apply these learnings to the development and production of not only TVR road cars, but also our future one-make series and track cars."

Join the Rebellion.
Excellent news - will really make watching Le Mans much more interesting.
The LMP1 group racing should hopefully be more interesting, with the ACO changes to equalise the Hybrids and regular engined cars like the Rebellion.
Nice little future idea - pop the (Rebellion) Gibson engine in the New Griffith and race it next year.

If they need to promote the brand, why did they buy it instead of making a new one in the first place??
It's not brand promotion, it's brand re-enforcement. Associating a brand with other brands or occasions likely to re-enforce it is completely normal behaviour.Every car manufacturer with an ounce of good sense and a reputation worth promoting engages in it, even the superstar brands that you might imagine wouldn't need to.

Does TVR need "brand visibility" ??
Surely just getting on an releasing a decent road car will do it?
Does anyone who watches circuit racing care enough to buy a TVR road car because an entirely different car won some race or other?
Back in the 1990's maybe, in 2018, i'm a lot less certain?

Surely what they’re able to learn and ultimately transmit into their own developed race cars..and subsequently into their own road cars will be hugely beneficial. I keep hearing ‘bragging~rights’ as being important to current TVR owners. Surely just getting on an releasing a decent road car will do it?

I’m getting the very strong impression that Les and his team are doing an awful lot of homework/research into getting the new Griff being an absolute monster.
This move needs to be heavily applauded imo.

They need to get on with getting the road car... in production and on the road.
Christ if you have enough money you can turn up at certain LMP1 chassis manufacturers and buy yourself a car. Which they clearly haven’t.. so they’ve bought sticker area.
Smells like diversion tactics to me.
I have read some of your comments and who cares it puts the TVR brand name back up there. And i am sure Les Edgar has the big picture lined up for GT3 eventually. You have to walk before you can run and the small production car business is a fragile one. I personally have not heard of Rebellion but to see the TVR name on the bonnet means a lot to me as it probably does to a lot of TVR fans. As you can imagine i am passionate about TVRs i own 2 and would like to see them back and i wish Mr Edgar all the success he deserves.
