Dave It would have been 7 had I not pulled mine apart to sort out the handling. Good luck against Messrs Begbie and Ashworth.

Sorry you won't be with us. After the fuelling problems I had in Spa, handling is the least of my concerns!! Completing a full lap without a pit-stop will be a result!

Good luck chaps.

I remember when it was just Tommy Entwistle out there with a Tiv.

Has anyone got a timetable of classic TVRs racing/practicing whether at weekends or midweek, at circuits in the midlands area for the rest of the season?
Thanks

[davegt6]

As entries for a race meeting usually close a couple of weeks before the meeting I'm not sure that you are going to be able to get a long term view of race entries. You could search the websites of the various clubs that are likely to attract classic TVRs to see what meetings are coming up and then check nearer the dates to see what has been entered.

The best thing to do is to look at the championships that the TVRs run in and see when they are at Donington, Silverstone etc. The Granturas run in Masters, Equipe GTS, Thoroughbreds and the 3000Ms and Taimars run in CSCC.

I'd check out the Silverstone Classic on 22/24 July and Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone in mid August. Masters are also at Donington 3/4 Sept
