I heard at Oulton that they will be Sagaris chassis with proper cage running the new TVRPOWER 4.5 Supersport Speed Six engine, and about 60k

mmm pity,

I prefer rules that say


Sag TVR/GTF based shell

std aero package ( rear wing and front splitter size)

min weight limit

TVR derived chassis

any motor with bhp limit

Dyno at races for max wheel bhp check.

1 hour pit stop race ( 1 or 2 drivers)


That gives everything we're after as max bhp min weight to give a bench mark, off the shelf cars for those with budget, build your own route for those with engineering skills, less budget.. and a higher profile for TVR..

It was just rumours at Oulton so don't take as 100%, probably best to speak to Dom

Dom has been looking at this, but as I understand it its not a Tuscan Challenge type thing but a new series.

As the challenge ran originally and as the Sag was planned.

Customer cars built by the factory (TVR / TVRPower)

I'd guess Danny/Craigs would be the only possible current car and even that might be dubious.

Hypothetical ATM but its being discvussed.

Does sound very exciting and great news for TVRPower especially if they are 100% racing TVRs.

And something for all TVR fans to get excited about, can't bloody wait.
