For those that went to the Neil Garner Open Day last year at SN16 9SH you will know the format with traders and 130 + TVRs attending. This year's theme in the grand ring surrounded by over 20 TVR related stalls and trade stands will be the main theme of the day - 'TVR in Motorsport'. So we, the organisers are appealing to all of you race / track enthusiasts to 'come on down' and bring your beloved TVR car for all to admire.

Just as a teaser, this is Neil's personal race car (or more of a case of HOW it will look on the day). He is still adding 'more' finishing touches to his '4.8' Chim. For those that know the Britcar series you will note it is in the same colours as the Mosler that he race preps for all Britcar series.

More info on the event will be up-dated later in the month together with a new posting in the TVR events forum of who's coming

Watch this space as they say!

Cheers Paul

Excellent! I knew you wouldn't let us down!! After all, you 'just' wanna come and admire your old steering wheel again!!! LOL

Now, Christian, seriously - wants the chances, you could bring any of your racers with you, is it a possibility? Any chance that some one could get it/them towed down. We really want to show off some of the folks TVR race cars and dearly love to have one or two of yours there! And as for the 'NEW' Sag? Well of course we would love to see that there too.

Choices choices choices!!!

And in answer to your question..... Yes I believe so, ...... So let the games begin! Re the engine spec??? You will have to wait until next month.. Article on the 'toy' in Sprint next month. Shhhhh! Mum's the word!!

st my first TVR clash of the year!!
So the dilemma is i'm on track at Spa on the Sunday morning as pointed out above banghead
What time does the day start as i could go for a marathon TVR weekend with an early start on saturday to Neils followed with a blast to Spa for Sunday & Monday TD's?
Should be a good drive out as there will be 5 of us in convoy smile

Christian

Starting at 10am for non-traders. Traders from 8am giving them 2 hours max to set up. If you remember last year, it started to fold after 3pm. After the sound off of the loudest car on the day. We have told traders opening times are from 10am to 4pm. If it is cold, wet, it will finish early, but on the other hand if the sun is out and demand is high traders may well continue to trade nearer 4pm

Hope that helps.

Calm down, calm down....In fact the Spa week-end is the 24/25th MAY...The UK late spring bank holiday, so shouldn't be a clash.

I quite fancy getting it on the rolling road if it will be there?
