Bad News For TVR Fans

[GCerbera]

The final Le Mans Entry list appears to confirm that LNT didn't obtain even a
reserve entry for Le Mans


Huge impact for those of us going in our thousands to support TVR.

Just posted on another thread about this.
Quiet pissed off about this. Perhaps they just haven't appeared on the reserve list yet . I thought LNT are the closest to a factory backed Tiv team, with the latest version of the T400.
Seriously considering giving it a miss on principle next year if there is no show this .
Fecking french eh, my mum was right all them years ago, lovely country, shame about the people........

The Reserve List will only be added to if those (8?) on the list all manage to sneak into the race. Which is doubtful.

We'll all just have to cheer on the 2 Rollcentre cars.

Isn't Peninsula entering a car this year?

I got a letter from them indicating this, but perhaps it was just the LMES??

I suppose the bad outcome at Sebring had an impact on them not getting in. A shame but were a long way away yet, so fingers crossed... teams pull out etc.. must admit thought(hoped) they may get on the reserve list.

With all due respect to Peninsula, they are not able to put in the
resources and development that LNT had and the level of competitiveness
shows as a result.

I know Graham, all is not yet lost, they might make it in. At least there wil be a Tiv on the grid. We can then have a PH sweepstake to see how far it keeps going, not that it's unreliable, but as you said the funds aren't there.

Guys,

You should not have worried. The final fifty have just been announced and TVR will be present with RACESPORT PENINSULA TVR.

Sorry no disrespect to Racesport but i don`t think you will see their car any where near the lap times that the LNT cars are capable of. JMHO..........Martin

Any recent news on this problem? I am just about to book the last spaces to go to Le-Mans, I now feel a little rserved, but still got the gut rumbling feeling that I`ve got to take my new Tuscan for a blast with fellow TVR`s and other Pheers

[GCerbera]

Might be some news after this weekend as LNT are at Donington

[TV05CAN]

i think LNT are entering 2 TVR 400R's. If not then there's always Aston Martin with the DBR9's.
