THE TVR350R CUP
Discussion
Speedy - I think you mean 'Rod' not 'Rob'! (Unless 'Rob' is a p1ss-take, in which case, carry on!!)
Those 350R 'photos' are photoshop mock ups done (very well) by a Pistonheads member and not of the actual race car. I believe that even those people interested in placing an order for the car haven't seen a photo, let alone the actual car.
The engine is the TVR AJP Speed Six. BHP - don't know. Weight, don't know.
The T350 can also run in Class B of the Tuscan Challenge. Given that it needs to be competitive against the 'class A' Tuscan, it would need around 450bhp and weigh 850kg. It would have some aerodynamic advantages over the Tuscan though.
We do know that in GT Cup form the 350 will be slower than the one eligible for the Tuscan Challenge (which presumably will be in for a name change in due course?). But then the current Tuscan Challenge cars are quicker than all the GT Cup cars
29, sorry, 220 will no doubt be along shortly with his explanation as to why he/Colin Blower are not running TVR's in the GTs next year.

It looks the business I wonder what it weighs ? what engine is it ? and what BHP ?
ROD why did you not run these ?
220 Well, we did try to get TVR to develop it for 2003 GT cup, but, time waits for no man, so we spent our great wad of cash elsewhere.
To be fair, we already had doubts about how the car would fit with the P/W ratio's and TVR had indicated that they may run it in Tuscans, where they could develop the car at a pace that suited TVR. I think that's still the way they will go, as it's not ready for GT cup, nor the P/W ratio regs. Mind you, they could strip it right down, cut the engine in half, slap a
off turbo on it,a set of slicks, and wider arches, brakes, etc etc, and a ton of downforce,then produce it as a road car, and sell it at £29995 and bingo, two birds with one stone.
Ah,!! sorry, forgot, VX have already done it, and the road version is £5k cheaper
