Not sure how much interest it will be to most on here, but thought I'd post this anyway...

as TVR 'returned to racing' at Le Mans this year some of us got to have our TVRs in the drivers parade.

was great fun and I have some videos (360cam) and a timelapse/hyperlapse of the trip there and back on my youtube channel

Hopefully some of you will enjoy seeing them and hearing some revved TVRs.

Was my first time in the parade, glad we were well recived and I must admit (as you can tell in my videos) I was doing my best to please the crowds with plenty of revs. Made easier by the noise level my car produces.

I agree re the 'tat' I'm not sure what they were throwing but seemed to be 'cheap promotional material' but one mans tat is another mans gold?

That is my only experience of the 24 hour but have been to the classic before and really enjoyed that.

In my case it was TVR that sent out the invite to join as part of their 'return to LeMans Racing' was a post on facebook that invited TVRCC members to apply for a place, we had to send details of ours cars and they choose from those, I'm not sure how many applied or how many places there were, but I was definitely glad to be offered a place, something not to be turned down IMHO.

Was good to see the new TVR Griffith and meet Les Edgar, as well as see the Rebellion Racing team.
