In Sprint I read that Synergy Motorsport have acquired the two factory Le Mans cars, so I assume these are the De Walt cars for want of a better description? In the same article it says these are to be re-liveried as CDL Synergy cars and hopefully entered for Le Mans in 2004. So that's 2 cars then, but I assume that the factory and Richard Salisbury / DeWalt will also be entering a couple of cars, so does that suggest there will be two teams of TVRs racing at Le mans this year?

If Amanda Stretton is still racing the Sagaris as was mentioned before that'll be 3 TVRs - assuming they qualify that is...

I think it would be safe to assume the Two ex Dewalt cars, now Synergy Motorsport will be the only TVR entry for Le Mans, if they recieve an invite from ACO.

I do not belive there are any other teams/T400R's hinting about doing Le Mans. I may be wrong..

Looking at the TVRCC the ladies aren't racing a Sagaris as I thought, as they've taken a Synergy T400 to Sebring.

Remembered Amanda Stretton saying at MPH03 she was taking the Sagaris, and that we was proud to be the first woman at Le Mans for X years... (Strange since Vanina Ickx drove there last year)

So from that I gather the Synergy cars will receive the surport of the factory guys? Well, I assume TVR are going to LeMans this year, after all Mike Williams(?) announced plans to take make arrangements for a group of enthusiasts to fly over with the Blackpool chaps in Sprint! Rich...

I've spoken to Bert at Synergy and he'd like to bring the two cars along to PistonFest a couple of weeks after Le Mans

Have the ACO formally invited TVR as yet though?
