As a young driver wanting to break into big time racing, I am in need of Sponsorship, management and Guidance. Coming from a single seater background, most manufacturers have such schemes. I feel that if TVR had such a scheme it would be more appealing for new drivers and help existing Tuscan Drivers in there careers. So do you feel that TVR Should give Tuscan Drivers a chance to experience their GT Cars, and offer help in moving up the ladder?

Having a prize of a test (or a race!) in a TVR in the British GT would be an excellent prize for the Tuscans, but as Ted said in this same topic in the Tuscan forum (Rob you bad lad ) as there are decent grids already, would TVR be interested in offering the prize?

Does the factory still build race Tuscans or do new drivers just buy up old cars and bring them up-to-date, if so how many 'unused' cars are out there?

I beleive that the factory still builds them to order! For this year I ran in an old car but maybee for next season invest in a nice new one!!

I still think that just because the series has big grids, you need to ofer a good prize! From a young drivers prespective the series isnt the way to go if you want to reach the dizzy heights of motor racing, maybee offering such a prize will attract younger stars of the future like formula Ford does ect?
