What is that mess between the Tuscan R and the speed 12?
Why is TVR supporting both in British GT instead of focusing on one car??

TVR will support the Tuscan R and sell the Speed 12 to "Christof racing team", I suppose

NO WAY!!!!!
I didn't know that at all!!!
Why don't they just stuck to the speed six and make it reliable???
Is it a plan to make it to Le Mans?
Now I won't be sleeping much tonight

They have seen just how bullit proof the Viper GTS engines are(98/99/2000Le-Mans winners in GT2 &FIA GT CHAMPS 3 years running/ALMS champs/Daytona champs,etc,etc,)and have seen the light.See that MERC/LAMBO are going the V10 roote soon,so TVR might be on the right track at last,MARTIN.S will be so pleased,no more pools of oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christof, where did you hear that? Hope it wasn't me you were quoting 'cos it was only a rumour I'd heard.

Perhaps we'll find out something at the Autosport show tomorrow. It was a rumour I heard elsewhere from a couple of interesting sources...

Should have the first news on the site pretty early tomorrow if there are any major announcements. Pictures will follow later in the morning...

Don't worry Mike, I've heard it several times and I#ve thought its quite logical, if you compare the rsults of the TuscanR with the SP12...

But as Dave told us, we have to wait until tomorrow to know the truth...

i know for a fact that TVR is selling one or both of its Speed 12's (1 is going to Japan GT's)

There are going to be 3 Tuscans in the GTO class next year though!
