Graham Abbott was the person probably knows most about these?

Darren Hobbs (ex TVR Head Designer and Tuscan Convertible Designer ) and Mike Vernon (TVR Race Engineer) are two key members of the project.

Video of ex stig driving one just dropped

I admire the way he adapts his driving style to the car and conditions - Not

What a tt

In the first half of the video he's in the car, with an exposed roll cage, with no helmet, tells you everything you need to know

I doubt that's going to be the only test drive we get to see, although I'm not sure who else would be offered it, hopefully Chris Harris or Catchpole, my personal preference would Jason Cammisa, but that will never happen

Watched the video, seems like it has far too much power than what the chassis can handle. I love the idea of a speed 12, but it’s a little pointless if you can’t utilise the power it has. Would be better with half the power, which would still provide a significant bhp/tonne.

I was chatting to some fellow TVR owners the other day and saying the same thing about the driving style.

Unfortunately I think he was driving poorly on purpose as displaying the car as an uncontrollable beast would get more viewers / clicks than actually trying to achieve a decent lap time.

Really unfortunate for Helical that this route was taken to chase content imo.
