Hi James,

Thanks for that.

It's great that we (at Insane Racing) can help new people enter into the TVR Tuscan Challenge, and in addition, help someone who has obvious driving talent, to fulfill a racing dream. Be great to be get Mark out again at C/Combe.

C U all there.

If you need to use PH as leverage in negotiations drop me a line. I could enhance their exposure online as well as on the track.

Mark is on the front page of the South Wales Evening Post. All Welsh TVR owners are welcome at Combe. Mark will also be in the October edition of FHM.

It is looking very unlikely that Mark will be out at Brands Hatch. If you can help in any way. Please e-mail Mark at tuscan28@aol.com

Hi v8TVR, we had an agreement with a sponsor at Castle Combe. We are still working on finding a new one. We were late in the day out, and have to find £4000 each round. Steve and Wayne have bent over backwards to help. Osbourns and FHM helped out at Rockingham but we are still owed money from Combe.

regards

James

It will be an absolute disaster if Mark cannot get out there, he is showing great promise for the very very near future.
Hate to see talanted people held back like this

The situation is not very bright at the moment. I have had to advise Steve and Wayne to take a pay driver for the Brands race. This is not new in motor racing; last year the Eclipse team had to accept another offer while Ben and Shane sat out. Now look at Eclipse! My team will be there and we are activly seeking finance to get out.

Any offers of help would be appreciated.
