One of the largest grids of TVRs in almost 20 years was among the highlights of MotorSport Vision Racing’s rain-hit Donington Park meeting last weekend, as Bernie’s V8s commemorated the TVR Car Club’s 60-year anniversary with a special shootout race.
Alex Taylor’s Tuscan briefly led the 20-car TVR contest on wet tyres before being dispatched by slick-shod duo Michael Caine (Sagaris) and Ollie Reuben (Griffith) on a drying circuit. Caine, the 2000 champion of the popular TVR Tuscan Challenge series, later suffered brake failure but still limped home second, with Reuben upstaging more modern machinery to take a spectacular win in his nimble 1965 racer despite having a hair-raising moment of his own at Hollywood.
