Chevron GR8 Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Just thought you would be interested to hear Chevron Racing Cars Ltd will be running a new Racing Car series together with the BARC in 2010 called the Chevron GR8 Challenge. A Chevron B8 styled car with a V8 engine for all you TVR Tuscan racers who are pining away! It will have a two sprint race format for seniors 28yrs+ & juniors 17-28yrs with individual & team scores to count. Hope you like the idea.

More details about the car? Do you have something like an artist impression?

Curious about the way B8 classic lines can be re-interpreted some 40 years later. Good luck, anyway!

Chevron Racing Cars Ltd. website claims to make Chevron B8s from teh original steel, using the old style welding...

So I bet it's a B8 with a V8...

Chevron-Chevrolet may sound confusing

Whilst only 7 cars were racing yesterday (out of a reported 10 built so far) they look great and what I saw of the racing they were looking good, Hope they manage to build up to a full grid as that would be something to see and hear
