The TVR Car Club is excited and proud that they may soon be featuring in the Guinness Book of World Records. The record took place at Rockingham Motor Speedway club in August where TVR was celebrating its 60th anniversary.
The world record they are hoping to have broken is for the largest number of single marquee cars ever assembled in a continuous line. 551 cars set off from the start line which was in the parking area, through a tunnel, into the infield and then onto the bowl before going back through the paddock and finishing off where they started in the parking area. The results are yet to be confirmed by the Guinness World Records but TVR remain positive as they say that they stuck to the Guinness regulations which means that there shouldn’t be any queries.
The attempt to get into the record books took place on the weekend of the 4th August where TVR was celebrating the 60th anniversary of Trevor Wilkinson founding Trevcar Motors which was the birth of TVR. The Northamptonshire circuit boasted track day sessions, display cars, racing and much more.
The day was enjoyed by all car enthusiasts, not just TVR Car Club Members and drivers. There was a wide range of activities taking place to suit all tastes from those who wanted to watch the racing to those who were looking for cheap classic car insurance. The TVR Car Club was founded in London in 1962 by a small group of TVR fans and has since grown to become one of the premier one – marquee car clubs in the UK with over 7000 members and other affiliated clubs around the world. The club aims to promote all things TVR from the earliest models made to cheap classic car insurance.
