In the TVR camp you regularly see a wide range of cars from Vixens through to Chimaeras, Cerberas and now the occasional Tuscan. Most TVRs compete in absolutely standard condition, with no special preparation required. There are various prizes at each event, but the main reason to come along is that it gives you a chance to drive as fast as you dare without any worry about traffic jams, speed limits, flashing blue lights or some other idiot pushing you off the road. The number of TVRs competing has increased substantially in recent years and TVR is now one of the best represented marques. It really is very easy to join in and new competitors are always welcome.
Some events take place on race circuits, which are similar to the environment found at track days.
These have some corners with nice big run-off areas where it is safe to be a complete hooligan, and some where a little more discretion is required. Whatever the type of course, you are alone on the track so there is no danger of colliding with another car. Rescue crews and paramedics are present at all events but have a very boring job, you simply don't see people getting hurt. Having said that, any time you drive your car there is the possibility of damage. Your normal road insurance will not cover you during competitions, but you can arrange specialist competition insurance from around 40 per day.
