TVR Returns to Motorsport With Rebellion

From Road & Track

After nearly 15 years off track, TVR will finally make its return to endurance racing, teaming up with WEC veterans at Rebellion Racing for the 2018-2019 super season.

TVR will collaborate with Rebellion Racing to field an LMP1 team, making its on-track debut this weekend at the WEC Prologue event at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France. TVR says working with Rebellion will gain them valuable knowledge which will trickle down into its production models.

“When we resurrected the TVR brand, we knew that we wanted to achieve a return to the race track," said TVR Chairman Les Edgar in a statement. "Our partnership with Rebellion Racing allows us to achieve that goal, while bringing about valuable operational and technical knowledge, which directly transfers to our road car operation and future racing activities."

This partnership will mean the first time the TVR brand has participated in Le Mans since 2005 with its Tuscan T400R. Recently, the company unveiled a new Griffith, the first new road car from the company since the Tuscan in 2001.
