Heard the one about TVR winning Le Mans? Come the middle of June, it might not seem like such a joke. The TVR name is emblazoned across an endurance racing car once again, and it could give Toyota a bit of a fright at this year"s Le Mans 24 Hours. Now, before you get too excited, this isn"t TVR sticking a monstrous wing and a snow-plough splitter on a new Griffith and sending it to war. Instead, it"s TVR joining forces with Rebellion Racing, a Le Mans regular, and emblazoning its name across the team"s LMP1 entry, pictured above. But the LMP1" bit is key to the car"s potential upset. As of this year, Toyota is the sole manufacturer entry in endurance racing"s top category, and given its reliability woes in recent years, outright victory while arguably quite probable isn"t a given.
