This years Goodwood Festival of Speed featured a very special car. The Triumph TR8 Turbo Le Mans was entered into the 1980 24 Hours by ADA Engineering, Janspeed and TR Register. As a crucial part of both the history of Triumph and the TR Register car club, it was a truly momentous occasion to see this car driven publicly in anger for the first time in many years.
You can read the full story in TR Action Magazine FREE to all members of the TR Register and watch the very special video below.
Finally a massive thanks to the following volunteers who helped over the weekend: Alec and Diane Pringle, Rod Pearce, Mike Ellis and to Bert Smeets for allowing us such privileged access.

Blimey what memories ! I was one of the team to build the car at ADA. I'll swap a drive in my ERA for a go in the TR8.
