The most successful of the 2 Group 44 TR8s has come up for sale again 4 years after Bob Tullius sold it. This fabulous looking car was raced by Group 44 in 1979 -1981 and was virtually unbeatable in its class in the Trans Am and then the IMSA series beating the Corvettes, Camaros and Porsche RSR's in the process.Its 2 finest results were 7th o/a 1st in class 1979 Watkins Glen 6 hrs and 6th o/a 1st in class 1980 Sebring 12 hrs.

 

I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours talking to Bob in 2009 at the aircraft hangar where he keeps all his vintage aeroplanes in Sebring and he told me that of all the cars he raced in his long career his favourite was the TR8.
