The 24 hour race at Daytona this weekend got me thinking.
It seems that Sebring is usually mentioned as the endurance testing grounds
for Triumphs (at least here in the U.S)... lots of action there with a few
different TR models.
I am aware of some attempts by the factory teams to complete the 24 hours
of LeMans. (early years)
Anyway, anyone have any insight as to who and what car might hold the
(Triumph) record for most distance covered in a competition event?
Sebring, Daytona, LeMans, Lemons? I know some of our own FoT guys did well
in the late 50's at Sebring...I remember hearing of a guy driving a TR3 for
over 11 hours in that event (There are some great photos of this group on
our own FoT website)
This is just for fun ....Remember, It gets really cold here in Chicago and
I need an interesting FoT topic.
Whats the longest you have driven a Triumph in competition?
