Welcome to the TVR Tuscan Challenge, sponsored by Gran Turismo! In this monthly series, we will be racing the TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00 around Gran Turismo's original circuits to fall in line with the Tuscan Challenge back on Gran Turismo 3. If you are a fan of one-make racing, or are big on nostalgia, then this series is right for you! If not, you can still feel the adrenaline of throwing this sports car around corners quickly while having fun. Events will take place on the third Friday of every month.
