The TVR Tuscan Challenge is a one-make series dedicated to the second incarnation of the TVR Tuscan sports car (developed specifically for the series), and takes place throughout the United Kingdom. Inaugurated in 1989, its high power-to-weight ratio, capability of reaching 190 mph (310 km/h) and loud engine noise, combined with close racing in a field consisting of over 30 cars at its peak, made the series become, at the time, the premier one-make series in the UK with an extensive TV coverage; over the years, many drivers who competed in the series moved on in major championship series and many notable drivers have guest driven in a race. The company underwent management changes in 2005, and the TVR Tuscan Challenge was merged with its owner club's series, which has been reformatted to allow for all TVR models.
This version of the Tuscan is not to be confused with either the earlier V8/6 model or the later roadgoing Speed 6 version.
