New Griffith on track at Silverstone Classic 2018
TVR were delighted to be selected for the Supercar lineup at the Silverstone Classic weekend of action..
The display was not just a static lineup but one that saw the new Griffith take to the track for the Supercar Parade sessions on both Friday and Saturday, where accompanied by a 1965 Griffith and a stunning TVR Typhon all attracted great interest despite their time on track being heavily restricted.
Lined up two-by-two the cars headed onto the circuit for the parade however due to the level of traffic and safety rules applied, it resulted in little of the performance available being demonstrated thereby leaving much for a future event. There is however a short clip from inside the Griffith that can be viewed via this Link to youTube video and as seen from Trackside Shame about all the high fencing but that's Silverstone.
The TVR Car Club and many owner, driver / enthusiasts were also at the event, with an exceptional display of Heritage TVRs, a few of which can be seen in the images below.
For those interested in viewing the racing coverage, which may or may not include the parade lap sessions, the Silverstone Classic ITV4 highlights programme will air on Sunday 12 August at 17:45 (directly after live coverage of the British Touring Car Championship).
Repeats will additionally be shown:
Wednesday 15 August at 20:00
Saturday 18 August at 08:30
Saturday 15 September at 15:15
Plus the programme will be available on catch-up for 30 days after each transmission.
Finally, for a longer video clip from inside the Griffith click HERE to view on youTube although be warned, even edited down it was over 6 minutes for 2 laps – such was the pace!

Mumbai, 12th Sept: As the world looks to heavy industry to help drive emissions cuts, Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Ltd, Mahindra Heavy Engines Ltd have, today, pledged to put energy efficiency at the heart of their business growth strategies by joining EP100.
EP100 is a global collaborative initiative on energy productivity led by The Climate Group in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy. By setting ambitious targets and integrating energy efficiency into business strategy, EP100 members are driving clean tech innovation while delivering on emissions reduction goals. Today’s announcement comes just ahead of the Global Climate Action Summit (September 12-14), where Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group, will address leaders from business, states, regions and cities who will come together in San Francisco to “Take Ambition to the Next Level”.
Helen Clarkson, CEO, The Climate Group, said, “I am excited to see such a significant group of large energy users’ step up their efforts on energy efficiency. Lowering energy use in sectors like auto-manufacturing is an ambitious task, but the figures speak for themselves – making smarter use of energy boosts the bottom line and drives down greenhouse gas emissions. These announcements will inspire many more to come on board, accelerating a clean economy.”
Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Ltd has committed to doubling its energy productivity by 2041 (2016 baseline); Mahindra Heavy Engines Ltd by 2041 (2016 baseline). Mahindra & Mahindra and Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Ltd. are already members of EP100, having joined in 2016. Mahindra & Mahindra, a leader in the automotive and farming equipment sectors with operations spanning 21 industries in more than 100 countries, has, to date, invested INR 44.7 Rs Cr in 1,757 energy efficiency projects globally, saving 8.3 KWh, 67,655 tons of carbon emissions, and INR 66.7 Cr over the last four years.
Speaking about this commitment, Vijay Kalra, Chief of Manufacturing Operations – M&M, Auto Division said, “Operating in a country like India which is energy deficient, energy security and energy cost is of vital importance for sustainable business performance. By joining the EP100 program, we demonstrate our commitment to our employees, society and the nation at large. As we take aspirational targets to enhance energy productivity there will be innovation and development of new technologies that will change the way we live and work. It’s all about arriving at a win-win situation for all. Be it business, employees and society.”
In addition to this, Mahindra Electric, a Mahindra Group company, has signed EV100, a global initiative bringing together forward looking companies committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and making electric transport the new normal by 2030.
