According to the Goodwood Drivers' A-Z, Vern Schuppan will the driving the Tiger in the TT. It ran well in the Donington Revival meeting - see Gentlemen Drivers' Over 3 Litre race qualification page of the following download:

Tony showed me the new stub axles he's had made of an unobtanium/fairy dust alloy, whatever breaks next it won't be the stub axles...
Unfortunately Neil Merry wasn't so lucky in the above race, he discovered his tank wasn't big enough for the full 2 hours' duration and no refuelling allowed in the pitlane.

I have read the race report and who finshed in the top 3 etc.. i saw a video of the first lap.. the LM Tiger looked to be about 6-8 from the rear.. where did it finish? what was its best lap.. and in general how did it fare?
