Title: TF Racing?
Post by: ACW270 on Friday,May 22, 2020, 03:00:32 AM

Dear All.  Have any of you heard of 'TF Racing', as written on the rocker cover of a Renault cross-flow engine in a 1969 Europa S2?  A google search came up with TF Sport who are involved in Renault Sport racing but an email to them got no response.

There is this place https://www.tfsuspension.com (https://www.tfsuspension.com) They started in 1972. So, maybe?

Thank you, Kendo.  A bit of a long shot but I will certainly look into it.

It might just be someone's name and not a business sponsor.  I did a quick google image search to see if I could match the distinctive font. No luck but it did throw up  "Team Foley" which is a privateer racing V8 Touring Cars.

So.... in the absence of real facts, how about "Team Fittipaldi" owned/drove your car ?   ;)

"Team Ferrari"? It's the car they bought to figure out how they were going round corners so quickly.... ;)
