This Tiger raced in SCCA's 'B' Production class in 1965. It was campaigned by 'Sports Car Forum,' a dealership in Columbus, Ohio in a factory sponsored race program. The car was driven by 1964 SCCA National Champion, Don Sesslar.
The 1965 season was quite successful for this Tiger. Don Sesslar set the B-Production lap record at Mid-Ohio with a time faster than the existing lap record. He won National Points' races at VIR and Mid-Ohio. At season's end, he had earned 28 National Points giving it 3rd place in SCCA's Central Division. This was the most SCCA National points achieved by an Tiger in 1965. It qualified Sports Car Forum for their second consecutive National Run-offs in the Sunbeam Tiger.
The previous season, 1964, Sunbeam had hired Shelby American (who had previously helped create and engineer the Tier), to field the world's first Tiger race car. The Shelby Team Tiger was usually driven by Lew Spencer and, occasionally , by Ken Mile. Late in that season, Sunbeam transferred the Shelby Team Tiger to Sports Car Forum, who raced it several more times before rebuilding it into this configuration. much of the Shelby American Team Tiger still exists today in the #74 Sports Car Forum Tiger.
