The reunion included personnel involved in all aspects of the team from engineers and mechanics to racing drivers and designers from an internationally famous racing team. TWR employed hundreds of people in Oxfordshire and beyond during their heyday and became synonymous with Jaguar after talking them to initial victory with the European Touring Car series with the XJS programme of the early-1980s. TWR followed that up with World Sportscar championship wins and victory at Le Mans in 1988 and 1990. Later, TWR developed road cars for Jaguar and eventually translated their racing car into supercar guise in the form of the XJR-15 leading to what was to become the fastest car in the world at the time, the Jaguar XJ220.\u00a0The TWR display at Blenheim found crowds buzzing excitedly over the legendary purple liveried XJR-9, the very car that won Le Mans in 1988 and Tom Walkinshaw\u2019s own Group A XJ-S V12 still resplendent in its white-on-green livery. One of the TWR XJ220s that raced at Le Mans in 1993 was also present, displayed at the show by owner Don Law.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_711057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-711057\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-711057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car-770x524.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car-293x199.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TWR-celebration-with-the-European-Touring-Car-Jaguar-XJS-and-XJ220-road-car-1400x952.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-711057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TWR celebration included the European Touring Car Jaguar XJS and XJ220 road car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Interviews and commentary were ongoing throughout the day and broadcast to the palace grounds via a huge TV wall, with expert presenter Wayne Scott interviewing visiting celebrities from the world of Jaguar.
