Some people, such as skinny, Mike Hall, came from different backgrounds (road racing, long distance mountain biking), so it's not the only way, but for the typical UK rider wanting to do it, I agree, Audax would be the best starting point. The UK audax scene is far superior to that anywhere else, even in France

Absolutely this. A lot of the people doing TCR are familiar names from Audax, it's the perfect training framework for this kind of riding as you can use the support at controls to begin with and slowly ween yourself off that and be entirely self-sufficient.
