Bentley Driver line up!!!

[williamp]

Autosport report that one of the bentleys will be driven by Capello, Kristensen and Brit Guy Smith, with Herbert and two (unannounced) in the second car..


Excellent!!!!!!!!!

I know the bentley is just a re-badged Audi, but would'nt it be great if the second car had three birtish drivers..

(It won't, of course because they will want a US driver to satisfy the US market)

And as there's no factory Audi's (Team Goh, Champion racing and Audi UK) so Bentley could win.

They have to beast MG first, though...

Isnt there going to be 3 Bentleys this year.
Just thought i had heard/read that somewhere.

no just the two... they were looking at 3 cars but settled on 2 for some strange reason, its not as if they didn't have every top line driver queing up for the only works cars at le mans in '03

Sounds great, I'm getting a bit excited about it now - better get my flag looked out !

Did read somewhere that they where looking at Irvine and/or Mcnish to drive with Herbert. But still think that Audi should enter at least 2 cars, this is meant to be a race after all, perhaps they are worried it may loose to the Bentley(me thinks it's more to do with running to big teams, after all one 1 Bentley ran last year if I remember????)

Come on guys, give them some support, THE Bentley is NOT a rebadged Audi. The engine follows new rules, the aero/tyre package is different and after all it is designed, built and run by a UK company!

Great line up too, can't wait.

Bloody marvelous, the first year in 3 I can't make it and it looks like the racing will be more exciting this year.
Christ I'm getting bitter with age!

...Sorry. Of course its no a re-badged Audi. But the 1999 Audi coupe and the Bentley do look very similar. And it has an Aidu engine.

Now the MG. That's an all British effot (apart from the US entered MG!)

And what about the Prodrive Ferrari!!!

And the Morgan lapping quicker then BOTH the 360 MODENA'S.


Ahh, happy, happy memories. Roll on 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!
