[LM24] Gulf Racing at Le Mans 2002

[rdjones]

I have just found this story at dailysportcar.com:-

Marc Laffeas reports from France that Gulf should be back at Le Mans this year, with their colours on a Freisinger Porsche GT3-RS.

Chad McQueen will be in the seat of this newly Gulf-liveried entry. He's the son of Steve McQueen of course, and will also take part in the 2002 edition of the Le Mans Classic event in September, with a Porsche 917 driven by his father in the early seventies.

Chad is actually recovering from a broken leg, but is now confident of his involvement in the great race.

Luc Besson is of course making a film during / after the race this year, which is a neat 'coincidence' as Chad's father was such a key part of the classic 1971 film.

Now that will be a sight to see at Le Mans in June
