When i did a project for the Bank once (yes a long time ago), i worked outside his office, in 3 months i saw him two or three times, no one ever knew what he actually did, i think the guys at le mans the year he won must have had similar feelings.

In the Netherlands we have Prince Pieter-Christiaan and Bernhard racing. Bernhard is also the owner of Circuit Zandvoort and raced a few years back in a LMP3 the Road to Le Mans race.

Prince Leopold von Bayern, a regular in touring car circles in the 70's-late 90's, often in BMWs- 3 appearances at Le Mans, with a best result of 4th in one of Walter Brun's Porsches in 1984. In more up-to-date news, WRT have confirmed the drivers for their ELMS car, and are hoping to get a LM start alongside their regular WEC entry. Second car is Robert Kubica/Louis Deletraz/Yifei Ye |

Maybe you're thinking of Malcolm McEacharn Mitchell-Thomson, the current Lord Selsdon, who I don"t think was ever a racing driver. |

The winning Ferrari belonged to Peter Mitchell Thomson, and was entered for him and Luigi Chinetti. During the race Selsdon declared himself unwell (a cognac hangover was rumoured) after around 72 minutes at the wheel only climbing into the car for the first time just after dawn on the Sunday. The heroic Chinetti drove more than 22 of the 24 hours, finishing so exhausted that he had to be lifted from the car. Selsdon died in February 1963, so can't have been in your offices in the eighties. His son and current Baron Selsdon, Malcolm born in 1937 was a director of Mildand Bank Group between 1976 and 1990. As you say, there was no internet in the early 80s. I have to thank the internet for this information as well as Quentin Spurring and Brian Laban's books on the great race. |

So, the moral of the story is clearly that you're not as old as you look Simon.......

GG and Marshall were saying on TWISC that the lack of a reserve list being announced is likely due to the fact that there aren't any.
It may well be that a few entries come out of the woodwork nearer the time. |

A few entries dropping out might inspire others to put something together.

I don't see any harm if a few don't make it. There still be plenty more ready to put something together when that happens. We'll see what happens

I'm sure there's a few that could come in from lesser series, providing they have enough budget that is.
