James Weaver did initial shake down runs at Monza over the last few days and the car ran reliably.
A few names associated with Richard Lloyd's apex motorsport team campaigning the Bentley EXP Speed 8 include Andy Wallace, Stephane Ortelli and Johnny Mowlem. |

As long as his legs can hold up to it, I think he is an excellent choice for LeMans. He already has a win with the Mazda 87B car some years ago and his racing experience is easy to cite.

that car is to enter the new "Pregnant roller skate" class..
yukky in my view..allthough some of the lines are very nice the way the cockpit has been designed very aerodynamiclly really looks awfull..but I guess it will prove good on the long straights at le man. also this looks like an artists impression to me ..and they usually differ a fair bit to the final product. |

I want to see Derek Warwick come out of retirement & race it at Le Mans.
I say: Weaver, Herbert, Reid, Warwick, J.Davies, & Westwood |
