Lehto's experience with the BMW and other forms of racing should give the Cad team a chance to learn what it must be like to actually drive a world beating racecar. If he can translate this feeling and information back to the engineers he can accelerate their production. He is also a good racer and could be an nice advantage for the team.

Another bullet in the Cadillac chamber. This is good news for anyone who doesn't want to see another Audi whitewash. Of course, the car looks so much like an Audi, things won't appear any different even if Caddy wins! But at least this give them a better chance to get into the fight.

Lehto's always been one of my favorite drivers from F1 to CART to Sportscars. Remember those laps he did at night in the BMW at LeMans.
Let's go Caddy, It's been a long time since I Rock n Rolled |

Maybe the second Caddy will now be competitive. Look out Max and Wayne!
I'd like to see Caddy do well this year, although not as well as Panoz. Hope we have a really competitive field this year. |

The guy is a hugely underrated star.
I remember so well watching him in FF2000 and F3 - I've never seen anyone slide a FF or F3 car around corners like he did. He certainly impressed me far more in those days than Hakkinen (a year or so later). And then there was Le Mans 1995....... Mr. Jarvilehto's involvement at Le Mans is a plus for all of us. |
