I also see from the Motorsport News that they are chasing several ex F1 drivers including - Herbert, Blundell, Brundle, McNish and Letho, it looks like the current will have quite a job to keep there drives next season, but why is beyond me as over the last two years they have done a good job.........

Herbert, Blundell, Brundle, McNish and Lehto sounds damn fine to me, provided (yawn, yawn) that Andy Wallace joins them!! |

Having just read DSC is sounds like Wallace, van Poole, Smith and Leitzinger are all out contract and may not be retained - I for one if I was sent up a sportscar team for an assult on Le Mans the first person I would sign would be Andy Wallace, as he is one the best sportcar drivers out there.

Andy, Butch, maybe James... It would be the Dyson Bentley!
(Or maybe Andy already has a seat lined up next year in their MG?) |

Don't forget Guy Smith! He gave up a drive this year to the Bentley reserve, the least they could do is give him a seat next year. Good to see they are committed though, if Brundle can be persuaded back they'd have no problem winning.
