Bentley Boys Le Mans Return
From www.autosport.com
" Despite recent doubts over its racing future, the Bentley name will return to contest the Le Mans 24 Hours next year with a revised version of its EXP Speed 8 which finished on the podium at its first attempt in 2001. " More details in the article but it implies to me that Audi will be going for the Three-peat next year (alongside Bentley) but that Bentley will be the lead VW-Audi Group brand at Le Mans in 2003. |

I heard that the engine won't be ready until March and that the Bentley boys are looking for a podium this year and a win in 2003.
Great news though and I hope that next year was as thrilling to watch from home as this years race!!!! (sorry aysedasi!!) |
