JMW
Jim McWhirter
“I think we’re in with a shout, the driving squad stands up well to anything else out there and the car has proved it can do it too.”
Rob Bell
“I’d love to say that we’ll be right up there but the Porsches are so fast……..
“Our (Dunlop) tyres will be good though and that could be crucial with the new rules.

Leo Mansell
“This is very cool – I absolutely cannot wait to get out on track.

Roman Rusinov

Pierre Ehret
