Speedwell are you still with the team or have you finished there??
Drop me a line off list if you have left, I too was involved (from a distance) with the team but more so with the design and so on with RTN......
Mark what did you do.
I was based at RTN for 8 months would i have seen you?
Long story but i have left the team to design race cars again, i cant talk about what ones or for people i cant mention. LOL

Thanks for all your comments.
I was only involved with the team since november last year and since then have always tried to explain to many a spectator about the Bentleys background. If i had a pound for everyone who said it was just an audi with a roof, i would be able to buy everyone on this forum a drink and be able to do that for a week! The Bentley was designed in this country and all parts were manufactured in this country. The engine was built by the same factory as the audis however was a bespoke engine designed for the car. all other parts including electronics were unique to the car. It was a car to be proud of.
Thanks

Just a short thank you to all those British who came to Le Mans this year and supported Bentley to a 1 - 2 victory.
I was a Data Engineer for the No 8 car for the last 8 months. It was my first year on the otherside of the fence working on a team so the first since 1999 to see the track sober.
As usual there were the highs and lows. I wont forget the faces of some of the locals driving around town with all the radio gear on checking the reception back to the pits before driving down the mulsanne. Unfortunately No 8 had a few problems in the race which meant we caught up then fell back. but ill never forget it.
Looks like next year will be back getting drunk again on the other side of the fence. If you see a guy wearing a green bentley shirt with a drink might be me. I cant wait till next year for the week away in the campsite talking rubbish as the night goes on with your best mates away from everything relaxing. oh and theres a race going on.
Thanks again for all the support it didnt go un-noticed
David
