Johny Herbert is rumoured to be joining Bentley, this is has to be great news for the Bentley team. I remember (very vaguely) Johny winning the Le Mans back in 1991, and I can only see this (if it happens) as being an excellent prospect for winning Le Mans. With the Speed 8 in near top form, and an excellent driver like Herbert, a win could realistically be on the cards.
I also read that Eddie Irvine turned down Bentley so that he could remain in F1, that’s okay with me, I never really rated the guy anyway…
Obviously, I am also backing MG. Hopefully they can also pull something out of the bag in June.
Questions for anyone out there….
Are any other F1 drivers on the cards to join Team Bentley?
Does anyone know of any sites that detail the Bentley Speed 8’s engine specs? ( no sarcasm about Audi comparisons please!)
