Thinking whilst lying in the bath lastnight. If I was a team manager of MG who would I like driving at Le Mans in 2002. I would have a 3 car team to tend to. However, because it's a British entry all drivers must be Brits. All things being equal. This is what I came up:

Car No 1 - Derek Bell, Brian Redman and Vic Elford.

Car No 2 - Johnny Herbert, Mark Blundell and Martin Brundel.

Car No 3 - Geoff Lees, Julian Bailey and John Fitzpatrick.

What would your choice be?

That a good one - what happened to Steve Soper and Anthony Reid?

Must the allocated drivers have "Sports Car Experience" and be "Alive & Kicking"?

 

[Paul Flint]

It's a dream team. Your thoughts on the subject only. I picked the cream of British Endurance Drivers.

What about drivers from an earlier era when people like Stirling Moss would drive in any type of race and not specialise.

OK, here goes:

#33. James Hunt - Jerry Flint - Derek Bell.

I'm only racing if we get the XPower girl support!

#34. McNish - Brundle - Blundell.

#35. Wallace - McNish - Redman.

Feel sorry for wee little Allan McNish having to do double stints in cars No 34 and 35. James Hunt is a wild card. However, he did contend a few Sportscars Races in the early to mid 1970's. Came a creditable 4th in 1974 driving a Gulf sponsored Mirage Cosworth at the Nurburgbring sharing with Mr Bell and the late Mike Hailwood this was a 1000kms.

Typo - CAR #34 McNish replaced with Jim Clark!
