I think they also ran a yellow and blue 911 at Le Mans and Micheal Caine or Ray Bellm had something to do with it ?

He raced a private Westward Racing / Lanesra Panoz at the 2001 ELMS round at Most in red Coca Cola livery, partnered by Enge. Westward had also a yellow Panoz running, though they didn’t made it to the Sarthe.

If he is 22 now , that means he was only 17 when he drove that Panoz LMP1 ..... that must some kind of a record for a LMP1 driver !!!

Lanesra Racing was so named due to the team owner's obsession with a certain football team - he used its name backwards!
