The Yorkshireman – a Lister winner last year at Croft – could, in theory, still occupy the seat of a Westward Panoz at Donington Park on April 14, as the Brno FIA GT race is on Monday April 16. That would leave little time to learn the Brno track though. Richard Dean was unavailable for comment.<BR> <BR> Julian Bailey now seems to have a very full programme for 2001: the full FIA series, plus the MG at Le Mans.<BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
