So two 356's with DDK connections.

Messrs Wright and Stephens with possible drives

Five 356's with British connections.

Who is the Wright in RSR?

So it's next week and two British based 356's

One in grid 2 and the other in grid 3

They should be two of the quickest 356's with a lap time in 2024 of 5 42

Interesting times
