greaves_lemans_testday_2_8“This was a successful test for Greaves Motorsport today, we had a long list of things to get through and managed to complete our target despite the premature end to the day.

“Our partners, Nissan, Ligier and Dunlop made their usual significant contribution to the program, and all our drivers qualified for the race.

“We are looking forward to a few days off at the end of next week before Scrutineering and the run up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.”
