Michael Bentwood

The Nissan showed quite well particularly at the last round at Silverstone where Michael competed for the lead against Ben Collins in the Porsche and Tim Mullen in the Ferrari.

That year he also drove in the Britcar 24 Hour race at Silverstone Circuit in a Lotus Elise Sport but the car proved very unreliable.

He stayed with an Aston Martin DBRS9 in 2008 for the 22GT Racing Team with a hard-fought pole position against Allan Simonsen at Thruxton and a number of podium finishes, again sharing the car with Tom Alexander, Adrian Wilmot and Andy Jenkinson.

In the same year, he also worked with Prodrive developing the latest Traction Control software for their GT3 customer cars with Richard Groundsell and drove at Classic Le Mans with Tom Alexander in a very rare 1959 DB4 GT.

He also drove at the Merdeka millennium 12-hour race at the Sepang F1 circuit again in an Aston Martin DBRS9 with drivers Frank Yu and Alain Li.
