I suppose driving touring cars, sportscars and rally cars must get boring after a while.

The men in white coats are surely on their way to collect this man. I've checked the date and it isn't April 1st.

The 2008 Dakar on a quad?!

Good luck PB.

When I saw the title I thought this was about Patrick Watts, but then he's always been bonkers. :D

Absolutely mad. That makes him the 3rd BTCC driver of recent years to compete after Kurt Luby did it on a bike a few years back and Yvan did it this year. Good luck Phil. :up:

Looking at his newspage, I found this photo of him doing a road rally. Check out his terrified navigator! http://www.philbennett.com/news/default.asp?id=98

Good luck, Phil. I hope he'll be alright, the Dakar is not the safest motor racing event.

hope he does well but I would much prefer him to be in the BTCC - he is a very skillful driver and would do very well.

What is Phil doing these days? I recall he did some sportscar races last year but no more has reached my ears and eyes.

Very good luck to him anyway, I'll be rooting for him next year!

He seems to be doing everything and anything. Nurburgring endurance races, BritCar, LMES, GTs, road rallies, you name it.

Oh, you mean last season? Kruse did a couple of rounds, but PB wasn't involved in their campaign. He was driving for them in 2005.
