Le Mans winner Wallace enjoys Revolution test
Le Mans 24 Hours winner Andy Wallace has given the Revolution A-one one-make sportscar his seal of approval after a try-out at Brands Hatch last month.
Wallace, who won Le Mans with Jaguar in 1988, was asked to drive the Ford-powered baby LMP car by Revolution boss
Phil Abbott. He previously undertook early testing on the Radical RXC and raced both an SR3 and an SR8 for Abbott.
“I know Phil of old and he was interested to see what I thought about the car,” said Wallace. “The thing you notice straight away is that it’s very easy to drive and user-friendly.
“It’s not pitch-sensitive aerodynamically and doesn’t want to spit you off the track. It all feels very intuitive.
“It’s got a lot of downforce and a lot of power, so it would be nice to drive it somewhere like Silverstone where it can stretch its legs.”
Wallace hasn’t ruled out racing the car in the Revolution UK Trophy class of the Sports Prototype Cup, which is due to kick off at Brands on 1 August. But he stressed that his commitments with Bugatti, for which he demos cars in his role as ‘official driver’, are likely to get in the way.
