Rollcentre's First Le Mans

Introduction
dailysportscar is about to cover the exploits of this remarkable team (on these pages), as Martin Short and his talented crew, supported by X-Markets Deutsche Bank and the Cobra Group, take on the challenge of Rollcentre's first Le Mans 24 Hours - with an LMP1 prototype, of all things.

But this is the team that already has two top five finishes behind it with this car - in the Sebring 12 Hours and the Monza 1000 kms. "Anything could happen at Le Mans," predicts Martin Short. If effort and application are any guide, his Dallara Judd should be at least as effective as it has been in the two races undertaken so far.

So Rollcentre has already become a major talking point in endurance sportscar racing in 2004: we have no doubt that Martin Short, Joao Barbosa and Rob Barff, plus all the support staff, will be adding to the legend that is Le Mans in the next few days.
