Bruichladdich Racing

Tim Greaves, a shareholder of the Bruichladdich Distillery, and fan of Radical SR9 racecars now has his own sportscar team which will drive under the name Team Bruichladdich Radical banner. The Bruichladdich car will appear in this year's Le Mans Series from the next round, at the Nurburgring in Germany this weekend from 15-16 July. Tim Greaves will share driving duties with Stuart Moseley.

Here a quote from the crash.net website: "A second Radical SR9 will appear in this year's Le Mans Series from the next round, at the Nurburgring this weekend [15-16 July], following marque fan Tim Greaves decision to follow Martin Short's Rollcentre Racing into battle.

The immediate potential shown by Short's small team and its SR9 prompted Greaves, who has owned a version of every Radical built, to invest in the British company's first Le Mans-spec prototype, which he will campaign under the Team Bruichladdich Radical banner.

The somewhat tongue-twister name - Bruichladdich is actually pronounced 'brook-laddie' - stems from Greaves' other enterprise, a whisky distillery on the Hebridean island of Islay distillery, while the SR9, the second to roll off the production line, maintains the owner-driver's record of marque ownership, having started with Clubsport chassis number eight in 1998. Such is his involvement with Radical, Greaves has also invested in the company, providing the funding for the development of the SR3 and expansion into its current premises."
