It's a shame Bill Binnie and the Oreca saleen's have declined.

I knew of course that Oreca had dumped the Saleen project but does anybody know what Mr Binnie's "personal reasons" are?

I hope that she is soon on the road to recovery, and hopefully will look forward to Bill returning to Le Mans in 2009.
