Mullen and Sugden in at Virgo
Le Mans Series GT2 championship leaders Virgo Motorsport have confirmed that Tim Mullen and Tim Sugden alongside their regular driver Rob Bell for their assault on this year's Le Mans 24 Hours race with the Ferrari F430 GT2
Both Mullen and Sugden are experienced Le Mans campaigners and have also driven for Virgo during the team's two and a half seasons in the LMS.
Bell's regular co-driver Gianmaria Bruni will switch to the Risi Competizione Ferrari for Le Mans.
Team principal Jim McWhirter said: "This is the third year of our Le Mans Series adventure. It is fitting that for our first attempt at the world famous 24 Hour Race we have brought together a top driver line up to compliment one of the best teams in the LMS paddock which consistently outperforms the opposition in pitstops, strategy and preparation.
"I want to pay tribute to Gimmi Bruni, who for contractual reasons, cannot be with us at Le Mans this year. He is a fantastic asset to the Team and I am sure he will give a hard time in opposition but at least he is in another Ferrari."
