Last minute: Patrick Dempsey joins Le Mans Series!

We just received the confirmation: Patrick Dempsey, famous for acting Dr Shepherd in the soap Grey's Anatomy, will participate this week-end in the official Le Mans Series Tests on the Bugatti Circuit, joining Don Kinch on the Ferrari F430GT no. 78 from the Team Seattle - AE.

Racing with a Mazda RX-8 in Grand Am with his own team (Dempsey Racing), Patrick Dempsey will also race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2009 with the Team Seattle. The American team has been racing to collect funds for the Seattle Children's Hospital (particularly children suffering from heart disease) through different race competitions for 12 years. Come and see the Tests on the 25th and 26th of April at the Bugatti Circuit: the entrance is EUR10 or free if you already have your ticket for the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2009. The Team Seattle will be unquestionably the attraction of these Official Tests!
