Chadwick, Powell and Wadoux to test Richard Mille Racing LMP2 car in Bahrain
British racing drivers Jamie Chadwick and Alice Powell plus French driver Lilou Wadoux will test the Richard Mille Racing Team LMP2 Oreca at the Bahrain Rookie Test on Sunday 7 November.
Chadwick (23) has just been named the 2021 W Series Champion, and Powell (28) also races in the all-women racing series alongside Chadwick who both reside in the UK. Powell finished as this year's W Series runner-up, with both females picking up their 2021 trophies at COTA, Austin, last weekend. French driver Lilou Wadoux (20), who recently finished third in the Alpine Elf Europa Cup, will also test the team's Oreca 07 Gibson in Bahrain.
