Team RLR is based in Bolton, Lancashire and is an all-British squad led by team principal Nick Reynolds.
Its home city of Bolton already has strong links with Le Mans, having been twinned with the French city since 1973, and Team RLR wants to use this unique link to generate support locally as it takes on the challenge of endurance racing events across Europe.
