Timothy Webber and the much-undervalued Nigel Bennett are ... very good as the heads of security from Sunways and Digicorp. Bennett especially shines in his role with just the right amount of arrogance to make you not trust him in the slightest.

From Derby - the home of Rolls Royce Motor Cars - Bennett first became involved in motor racing as an engineer with the European Division of Firestone tires in 1968 - working mainly with Team Lotus. The US tyremaker pulled out of Grand Prix racing at the end of the 1974 season and Bennett went to Hesketh for a short period before joining Team Lotus in 1975. He was chief race engineer with the team until 1979 when he and Ralph Bellamy were asked by Mo Nunn of Team Ensign to design a car for him. The team had found backing from Unipart and would hire Clay Regazzoni as the driver. The Ensign N180 was quite competitive but Regazzoni crashed at Long Beach and suffered serious back injuries. Bennett stayed on with the team until it was merged with Theodore at the end of 1982.
