'''Lee Bentham''' (born July 27, 1970) is a [[Canada|Canadian]] former racing driver from [[Richmond Hill, Ontario]]. In 1990 and 1992 he competed in the [[Formula K]] [[karting]] World Championship series. He moved to cars in the [[Toyota Atlantic]] series in 1995 in a successful partial-season program that managed to place Bentham on the podium twice and finished 8th in points. The following year Bentham captured 7 podiums and was the series runner-up. 1997 was less successful as he only finished 5th in series points. He also competed for Forsythe Racing in the [[Indy Lights]] series [[1997 in Indy Lights|that season]] and won on the oval at [[Gateway International Raceway]] and finished 5th in points. 1998 was Bentham's breakout year as he captured two wins on his way to the Toyota Atlantic championship for [[Forsythe Championship Racing]]. 1999 was his final year of top-level racing and was another year in Atlantics where he won a single race and finished 6th in points. Bentham is currently a driver development coach for Forsythe's effort in the Atlantic series. |
