Bentley
Continental GT3 & 'Blower'
Two
generations of Bentley racers are uniting to celebrate a strong year of
motorsport, as the Continental GT3 won two major international GT championship
titles in 2015.
Of
course the 'Blower' had its share of success as well with its 1930 Le Mans win,
but the biggest thing here was actually getting two cars together separated by
more than eight decades, yet united by Bentley's "passion for
competition". The two cars have found themselves at the BRDC (British
Racing Drivers' Club), one of the most exclusive clubs in all of motor racing
as it has only 800 members.
For
the Continental GT3, 2015 has marked only its second year in GT racing. Even
so, while competing on four continents, the car managed to secure several pole
positions, race wins, podiums and even won the Blancpain Sprint Series and GT
Asia Series Championships.
Other
highlights include the 24 Hours of Spa, where the Continental GT3 had its best
ever finish, and the four-car assault on the Nurburgring 24 Hours and the
completion of the Bathurst 12 Hours.
