BENTLEY TEAM M-SPORT READY FOR EUROPEAN RACING SEASON
Bentley’s motorsport season is set to
continue this weekend with the first European race of the 2015 season for
Bentley Team M-Sport. The pair of Continental GT3 race cars, a new favorite
amongst GT racing fans, will open their Blancpain Endurance Series at Monza in
a three-hour race on Sunday April 12th.
“We’re all looking forward to getting
our second Blancpain Endurance adventure underway,” said Brian Gush, Bentley’s
Director of Motorsports. “We start at Monza with all of the knowledge we’ve
acquired in the last twelve months, and so will be able to hit the ground
running. The competition will be fierce as we go up against some new GT3
entrants, and our focus will be scoring consistent points at every race so we
can challenge for the title.”
The #7 Continental GT3 retains its
all-British driver line-up of Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steven Kane, who
finished second in both the Teams’ and Drivers’ championship last year. The
sister #8 Continental GT3 welcomes an all-new European driving trio, with Andy
Soucek and Maximilian Buhk being joined by Maxime Soulet.
“Andy, Steven and I have spent weeks
together over the break, training hard to be ready for the new season,” said
Smith. “We’re really looking forward to getting started, given that we can now use
the experience of last year.”
Having started their season in February
with a fourth place finish at the gruelling 12 Hours of Bathurst in Australia,
and a second place finish in the Blancpain Endurance Series last year, Bentley
is looking to challenge for the title in its second season of GT3 racing. Bentley’s
progress throughout the race can be followed via the @BentleyComms Twitter feed, and
