STRONG CHALLENGE FOR BENTLEY TEAM ABSOLUTE AT LIME ROCK

Bentley Team Absolute's Adderly Fong and factory 'Bentley Boy' Vince Abril continued their strong form in the Pirelli World Challenge SprintX Championship at Connecticut's Lime Rock Park last weekend. The duo equalled their best result of the championship with a fourth place finish in Saturday's 60-minute race, repeating the same result they scored the previous weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.

Hong Kong-based Fong and Monaco's Abril had also looked set for a strong result in the opening race on Friday before being spun by another car that was actually two laps down. Fong and Abril fought back to score a ninth place finished in the opening race on Friday

In the Pro/Am class, Yufeng Luo and Bentley newcomer Andre Couto finished sixth and fifth in the two races at Lime Rock aboard the No. 78 entry.

Luo was looking set for his third podium finish in three race weekends before being handed a penalty for contact while running second in Saturday's race. Luo currently sites in third place in the Pro/Am points with five races remaining.
