Bentley fixes return date

July 7, 2014

Bentley will make its return to international sports car racing this December, in the Gulf 12 Hours at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit.

The event, made up of two six-hour races, has been set for the debut of the new Bentley Continental GT3 race car developed in conjunction with rally specialist M-Sport.

The event will be the first international sports car start for a Bentley since its 2003 Le Mans 24 Hours victory with the Speed 8 coupé.

The race will be a prelude to a full campaign in the 2014 Blancpain Endurance Series in Europe, as the new racer is developed for sale to customers.
