Bentley to make Bathurst return
Bentley Team M-Sport has confirmed it will bring two cars back to the Bathurst 12 Hour next February, with the preliminary entry list now at 58 cars.
#10 Bentley Team M-Sport Bentley Continental GT3: Steven Kane, Guys Smith, Matt Bell
Herb Powell
The works Bentley squad has fielded cars at the 12 Hour for the last two years running, and will make it three in a row with a pair of Continental GT3s at next year’s race.
The deal could give Matt Bell, Steven Kane and Guy Smith the chance to defend their podium finish from 2016, although the driver line-up across the two cars is yet to be confirmed.
The Bentley entry caps off a 58-car preliminary field, 35 of which are GT3 cars. That includes factory-backed and top privateer efforts from the likes of Porsche, Nissan, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, McLaren, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.
There are also eight cars confirmed for the GT4 class, with Aston Martin, Porsche, Lotus, KTM, and McLaren all set to be represented.
Entries for the 2016 Bathurst 12 Hour will close on December 16.
