Saw it at Donington for the British GT this month.

It's looking well

I always liked the original version better. But it is still a pretty car. Is it unrestored? It looks like it just ran a race, but not quite 24 hours.

I prefer this version with the wing endplates. Looks better than the older car IMO.

I'm going on 6'3" and am taller than almost anyone in my high school. I'm supposed to be 6'4" to 6'6".

Bring back the Bentley LMP1!!!

Saw it on Saturday along with the GT3 and the new road car. They started up the GT3 to drive it out of Think Tank, from what I heard it should sound rather lovely.

I'm still holding out that we'll see it at the final British GT round at Donington in October. That would make a lot of sense to me if they wanted a low-pressure race weekend run-through.

M-Sport plan to run the Audi in British GT for the first four rounds, suggesting a Bentley debut at Brands Hatch in August (assuming everything goes to schedule, of course).
