Bentley Motorsport has travelled 17,000 km from its Crewe headquarters to New South Wales in Australia to take on its first challenge of the 2017 season - Bathurst 12 Hours - where the team is looking for a win on the world-famous Mount Panorama circuit.
A pair of Bentley Continental GT3s is entering the endurance race that sees more than 50 cars from the world’s leading manufacturers battle it out on the tight and twisting walled roads that wind over the mountain.
In the Continental GT3 #17, Guy Smith (GB) and Steven Kane (GB) are returning to Bathurst for the third consecutive year looking to beat their 2016 third place result. Incoming driver Oliver Jarvis will complete the all-British lineup as he races at Bathurst for the first time.
Andy Soucek (ES) and Maxime Soulet (BE), who lead last year’s race at the three-hour mark, are also returning to the mountain together, this time bearing the number #8. They will be joined by Vincent Abril (MO) who also makes his debut on the 6.2 km-long Australian track.
