Kind of strange that MWM has made such a song and dance about this, starting their show half an hour earlier for something that has been long rumoured.

With Bentley and Jag now back in GT3 surely the ACO will have to do something to lure them in?

Yes, they did oversell it. Hopefully the Jag P1 will come to fruition and there may be a GTE Bentley in the future as they said.

Even though it's enormous, I hope that Bentley can keep up with the rest of the field!

It's reported on GTspirit.com the car weighs 1250kg. The Nissan GTR is a big car as well.

1250KG, and 500BHP+ should work OK!
The shots are taken at Anglesey Circuit, just round the corner from Bentley in Crewe. I look forward to meeting one 'in the flesh' as it were... |

Seen how massively huge gigantic the GTR GT3's rear wing is? The drag off that alone would ruin it's coefficient...

Okay, I gave an example to not exclude a car for it's size, the road GT- R has reasonable laptimes at famous tracks,anyway we all know the GT3 GTR is not competitive enough, but the GT1 car was bloody fast!, and i would bet bigger than the bentley. Few things are bigger in motorsport than the GT1 GT-R.

Looks great, similar to a V8 Star car. Hope someone will run one next season.

Apparently a road going Conti's door weighs 54kg, race car door weighs 7kg. That is 94kg saved through doors alone!

Wow, couple that with those seats, whatcha think those weigh? That's a good 60kg easily taken out. There's so many things that're gone it's no wonder to me it's 1250kg.

Add to that that they have taken out the four wheel drive system.

There will be a road going version of that Bentley too. So if you have £200,000 spare and no taste, you know where to go.

No taste? Maybe thats your view but itd be great to see a lighter bentley. They did say the aero would be toned down.
