can never prepare for... Until it hits you of course. Given the unforeseen nature of endurance racing, Bentley has performed remarkably well straight out of the box – a fact not lost on driver Guy Smith.
“It was fantastic; almost a perfect weekend for us, with a new car, a new team, a new programme,” Smith said. “You go to those races and you can never
underestimate the challenge of a 12 hour race, especially with a new car, but the GT3 ran pretty much faultlessly all weekend long.
"The purpose was to go there and get experience and to finish the race, which we did, so to bring the car home in fourth place was excellent and definitely beyond what we thought was going to happen. There are certainly some things that we can improve on, but these are things we expect, that’s why we do these long tests. We’ve come away from there with a hit-list to improve on in future and luckily it was all relatively small things, which is very encouraging.”
