Bentley M-Sport increases efforts for 2019


The Bentley Continental GT3 and Bentley Team M-Sport are entities much more suited to endurance racing, showing their class in longer races since the first generation of the British car, and the usual Blancpain GT Endurance Cup efforts will have the addition of a campaign in the Intercontinental GT Challenge for 2019.

The idea is to have to separate campaigns for the Endurance Cup and the IGTC, and for it four models of the new Continental GT3 will be used, with two staying in Blancpain GT and the other two going around the world in the IGTC. This will be added to a monster effort at the TOTAL 24 Hours of Spa, with all four cars competing in Belgium to score points in their respective championships.

As for the lineups, the current roster stays unchanged, with Steven Kane, Andy Soucek, Maxime Soulet, Vincent Abril, Jules Gounon and Jordan Lee Pepper being nominated. As for how the drivers will be split between the entries and who will get in for the Spa entries will be a thing for a later date.

Curiously most of the drivers nominated will have a race to call home in the schedule, being them in the Endurance Cup or in the IGTC.
