Team work and spirit overcome adversity in Barcelona finale
02 October 2017, Crewe – #bentley Motorsport has won the #blancpaingt Series #endurance Cup with #bentley Team M-Sport at a rollercoaster final round in Barcelona.
The team entered the championship finale as #endurance Cup leaders with a 16-point advantage over its nearest rival, thanks to a win at the Paul Ricard 1000 km and a second place finish in the prestigous 24 Hours of Spa.
Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush, comments: “Securing the #endurance Cup Teams title is testament to the hard work that every single member of #bentley Motorsport and #bentley Team M-Sport has put in to this season. I’m proud of our achievements as a team and we’ll use the energy from this championship win as we start preparations for 2018. We’ll be back next year aiming to go one better and secure the driver’s title too.”
The title-winning weekend was not as easy as the team had hoped it would be. Following a crash in the qualifying session, the #7 Continental GT3 #7 required a full front-end rebuild - but after impeccable teamwork the car started the race at the back of the pack of 49 GT3s. Three hours later it crossed the line in P19 thanks to flawless driving and focused determination from the British trio of Guy Smith, Oliver Jarvis and Steven Kane.
