For the 24 Hours of Spa, the team will run two additional pro-class entries with all drivers to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

All six of the #Bentley Motorsport works team #racing drivers have been retained for the 2019 season. Vincent Abril (MCO), Jules Gounon (FRA), #stevenkane (GBR), Jordan Pepper (ZAF), #andysoucek (ESP) and #maximesoulet (BEL) will once again compete for #Bentley Team M-Sport, as well as being available for Bentley’s global teams to utilise.

The expanded programme will see #Bentley Motorsport continue its tradition of promoting customer team #racing drivers to the central team, giving them the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Blancpain Sprint Series champion #vinceabril (MO) and #Bentley Team ABT graduate Jordan Pepper (ZA).
