The Bentley boss said any future program would be based out of Crewe with road car staff drafted in for experience.

Personally I don't see much point in Bentley competing for GT wins, likewise Jaguar and Aston Martin. These brands produce sporty cars but they don't have a 911 like model that's a mainstay in the line-up, they need a halo program that benefits the whole brand, and long after the program ends.

In Jaguars case the E-Type could have been the start of a long GT heritage, but it's going to be the C-X75 before they have another suitable model.
