Saw this earlier this week, currently persuading girlfriend this should be the next stage of her sportscar education.

I prefer this version with the wing endplates. Looks better than the older car IMO.

I wonder who owns number 8? The Bentley Drivers Club own number 7...

Saw it on Saturday along with the GT3 and the new road car. They started up the GT3 to drive it out of Think Tank, from what I heard it should sound rather lovely.

Posted a couple on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/wwodb) but you'll have to scroll for a way. Will upload some off my phone when I'm back at home next week.

Blancpain at a guess, and not before next year.

I'm still holding out that we'll see it at the final British GT round at Donington in October. That would make a lot of sense to me if they wanted a low-pressure race weekend run-through.

M-Sport plan to run the Audi in British GT for the first four rounds, suggesting a Bentley debut at Brands Hatch in August (assuming everything goes to schedule, of course).
