Good video about the Bentley:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCbMCM_Frz0

It's gonna be good: monster engine, big testing budget and already gone through a 30-hour test.

At the end of this article (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111301), it is reported that they will not race in the Dubai 24.

What a beautiful race car.
It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the other cars in the class.

I would put more attention to the fact that Guy Smith won Lemans with Bentley/Audi. I think their is more connection there than Dyson (who hires damn good drivers).

I guess this can be considered as a confirmation of Turner in a Z4-GT3

One great thing about GT3 is its diversity including the sounds. I just wish the current Mclaren would inherit the sound of the 90's GT1 car, but that is not the case.

With a 3.8 turbo and it's bar homologated as the revs goes up, it's sad to say but it's unrealistic

Gotta love the big front engined cars, true GT if you think about it. The Bentley is gonna be real fun to watch, hope it gets some other teams running it. Z4 gets some crap about not being the right car and engine not from the road car, but the Z4 GT3 is what GT is all about in my opinion.

Shame that BMW doesn't has a super car platform for their genius engineers. Z4 is quick in slow corners, but it never stand a chance in challenging the straight line speed of SLS, not to mention even faster Mclarens and 911 GT3-R

SDR/Lotus Racing did the last 2 races of 2013 with an Evora GX. They said they're planning to race it in the GTD class in 2014. But there has been zero news about this plan since their last race.
