If Lexus doesn't want to spend a penny in the GT3 programme, what did you expect?

It might just be referencing the Spa drive, but Alex Buncombe's Twitter now says "Factory Bentley GT Driver" so I wonder if it's more than a one off race.

I suspect he will do factory races where needed, and be a factory driver for customer teams elsewhere.

Yes, you are wrong! Haha

hat 26 car limit is for Endurance, and it was the maximum number of cars that were allowed in the PRO class.

Not sure if it still applies for this year

Be great to see a serious challenge from Mclaren, Bentley, Porsche, BMW, Honda, etc in Sprint.

Youre right too many Audis Lambos and AMG's.

I hope we see the 720s GT3's in the hands of Racecar Engineering, in both Sprint and Endurance

I stand corrected, hadnt seen that piece.

So as we see it we are there or there abouts at a capacity grid. Seems a shame
