Bentley aims to compete in 2015 ADAC Zurich 24 Hour Race at the Nurburgring

Bentley has announced its aim to compete in the 2015 endurance marathon - the ADAC Zurich 24 Hour Race at the Nurburgring.

The speed and reliability of the new Continental GT3 racer, based on the renowned Continental GT road car, were proven with a determined win at the Silverstone round of the Blancpain Endurance Series last month in only the car's second competitive race.

Now, Bentley's Motorsport Division is already looking to next year, with the world famous Nurburgring 24 Hour race set to be part of the team's 2015 calendar alongside another full season of the Blancpain Endurance Series.

Other races are also under consideration as part of an extended Bentley motorsport programme that will also be open for customer teams.
