    Bentley brought two generations of racers - the Continental GT3 and Birkin 'Blower' - together to mark an extraordinary year of motorsport.


    Bentley is celebrating a remarkable run of results by bringing together two generations of racers: the Continental GT3 and legendary 4.5-litre Birkin 'Blower'.

    The current GT3 and its illustrious forebear from 1929 met at Silverstone in front of the British Racing Drivers' Club, the motorsport organisation founded in 1928 by Bentley Boy and Le Mans winner, Dudley Benjafield.

    In just its second year of competition in GT racing, the Bentley motorsports programme has gone from strength to strength in 2015, winning the highly-competitive Blancpain Sprint Series and the overall team title in the GT Asia Series.

    The Birkin 'Blower' is one of just five ever made for racing, used by the original Bentley racing team - the Bentley Boys - of the late 1920s, and embodies the true spirit of the vintage racing era.
