Bentley Motorsport might not be racing on track due to the postponement of public events around the world, but the Crewe-based team will still be in action as four Continental GT3s are set to race in the Stephane Ratel Organisation (SRO) E-Sports GT Series Charity Challenge.
With racing drivers, engineers and fans around the world staying at home to slow the spread of COVID-19, many are have turned to e-racing to get their motorsport fix.
SRO Motorsports, the organisers of the multiple real world racing series that Bentley's customer teams contest, will host a race at Monza in the Assetto Corsa Competizione game.
The race will see 50 GT3 cars battle it out, comprising 40 real racers and 10 sim racers, with four Continental GT3s fighting for race honours. Bentley Works Driver Al Buncombe, K-PAX Racing's Andy Soucek, CMR's Arjun Maini and JRM's Martin Plowman will each race a Bentley in the one-hour sim race.
In the build-up to the race, Bentley's drivers have worked closely with Bentley Motorsport's technical team to develop the car and the team is feeling confident ahead of its debut esport event.
