I had a track event with the Bentley..... was driven by a pro driver and drove myself the 2010 620+hp Supersports.... this car is truly amazing and like NOTHING else on the market today. The sheer size, weight, gerth in combination with its power, build quality and most insane braking makes this car truly a one of a kind.... it was remarkable.... the power was never at a loss, brakes held (8 piston I believe up front with massive Carbon ceramics biggest on any street car today...)...interior was all class, exterior a mix of class and sport etc...... I also saw, sat in and was a passenger in the new supersports convert.... also an amazing car. I only tacked the coupe not the vert.

Paul Downey from Bentley Boston was the guy that invited me, he was NO pressure, very easy going true car guy.....

This car was amazing.......seriously amazing.

 

I think some track people are going to be amazed with a car of this luxury and brand walks away from them on the track!!!! Bentley, well done....

 

Nice and congrats! CF brakes are indeed good for the track as they shrug off (more than metal) the possibility of brake fade. Tracking is perhaps the most fun one can have with their clothes on

Is this the Monticello NY track event? Next event a week or so away is FCA in Monticello in NY and then 7/16 is LRP, yet feel WGI (on 9/2) would be more appropriate for the CGT.

 

agreed and yes this is NY Monticello, it was a clean and well designed course....top notch facility.

I may never drive a car like this again.... it was that amazing.

 

If i may ask, was it your Bentley or were they 'on loan'? You can do many track events in New England via www.scda1.com or, if you have a Porsche then there are PCA events. FCA (Ferrari Club of America) also has many events and they are open to non-Ferrari cars. In fact there are quite a lot of HPDE (high performance driver education) clubs in the New England area. If you love the track, perhaps get an SCCA license and you could buy or rent a car for racing.

This is WGI during my second year of enjoying HPDE events with FCA http://enjoythetrack.com/video/ferrari/glen090306.wmv


Same track, yet two years later using a different car during SCCA qualifications

The track is a lot of fun and you may want to keep it going as there are so many event and car choices. The eduction of car dynamics also greatly helps on public roads when a dog or other animal might be in the roadways (or dealing with that odd drunk driver or other emergency situation).

Have fun and keep the shiny side up

 

Wow...Amazing looking machine!!

 

wow truly amazing... I would have never thought someone would have the heart to track their Bentley

 

thats fantastic, pushing the perception and limits of a high powered cruiser. Very nice and congrats!

 

Awesome.


That blue one makes me drool. God I love that color blue on cars.
