Bentley EXP Speed 8 In Action |
But Not Racing |
|
|
Guy Smith will be demonstrating an EXP Speed 8 twice this month, the first time this Saturday at the Nurburgring, then again at the end of the month at the Historic Festival at Silverstone (August 25 - 27).
He'll also be in action this Sunday, at the Yorkshire Motor Festival, Normandy Barracks, Leconfield near Beverley. He's been invited to drive a number of Supercars throughout Sunday's gathering.
"I've never been to the Festival before, but Derek Bell reckons it's the Goodwood of the North so I'm really looking forward to seeing it for myself. And having looked at the line-up of the cars I've been asked to drive, including Lamborghinis and De Tomasos, I must say I'm really rather excited about it."
Bet he'd rather be preparing to race that Bentley though. Despite one great drive (at Donington, where he passed Pirro) and one 'could have been a great drive if the rear brakes hadn't developed a problem' (at Jarama), plus Sebring, Smith has been overlooked for another go in the Johansson Audi. Lemarie seems to have secured that one.
