The Bentley brand will be present in the entire 2019 International GT Open season thanks to Petri Corse. The Italian team, based near Florence and linked to motorsports since 1947, defends the colours of the legendary British brand in GT3 since last year.
For 2019, Petri Corse has opted for the GT Open and has confirmed one Continental GT3 of the latest generation, which will be entered in the Pro class with a top driver pair to be revealed in a few days. The squad is working to get a second car entered in Pro-Am. This other car could be another 2019-spec Continental or the 2017-spec used last year. Petri’s efforts are supported by the Crewe-based make and are part of the Junior Team Bentley programme.
Team Principal Simone Petri stated: “We tasted briefly the GT Open two years ago and were very impressed. Not only it is one of the most competitive and high-level GT3 series in Europe, but also one of the friendliest and better organized ones. I really appreciate how GT Sport does things and takes care of its participants. For us, it was the obvious choice for 2019 and we are glad to be back with an ambitious programme and a prestigious brand as Bentley.”
