The Bentley Continental GT has demonstrated its extraordinary breadth of ability, first by taking overall victory in Continental GT3 form at the Bathurst 12 Hour, and then with a stunning debut of the Ice Race Continental GT at the 2020 GP Ice Race in Zell am See.

The #7 Continental GT3 of Maxime Soulet, Jordan Pepper and Jules Gounon dominated the opening round of the 2020 Intercontinental GT Challenge at Bathurst, sweeping to victory after starting from 11^th.

The car moved quickly through the order into podium contention. World-class stints from Soulet, Pepper and Gounon, and strong strategy and pit stops from the team, moved the team into the lead for a total time of seven hours - with the car running flawlessly. A superb reactionary pit-stop just over an hour from the end to deal with a puncture was the final act from the team to set the car up for victory.

Rain loomed while ambient temperatures exceeded 40°C, but after the half-day sprint the #7 Continental GT3 crossed the line as the winner of the Bathurst 12 Hour. As they took the chequered flag, the crew also set a new race distance record of 314 laps - before the heavens opened and the team rejoiced in the rain.

While the Continental GT3 scored a victory in the debut race of its 2020 campaign, on the other side of the world Bentley's weekend of racing continued in Zell am See, Austria, where a specially prepared Continental GT competed in the famous GP Ice Race.

Driven by Junior World Rally Championship driver Catie Munnings, and running in a livery that paid homage to its record-breaking compatriot from the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2019, the Ice Race Continental GT marked Bentley's first appearance at the GP Ice Race.

Following her timed runs, Munnings then teamed up with professional Bomber skier Sven Rauber for a demonstration of skijoring, where a skier is towed at speed behind a car in a tradition dating back to the 1928 Olympic Winter in Saint Moritz, when skiers were drawn by rider-less horses.
