Race number 8 distinguishes this dark green Bentley EXP Speed 8 from the 2001 Le Mans Test Day. The new Carrera Evolution model sits in its clear display case with Bentley branding across the rear wing. Its description links the car to Martin Brundle and Stéphane Ortelli.
The Bentley EXP Speed 8 #7 during the Le Mans Test Day in 2001 marked the British brand's historic return to the legendary French endurance circuit after an absence of 68 years.
The car with starting number 7 was driven during the official test day in 2001 by the legendary trio Martin Brundle, Stéphane Ortelli and Guy Smith.
Key details about the car and the test
The Drivers: Although the car later took the iconic victory with Kristensen, Capello and Smith in 2003, former F1 driver Martin Brundle was behind the wheel along with Ortelli and Smith during the first stage of development and testing days in 2001.
Specifications: The car was driving in the LMGTP class (Le Mans GTP). The car was equipped with a specially developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine (developed in collaboration with Audi) and a 6-speed sequential Xtrac gearbox.
Livery: The car wore the iconic, deep-key British Racing Green colour combined with black accents and a striking white '7' on the nose and sides.
Slotcar culture
This particular test version is very popular among model car enthusiasts and collectors. Brand manufacturer Carrera has released this car on a scale of 1:32 within their well-known Carrera Evolution line (under reference number 25453). The slotcar is an exact replica of the car as it appeared on the circuit of Sarthe during the test day in 2001
