Team Bentley is delighted to confirm that Tom Kristensen, Rinaldo 'Dindo' Capello and Guy Smith will team up to contest both the 2003 Sebring 12-hours and Le Mans 24-hours, driving the latest evolution of Bentley's successful Speed 8 Le Mans GT Prototype.
All three names will be familiar to Bentley fans, the first as part of the driver line up that has won the last three Le Mans, the second as the man who has taken pole position at Le Mans on the last two occasions, and the third as Bentley's existing test driver who drove for Bentley at Le Mans in 2001. It is believed that the multiple race winning experience of Tom and Rinaldo will fit perfectly with Guy's knowledge of both Team Bentley and, in particular, the Speed 8 in its latest form.

This line up will first be seen driving one of Bentley's new Speed 8s in an attempt to win the Sebring 12-hours in March on the team's debut in the event. They will then try to win Le Mans at only the team's third attempt in 73 years.
