Bentley Motorsport has stepped firmly into the world of esports by announcing entry into its debut sim racing championship - the SRO E- Sport GT Series – a six-round series held by the organisers of many of the manufacturer’s real-world GT3 races.

The entry will see Bentley field squads in the ‘Pro’ class race for real-world racers and the ‘Silver’ class race for elite sim racers, and show support for all Continental GT3 drivers, including Bentley colleagues and fans around the world, in the ‘Am’ class events.

To celebrate the announcement, the 2020 works team livery, worn by the Bathurst 12 Hours race-winning Continental GT3, will be available for all Assetto Corsa Competizione users to download from 14.00 BST today.

Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Paul Williams, comments:

“Whether a real world racer, a pro sim racer or a gamer who races for fun, if you choose to race in the Continental GT3, you are part of our esports family. To support this growing family, we have entered as a manufacturer for the SRO E-Sport GT Series, and engaged our real-world race team to assist drivers with set- up and social media promotion”
