Bentley Leicester Car Rally

Bentley Leicester invited a handful of selected guests to immerse themselves in an exciting car rally and dynamic Bentley driving experience like no other.

The car rally began at around 11.00am, with a procession of prestigious cars setting out from the Leicester showroom, the convoy included Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts, a classic Aston Martin DB5, an Aston Martin DB7 convertible, a Ferrari 599 and numerous Bentley cars. After searching for the answers to set questions along the way guests arrived at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. The 4 mile circuit boasts some of the best selections of track corners and straights available in the UK.

A mouth watering BBQ expertly prepared by Stones Events was served whilst guests watched each other handle the Bentley Continental Supersports and Continental GT Speed on one of the longest tracks in the country. Guest of honour was the Continental Supersports convertible making a private appearance ahead of its launch later this year.

To complete the day, guests were invited to sip vintage champagne and enjoy delicious finger sandwiches and scones at the fabulous Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire.
