Bentley Dynamic Driving Day - May 2011
If ever a car was built to be driven, it is the
Bentley. Passion for performance is in our blood
and our bloodline.
In conjunction with the Aspirational Club,
Bentley Leicester continues to take an
extraordinary interest in drivers who share our
passion for Bentley and its racing history, which
was written on the race tracks of Europe by a
breed of adventurers who not only had the vision
to build great cars, but also the courage to drive
them to victory.
Not for the faint-hearted, our Dynamic Driving
Day at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in May
will involve tests of skill in a wide variety of
driving situations. Experiencing and correcting
oversteer and understeer, understanding the
ESP system and high speed cornering techniques,
the thrill of mastering these and other driving
challenges make for a truly unforgettable driving
experience.
Refreshments and barbecue lunch will be
available from our unique trackside Bentley
Hospitality Unit.
Forthcoming Events
