Fancy Rallying a Bentley?

it's standard apart from snow tyres, sump guard and the ride hight has been increased and set not to drop.

The clip I saw on MSN said it was James May driving

Bently showing rangerover owners how its done

I'd like to see if the service crew could change the gearbox in under 20 mins like they can on the WRC cars

its simple.... you take the number plate off that car and put it on another! :)

according to autosport magazine, it had standard tyres and the air suspension to its highest setting and nothing else. Also, Kris Meeke (he of the Mini WRC team) is driving but no one else was nuts enough.

Can just see some rich plonker picking this up at a dealers in a few months thinking he's saved a couple of grand for buying a lightly used ex-demonstrator

Better than this guy anyway

It's about 31 years too late .

Rolls were there first

Ok, so its not strictly a factory effort, but equally, you wouldn't picture a Corniche doing the Paris Dakar as much as you wouldnt picture a Conti GT rallying.

Pretty cool seeing this going round on TG! :)

Got a fair few behind the scenes shots:

Fair play for hussling round like that, they're not the easiest of cars to place where you want.

Can see a bit of 'work' going on with it tbh. Had the seats and harness put in and Bentley would of known what they were doing with it, so would of maybe made adjustments to help.

Guess you could ask yoof, iirc he worked in the Bently canteen or something so may of heard if any more was done to it

it was as standard as it can be.. apart from winter tyres, sump guard and the ride hight has been increased and set not to drop. :)

Yea, I get that. But there's things Bentley may of done with sus and other programmable settings, I don't really know what...

That driver is pissed as a fart!

That was on Top Gear on Sunday. It was hilarious!

Nope, stock car - winter tyres, but driven to and from the event by an ex-collegue of mine.
