Hello members,
I’m happy to present you my last build of the Bentley 1923 Le Mans race.
It is the first 24-hour Race Grand Prix of Endurance "Rudge-Whitworth Triennial Cup" organized by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. John Duff, Bentley agent in London, entered with his 3-litre private. He has the driver of Bentley factory Frank Clement as a co-driver. The car is lightened and prepared by racing equipment at the factory.
The adventure, according to W. O. Bentley, ends well after covering 1933.3 km in an average speed of 80.5km/h far beyond that imposed. Duff and Clement finished 4th at the distance with for Clement the lap record at 107.3km/h of the 17.262km circuit. The mark of W.O. is qualified to compete in the second race of the Triennial Cup in 1924.
