"TWIN TURBO V8...."
a bit of a shame because of the new rules they would have to use one of the existing chassis but welcome news all the same.
I also just read that KCMG aren't coming back this year. I guess they'd won their class at Le Mans and achieved what they set out to.
beauty of a machine that was.

KCMG aren't doing the full WEC championship, but are hoping to do Le Mans.
It has been reported elsewhere that Bentley have said Le Mans is not on the radar as 'they have never entered a race they cannot win', so P2 at WEC level would not interest them. America however is another prospect with the new Prototype rules coming into play next year. Plus, the US is now their prime sales market, so makes much more sense commercially.

The Bentley could only be for the USA, P2s for the WEC and ELMS will have a single engine manufacturer from next year
Quite.I would certainly refer to the DSC article re: the Bentley plans though;

there is not a reported commercial package in place.
