The finale of the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting last weekend was its Allcomers race and this featured the unusual spectacle of modern Bentley GTs, two Bentley T-type specials, a 750 Formula car and a Citroen Saxo (among others) going head-to-head.
The winners in the end were Clubmans machinery, led by the Mallock Mk29 of Steven Dickens, over 30 seconds ahead of Steven Chaplin in a Phantom P79. The pace of the 15-minute race slowed towards the conclusion due to oil on the track, much of it from Jim Tiller's Allard, which had an engine blow-up. The first Bentley was the T-type of Robin Ward, demoted to fourth behind James Bellinger's Morgan for overtaking under yellow flags. Ben Eastick's T-type, now running on slicks, could only manage sixth this time.
