BENTLEY’S racing team conquered their second 12-hour challenge of the 2015 motor racing season – only this time they are relied on pedal rather than horsepower.
On May 1, the Bentley Team M-Sport car #7 drivers , Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steven Kane, set off on an epic 158-mile charity bike ride in aid of St Luke’s Hospice’s Care2Save scheme.
Created by the fundraising team at St Luke’s, Care2Save provides funds to improve hospice and palliative care around the world.
Andrea Fragata Ladeira, chief executive at Care2Save, said: “Bentley have supported St Luke’s Cheshire Hospice for many years, the hospice has in turn offered support to Bentley staff and their families at very difficult times.
“Care2Save allows us to work in partnership to not only ensure St Luke’s a stable future but to develop excellence in palliative care beyond our locality and into the wider world.”
Commencing at 5am, the journey began at the home of Bentley in Crewe where Bentley Motorsport is based.
The route saw them pedal north through Cheshire, onwards into Lancashire, through the mountainous Lake District and on to Cockermouth, Cumbria.
The route concluded at M-Sport in Cockermouth, Cumbria, where the Continental GT3 cars are race prepared.
