Bentley to run at Silverstone

The Le Mans-winning Bentley sportscar will appear at British Grand Prix with a demonstration run for the fans. The lap of honor will take place on Sunday morning. The event will also boast a full range of support races, an air display from the Red Arrows and the post-race Grand Prix party which will be headlined by another British institution, the rock band Status Quo.

"It's a real coup to have such a quintessentially British marque on the bill at this year's British Grand Prix," said Andrew Waller, the man in charge of Brands Hatch Circuits (formerly known as Octagon), which operates the Silverstone circuit.
