British racing driver Oliver Jarvis

Bentley Motorsport has signed British racing driver Oliver Jarvis to join Bentley Boys Guy Smith (GB), Steven Kane (GB), Andy Soucek (ES), Maxime Soulet (BE) and Vince Abril (MO) in its pair of race-winning Continental GT3s.

Jarvis, who has an impressive career that includes nine years as a works team driver in LMP1 and DTM will race alongside fellow-Brits Smith and Kane in the #7 Continental GT3 for the Blancpain Endurance Series, while Abril moves to join Soucek and Soulet in car #8.

The team will start the season with a return to Bathurst 12 Hours on 3/4 February, where its two-car works team line-up will be joined by a new customer team, Heretic Motorsport.

Bentley Motorsport returned to racing in 2014 and has since taken multiple race wins, won major international championships; and has stood on the podium in all of the series it contests with its multiple customer and partner teams.

Although this is Oliver’s debut at Bathurst, he is no stranger to endurance racing. As well as contesting the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans six times, he has won both Daytona 24 Hours and Sebring 12 Hours, America’s highest-profile long-distance events.
