This year's Festival will mark a number of other important automotive and motor sport dates including 90 years of the world famous Le Mans 24 Hours race which will feature in the programme from early Bentleys to the latest all conquering Audis. Modern “Bentley Boys” can indulge their speed-lust with the Bentley Continental GT3, a full-on racing car with 600-hp and a 4-way adjustable suspension. Bentley capped his successes by creating the renowned 6½ Litre, which paved the way for the winningest Bentley car of all time, the famous Speed Six. Sep 7, 2012 - Described as the most grueling test of man and machine in the entire world of racing, the 24 Hours of Le Mans has been held every year since 1923 (with a 10 year hiatus for WWII from 39′ to 49′) in the town of Le Mans, France.

And to honor the 90th Anniversary of this legendary endurance race, W.O.'s company unveiled a very special Mulsanne Le Mans Limited Edition at this week's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Today, it stands alone as the oldest by winning Le Mans the following year.
