Endurance racing champion Seb Morris has been named as one of the official ‘Bentley Boys’ for this year’s spectacular Total 24 Hours of Spa – the biggest race in the world for GT3 cars.
The Ruthin-racer who won the British GT Championship title in 2017 at the wheel of a first generation Bentley Continental GT3 and last year starred during his maiden Blancpain Endurance Cup campaign, will become a Bentley ‘works’ driver for the globe’s most high-profile GT3 challenge.
Promoted from the customer ranks to join one of four ‘Pro’ class Bentley Motorsport entries for this July’s event at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, Morris will partner fellow Briton Callum MacLeod and Brazilian racer Rodrigo Baptista in one of the latest second generation Bentley Continentals.
Bentley’s enhanced assault on this year’s Total 24 Hours of Spa comes as the famous British marque celebrates its 100th anniversary, so to be part of the pursuit for the brand’s first ever outright win at the Total 24 Hours of Spa, this year of all years, is an incredibly proud moment for Welshman Morris.
“It was a massive moment to get the call from Bentley, this is an absolutely incredible development in my career and I can’t thank everyone at Bentley Motorsport enough”, said over-joyed 23-year-old Morris, “It’s fantastic my hard work on and off-track, commitment and performances over the last few years have been recognised in this way and I can’t wait now to get down to work.
