Looks like the back of a pickup driving backwards.
Its not though, there is a suction cup stuck to some glass there I think.

Been trying to find who this is. The 962 sold in 2009, and was run at the time by Simon Wright. However searches are hampered by the name being shared with a photographer, or maybe they are the same person. It raced at Le Man's in 2012 but Zak Brown drove it (professional driver). This chap clearly needs their hand shaking and I want to know who it is  The owner of the Bentley is a Martin someone. That's all I could find out.... |

Now I am confused - my Friend Kieran took this pic earlier as he is on holiday in Marbella - how is one of his holiday snaps owning the net?? whoever took the photo, he definitely wasn't in Marbs....stand in front of the Hotel De France facing out, turn left 45deg and the house it's outside is there. as the link above notes Martin Overington now owns said Hotel... usually after the Classic you see a fair few of these 'Lorries' doing the Chateau tours around Amboise, Blois etc |

As the Bently has more torque than a supertanker, it makes an ideal tow car.....

I think they'd get better aero and gas-miles if the LeMans car was t'other way round on the trailer  Epic. Love it. |

Hi, As village says the Bentley has lots of torque which is good for towing. The race car is all about power which you have to sacrifice a lot of torque to attain.

If you put the race car on the other way round then it would be horribly tail heavy. Not Good... Having now seen the wink I expect at least one parrot for stating the obvious.  |
