JEAN BOGHOSSIAN
"Painter of the Instant and the Instinct"
An abstract multidisciplinary artist whose recent artworks all bear, at different degrees, traces of burn degradation. He is one of the few who experiments by applying fire and smoke to various works. Fire, being his artistic language of choice, is used through a wide array of torches. Having transitioned a little more than a decade ago towards abstraction Boghossian’s art may evoke a contemporary view on the Zero-movement and Fluxus although he claims not to belong to any artistic movement. + READ MORE
BENTLEY BRUSSELS - "Find Your Extraordinary" - Bentley Continental GT
Without racing, Bentley may never have existed at all. Created by W.O. Bentley in 1919, Bentley has been racing since then and has forged over the decades a formidable reputation on the racetracks of the world, thanks to a combination of visionary engineering and the courage of the men and women who take the wheel. W.O. Bentley was more than just an engineer; he was also a passionate competitor – a man who believed unquestionably in the importance of car racing to his success.
Bentley’s pioneering vision has long been embodied in the tenacity and ambition of its drivers and our team of pilots. Nigel Bailly, Stéphane Lémeret and Matthieu de Robiano – are no exceptions. Those great motor racing drivers will dispute the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with the Bentley Continental GT3, starting with the 24-hour Spa-Francorchamps (28-31 July)
CMR/PILOTS
CMR
- « Classic & Modern Racing » is a highly-experienced team based at the Pole Mécanique in Alès, in the south of France. Run by Charles-Antoine and Sabine Bourachot, the CMR team have been racing Grand Touring cars across Europe for the past 7 years with great success. Known as a real magician when it comes to transform a basic car into a winning machine, 'Charly' dreams of winning one day the overall classification of the 24 Hours of Spa after having taken a win in his class in 2020, already with a Bentley Continental GT3.
The particularity of this team is the participation of the paraplegic pilot Nigel Bailly, who suffered a motorcycle accident when he was 14 years old in which he became a paraplegic. Passionate about car racing, he is a true motorsport enthusiast, who will do everything possible to live his dream. In 2021, he was one of the drivers of the adapted Oreca 07-Gibson that competed in the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Stéphane Lémeret
- He is the most experienced driver on the Art Car Bentley Continental GT3 and acts as the crew 'captain'. Stéphane was three times runner-up in the 24 Hours of Spa and won twice in his category during this legendary event. This July, he will be competing for the 23rd time! The last time he competed, in 2020, he has already won in his category with the Bentley Continental GT3 for the CMR team. He has great hopes to repeat this feat in 2022, even if the level is higher than two years ago. At the age of 48 years, he should be the record holder once again for the number of participations at the start of the 24 Hours!
Matthieu de Robiano - considered as one of the top experts of the VW Fun Cup, he is also highly experienced in more powerful categories. This year he takes on a major challenge by moving to the GT3 category and to the Bentley Continental car, that he will tackle with professionalism and determination.
He is the boss of the DRM Sportscars team and has won every race of this 'Cup'. Besides, he has a strong background as a motorsport engineer, which enables him to analyse his performances with great acuity, and to progress faster than his peers.
Nigel Bailly - After having brilliantly competed in and finished the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2021, this great sportsman is now tackling the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and the GTWC Endurance Championship, with the ambition to do at least as well as in Le Mans.
