For their 2003 assault on Le Mans, all of the Volkswagen-Audi Group’s efforts were focused on the Bentleys which benefited from the same talent that brought Audi to victory in years previous. This included the very capable Team Joest and star Audi drivers such as Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen.

The result was a resounding 1-2 at Le Mans with the the winning #7 car driven by Rinaldo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Guy Smith. Just behind them was the #8 Bentley of Mark Blundell, David Brabham and Johnny Herbert.

After winning Le Mans the Bentley program was halted.
