Dyson Racing Team's driver, Butch Leitzinger, had this to say;

"We were encouraged with how everything went at Road America," Leitzinger said. "The car was reliable and fast, but Toronto is about as different a circuit from Road America as it could be."

He will drive the Bentley Continental GT3 which has performing very, very well in the PWC this season, their first race being at Road America.

He continued;

"With its stop-and-go nature Toronto presents a different challenge. We’ve seen how good the car is on a flowing, high-speed track. The slower, tight confines and more uneven surface of Toronto will be a new test for the Continental GT3, but I’m confident that our package of great traction and smooth power delivery will result in a strong performance here. We have very little practice time at Toronto, a track where some of our PWC competitors have raced the past three years and we absolutely need to qualify well. We were able to start dead last in the first race at Road America after qualifying was rained out and still finish sixth. Passing is really tough on a street circuit, so we’ll need to start near the front if we want a good finish."

Their counterparts across the ocean are driving their own Bentley Continental GT3 in the Blancpain Endurance series for M-Sport Bentley and are doing quite well too.

Dyson will race this weekend in the Pirelli World Challenge and
M-Sport Bentley will race in the Total 24 hours of Spa, on Saturday 26th July (see that thread for more details).
