The Bentley for Indianapolis

As already announced in the Autocar of April 22nd, a three-litre Bentley car is to compete in the 500 Miles Race at Indianapolis on May 30th… The Bentley is one of the few cars, which can be converted into a racing car by altering only a few parts, such as gear ratio, carburetter, and compression. An interesting regulation for this race is that the two-litre cars may have single-seater bodies, whereas the three-litre machines must carry two. This is a considerable advantage for the smaller cars.
