Ecurie Bertelli showcased its dual expertise at the Donington Historic Festival, providing race support for a fleet of pre-war Aston Martins alongside the official Bentley Motors Works Team. All cars competed using sustainable fuel supplied by Carless Classic Fuels, demonstrating a powerful commitment to the future of historic motorsport.
Engineering Excellence, Modern Commitment
The Donington Historic Festival once again proved to be a spectacular celebration of motorsport’s pioneering era. Ecurie Bertelli played a central role, fielding a team of private client pre-war Aston Martins in the prestigious 'Mad Jack' for Pre-War Sports Cars race, a fiercely competitive event that honours Donington Park’s own illustrious history.
Our commitment to excellence was further highlighted by our technical support partnership with Bentley Motors Limited, assisting their Works Team in campaigning their magnificent Blower and Speed Six Continuation cars. This unique collaboration underscores Ecurie Bertelli’s standing as the pre-eminent pre-war motor car specialist, trusted by both private clients and global manufacturers to ensure peak performance.
The most significant takeaway from the weekend was the widespread use of sustainable fuel, supplied by Carless Classic Fuels. Every car under the Ecurie Bertelli banner—the private Aston Martins and the Bentley Continuations—ran on this innovative, high-performance sustainable blend.
Ecurie Bertelli is proud to be at the forefront of this movement, ensuring that the thrill of campaigning a pre-war Aston Martin—from preparation and restoration to race-day support—remains a viable and responsible passion for the next generation of owners.
