If the Bentley's speed 8's engine is...
If the Bentley's speed 8's engine is really a Bentley instead of an Audi, then, why don't you change the information on its Wiki page?
/info/en/?search=Bentley_Speed_8
Because it's not my job, nor is that article on my watchlist? Why don't you change it if it is in error? Should I also point out that the article text specifically talks about the engine being sourced from Audi yet modified? Or that the
2001 and
2002 articles also specify the engine is a Bentley? Or how about taking the time to look up some real sources instead of changing things and then telling other people to confirm their reverts of your edits?
There, done.

Top Speed during race?
Can anybody add the source for the top speed of the qualifying?
It would also be great to add the top speed during actual race, no?
Thanks,

Thunderstorms were forecast, and at the start the weather was clear although a heavy rain shower fell on the track. - If a heavy shower fell on the track, the weather was not clear when it was coming down. Elaborate when the shower happened - if it preceded the race, then you can say that despite a heavy shower before the race, the weather was clear when the race began
