I think the homologation for the conti ends at the end of next year so next year will likely be the last year there'll be any chance of them running outside of historics in a while
It's not super impossible as Audi left GT3, having all of Porsche/Audi/Lambo/Bentley from VAG in GT3 was always ending with something cut tbh. Even now with Porsche & Lambo I don't think chances are great? Honestly if there's a magic new VAG GT3 I'd rather expect Cupra to throw something at the masses rather than Bentley getting the nod, especially as both Bentley and Lambo are Audi daughters, but I guess it's allowed to hope.
If it were up to me to choose which VAG brand participated in motorsports, specifically sports car racing, I'd choose Porsche and Bentley to be the GT cars with Audi or VW being the touring cars or rally cars.
Porsche is still fairly autonomous inside of VW, so Porsche still gets to be Porsche. But Bentley has a history in GT racing and Lamborghini doesn't really have motorsports in its blood. Lambos until recently were always poster cars more than they were for driving. They fit better stationary with a bikini babe posing on them than they do at a track.

This makes me happy. I'd honestly love it if Bentley decided to build another GT3 car. I hope these stay racing as long as they can.
