 The heavy Bentley was not ideally suited to the tricky street circuit at Ards, but when the series came to an end in 1936 Hall had accumulated 3 second places in it (1934, 1935 and 1936), each time setting the fastest race pace (78.40 mph, 80.36 mph and 80.81 mph respectively), and each time defeated only by the handicap system.The final version of the car had a 4¼-litre engine producing over 160 bhp and a 40-gallon fuel tank behind the seats, enabling him to complete the distance without stopping.He was one of only two men to have competed in every running of the Ards TT, the other being Earl Howe.
