Bentley Race

Bentley Race Review

Bentley Race is an Australian guy who got his start in the adult industry as a genuine amateur. Back in 1999, Ben and a friend took some nude photos of themselves and put them online. The pictures got a lot of positive feedback, he started adding more galleries, and soon there were over 100 of them. At this point, Ben started to photograph and film some of his buddies, and when he got more experience both in front of and behind the camera, he launched Bentley Race. Nowadays, it's a well-known amateur site that offers hot Australian and European guys in solo and hardcore action. It's been a while since our last visit, so let's see what's been going on.

The performers are guys ranging from 18 to their thirties. Some are straight, some are gay, and they're all horny and enjoy exposing themselves and having fun on camera. Many are guy-next-door types - some are cute or handsome, some are regular Joes. Most are amateurs from Australia, but Ben travels to Europe a lot and to the U.S. every so often, and he always brings his camera, so there's a nice collection of European and American men, as well. There are lots of well-hung studs here with uncut cocks, and quite a few of the guys are straight and curious about filming porn or exploring action with another guy.

The models are a mix from nearly twinks to hunks with lots of jock types. Many of them sport slim to athletic bodies, but others are quite muscular. While most are smooth, there are some hairy guys, too. These days, about half of the men wear facial hair of some kind, and most of the guys have natural pubes. Ben has a penchant for athletic gear and skateboarders, so he often gets his models wearing shorts, swim suits, muscle tees, jockstraps, or singlets along with knee-high athletic socks and sneakers. Many guys also hold skateboards or soccer balls or other sports gear.

While most of them are amateurs at the time they do their shoots for BentleyRace, many come back to do repeat performances on the site, so they're like mini porn stars of Bentley Race. One sexy guy named Skippy Baxter went on to sign an exclusive contract with a major American studio, and you'll recognize other performers from the past like Harry Louis, Tate Ryder, and Andy Lee.

There is an almost even split between solo and duo videos here. There are 532 duos and 23 threesomes and groups with the guys sucking and fucking in home and hotel settings. There are some pissing videos, as well as a few kinky videos involving light bondage. In the 520 solos the guys talk with Ben and play with their cocks; there's quite a bit of Fleshlight and dildo action, too. Ben has a fetish for outdoor nudity and frequently takes the guys to the roof of his building to shoot some photos. He often gets in on some of the action with the guys, having them suck his cock or offering their asses to him, but it all seems unplanned and very spur-of-the-moment. 

Bentley Race offers 1,089 exclusive videos. The newest are MP4s that can be downloaded and streamed on your desktop and mobiles. The newest and medium-aged videos play at 1440x810 or 1280x720, plus there's a smaller size at 720x404, and they're good amateur quality with decent lighting and sound; you can enlarge the vids to full screen without losing too much quality. However, a few videos are only offered for mobiles, which is the smaller size. All of the videos from 2011 forward are offered only in MP4 format; before that the scenes are offered in two sizes of WMV (720x404 and 540x303) and one MP4 (720x404), and the very oldest videos are WMVs only and offered at a small 320x240. Each scene includes a short description of the action and usually a story about how Ben met the model or other information about him.

If you want to stream the videos, simply click any of the download links and the video will open in a new page. You can enlarge the videos using a full-screen option, although the newest already play quite large. When you're done, simply click your browser's Back button to return to the episode's detail page. Those WMV files don't stream on mobiles and must be downloaded to watch.

There are also 1,468 picture sets, and these are standalone updates; in other words, the pics are not shot simultaneously while videos are being recorded. About 80% of these are solo sets that each contain between 40 and 100 photos. They're laid out in thumbnail galleries with the portrait and landscape pics separated into their own sections on the page. The newer photos are good amateur quality with a lot of close-ups and display at 750x1125, while older pics are smaller at 450x600. You can save them individually, but there's no hands-free slideshow option. Downloadable zip files are available if you want the whole set.

BentleyRace updates with a new scene every Friday, and four standalone photo sets are also added each month. The site also adds a new behind-the-scenes video every week, so while the FAQ says "The site is being updated with new content 3 or 4 times per week", and while that's true, keep in mind that an update can be a video, picture set, or behind-the-scenes video.

Let's talk about extras. First is the behind-the-scenes section with 804 videos showing Ben photographing the guys, talking to them or giving them direction. There's a members forum where you can talk directly to Ben and other members. And there's Ben's blog with previews and info about the guys and the shoots, which is also accessible to non-members, however sometimes there are long breaks in updates, although the latest was added just a few days ago.

There's not a lot to dislike about this site. I wish the oldest videos were remastered so they were a bit larger and converted to MP4 format so they'd be mobile compatible. I was a little disappointed that the model pages don't have profiles or info about the guys, especially since there are great descriptions on each video page. While there is a model dropdown menu to help you find the guys by name, there's no category section, although you'll find tags on each video or gallery page and in the Video and Galleries dropdown menu on the main page. The freeform search isn't terribly useful because it only displays results if the search word appears in a scene's description.

There's still a technical glitch if you're using the Chrome browser on your desktop. Chrome sometimes tries being too helpful, and in the case of downloads, it thinks they're coming from an unsafe source, but they aren't. You may have to let Chrome know that you really do want to download the file. This is nothing unique to BentleyRace - I see this regularly on sites.

Bentley Race is an amateur site with a good-sized collection of masturbation and gay sex videos, plus lots of picture sets starring hot guys, many with uncut cocks. The performers are mostly Australian amateurs, but you will also find some Europeans and Americans, as well as some porn stars and Ben himself. The site updates three to four times each week with a mix of behind-the-scenes videos, picture sets, and new exclusive videos, and most of the vids are mobile compatible. The site has lots of personality with Ben talking about how the guys came to appear on his site. Bentley Race is a great place to see Aussie amateurs and remains one of my favorites.
