Bentley Motorsport and American partner team K-PAX Racing secured their first championship win together in the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge GT teams’ title  following a consistently strong season and dominant series finale. It was Bentley’s first season with K-PAX Racing and the team scored a podium in each of the five sprint events that took place on the USA’s top race tracks. The team fielded two full-season entries, racked-up six pole positions, ten podium and five race wins for drivers Alvaro Parente and Rodrigo Baptista.

In the season finale at Watkins Glen near New York, the first generation Continental GT3 proved it continues to be a competitive package five years after it was launched, winning both races with rising star Baptista behind the wheel. This championship win will sit alongside the British GT Championship, GT Asia Series and Blancpain Sprint Series trophies that the Continental GT3 has recorded with Bentley Motorsport’s customer teams in Europe, Asia and the USA.

Bentley Motorsport and K-PAX Racing will compete together again in the Intercontinental GT Challenge Laguna Seca 8 Hours on 27/28 October. The first generation Continental GT3 will race alongside the pair of new Bentley Team M-Sport Continental GT3s in the largest GT3 event in North America with all three entries fighting for the overall race win. Once the Laguna Seca event is over, Bentley Motorsport will hand over the pair of new Continental GT3s to K-PAX Racing for them to use in the 2019 season.
