Bentley signs K-PAX for American racing programme

Bentley Motorsport has announced that multi-championship-winning team K-PAX Racing will contest the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge with three Bentley Continental GT3 racers. The team, owned by Jim Haughey, has won the Pirelli World Challenge drivers title four times and the manufacturer title three times, so is no stranger to working with leading manufacturers

K-PAX Racing will run three current Continental GT3s in its first season with Bentley. The 4.0-litre turbocharged V8-powered race car has just completed another successful season, securing both the British GT Championship and Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup Teams titles to add to the two GT Asia Series Teams and the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup Drivers trophies that already line the cabinets in Crewe.

Bentley's Director of Motorsport Brian Gush comments, "I'm delighted to welcome K-PAX Racing to the Bentley Motorsport family. They are a team with an impressive and proven track record in the Pirelli World Challenge, and we're looking forward to working with them. The Continental GT3 has had another successful season and we're confident it will continue to challenge for national and international titles in 2018."
