Bentley Motorsport and American partner team K-PAX Racing have secured their first championship win together - the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge GT teams' title - following a consistently strong season and dominant series finale. In what was Bentley's first season with K-PAX Racing, the team scored a podium in each of the five sprint events that took place on the U.S.A's top race tracks.

The team, which fielded two full-season entries, racked-up six pole positions, 10 podium and five race wins. 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 U.S.A. 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.
