Great effort from everyone at Team Bentley M-Sport, with flawless pitstops and clean overtakes on track.

Always a pleasure racing in Japan with such enthusiastic fans!

Sunny skies and good pace today at Korea International Circuit with the Audi R8 GT3 EVO.

Awful weather conditions, poor night visibility, and myriad safety car periods and incidents across the field throughout the 24h made this one of the most strenuous races we ever had to endure.

It's all part of the experience and now we can finally get some rest before the next one.

Quickest through the test sessions, we showed once again that Lanan Racing has the team and the drivers to succeed with the Norma M30, and we were looking forward to extend our championship lead.

Unfortunately we were unable to continue after an incident during Friday afternoon testing but we will come back as strong for the next one.

A productive first day of LMP3 testing done, together with the fantastic guys at Lanan Racing.

We took the Toyota MR2 to the south of Spain for a 24h adventure, both behind the laptop and the steering wheel.

Juggling race engineering and endurance driving was a challenge, but we made the most of it together with the Drivers Legion Racing Team.

Le Mans Cup testing with Lanan Racing and the Norma M30 LMP3 at Donington Park.

Consistently one of the fastest cars on track at every one of the 12 hours of racing at Mount Panorama, the top spot of the podium was comfortably in our sights.

After sitting at the front of the race for the first half, a puncture and prolonged pitstop made us drop behind the safety car and drop a lap down. From that point on it was a different game and an uphill battle, and while it was frustrating to battle and pass the cars at the front of the race, knowing we were a lap down on the timing screen, it was a joy to see how fast we were able to tackle the mountain.

The team worked quite hard on preparing this event and made it much easier to setup a good qualifying and race car, while the drivers made sure to extract all its performance on track.

Proud to have been part of this adventure again, and looking forward to the next one at Laguna Seca, with Steven Kane, Jordan Pepper and Jules Gounon at the wheel. 

Sit back and enjoy the fantastic qualifying lap by Steven Kane ahead of the Bathurst 12h race last weekend. 🏁

Kicking off the 2019 testing season with the latest aero evolution of the Audi R8 GT3 📈🏁  

Colourful end of the 2018 racing season with McLaren, under the Middle Eastern sunshine ☀️ 

Practice after sundown for tomorrow's Audi R8 LMS night race 🌙 

We did it! ☝️🏆🏁 

We are the 2018 TSS GT3 champions with the Bentley Continental and AAS Motorsport!

After 6 rounds in southeast Asia, we came to Buriram circuit early last week to start testing and preparing for the last race weekend.

Being less than 5pts behind the championship leader, we had to aim for the top positions on both races and afford no mistakes in order to stay in the title fight.

A flawless first race saw us climb from P5 to P1, take the win, and rise back to the championship lead.

The second and last race was a war of attrition between the top 5 cars, with nerve wrecking position changes, intercut with safety cars and even a small fire in one of the next pit-boxes during our mandatory driver change! 

We just needed to finish within the top 7 to guarantee the title, but managing the pace and weighing the risks together with Vutthi and Boom, we had a strong race and finished the season in style with another podium position, confirming the final points needed to clinch the 2018 championship title in Asia.

Very proud of this young team, as in their first year of GT3 racing they managed to learn and evolve session after session, achieving deserved success in their home country. 

It has a special meaning to deliver this title with the everlasting Bentley GT3 too, as after many years of faithfull service, chassis number 17 didn't skip a beat and made it a joy to setup and race with.

Thank you to the drivers, mechanics, and entire team for working so well together and making this a memorable racing season. 🙏

Last round of the Portuguese Rally Championship.

🏁 888km done with #13.

A puncture midway through the first stint made us lose 2 laps to the leader, but great work from the entire crew, no mistakes and a few fortunate safety cars saw us gain back the lost laps and cross the finish line in P2 🥈 

Winners of today's Audi R8 LMS Cup race! 🏁🏆

Now time to reset for the 888km endurance race tomorrow. 

Back to European racing for the week 

Congratulations to Pedro Matos for clinching the final points needed to secure the 2018 🇵🇹 Rallycross Supercar championship title! 🏆🚗💨 

Not the easiest weekend but good to come home with P1 in class in today's race 🏁🍾 

Time to hit the track again with McLaren GT.

We scored P1 points and extended our championship lead after a hard fought race at Montalegre rallycross circuit. 🏆 

We crossed the line in P2 in the first race, on the very technical and unforgiving street track of Bangsaen.

On the second race we had a great battle with the Huracan fighting for another podium finish, but got hit by in the rear with less than 2min to go, damaging the front tyre and rear toe link.

Still, we didn't give up and managed to complete the entire last lap on the rim, still crossing the line in P5, scoring important points to stay in the championship battle.

Relive the last laps action and some moments of last week's racing.
