Bentley to line up in ADAC GT Masters in 2015

• Premiere for Bentley Continental GT3 in ADAC GT Masters
• HTP Motorsport to switch from Mercedes-Benz to Bentley
• Bentley team HTP aiming to fight for wins and title honours

Munich – The variety of different marques in the ADAC GT Masters continues to grow. Bentley will line up for the first time next year in the Super Sports Car League. Bentley team HTP are planning to join the ADAC GT Masters line-up with the Bentley Continental in 2015. In the past two years, HTP Motorsport led by Norbert Brückner have been successful in the ADAC GT Masters with Mercedes-Benz but are now switching to the V8 turbo-engined super sports car from England for next season. Bentley team HTP will field two Continentals in the ADAC GT Masters.

The Bentley Continental contested its first full season in 2014 in the hands of British works and design team M-Sport, notching up its first successes. A Bentley will be on the Super Sports Car League grid for the first time at the 2015 ADAC GT Masters season opener in the etropolis Motorsport Arena Oschersleben (April 24th - 26th).

“We had a great season in 2014, but we intend to win even more races and championships next year,” said HTP Motorsport team principal Norbert Brückner. “We are confident that we can achieve that with the Bentley Continental. The team are already looking forward to the new racing cars. Bentley and HTP will constitute serious opposition next year.”
