The final event of the season was a three-hour race. The number 58 650S GT3 driven by Bell, Ledogar and Brit Duncan Tappy – who was standing in for season-regular van Gisbergen – finished in 30th place. However, because of two victories in a crowded GT3 class of over 60 cars, they still manned to secure the drivers title by one point.

Andrew Kirkaldy, McLaren GT said: “The McLaren 650S GT3 with Garage 59 has proven itself to be the class of the field this year in the Blancpain Endurance Cup against arguably the most competitive GT3 field in the category’s 10-year history.”

“Alongside this, all season long the Factory Drivers Rob Bell, Côme Ledogar and Shane van Gisbergen have been on top form, consistently putting the 650S GT3 amongst the frontrunners in the field. We now look forward to the Sprint Cup finale in Barcelona where Rob [Bell] has a chance to win the overall GT Series Championship.”
