Three Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3s confirmed with 2023/24 Asian Le Mans Series
Friday, September 15, 2023
There was great news released by the Asian Le Mans Series earlier today as they published outlines of their provisional multi-class entry list ahead of this seasons start in December.
Confirming another thirty-six strong capacity grid, the international racing appetite for ACO rules racing remains at an all-time high as a ten car LMP2, three car LMP3 and a massive twenty-three strong GT3 class grid were confirmed.
Scanning through those entries we see the return of three of this season’s entries as D’Station Racing (as indicated earlier this year), Viper Niza Racing and TF Sport are all confirmed as full season, Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 powered entries.
With driver names not actually listed within today’s news, it is ‘fairly safe’ to assume that Satoshi Hoshino/Tomonobu Fujii, Douglas Khoo/Dominic Ang and (probably) John Hartshorne are included within those cars with other supporting drivers within at least two of those yet to be confirmed.
For teams such as D’Station Racing, entry into this series would be seen as imperative ahead of any World Endurance Champiosnhip endeavours now that that Championship also competes with LMGT3 based cars from next season in lieu of the soon to be pensioned off GTE class.
The 2023/24 season starts with an all-new double header at the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia in early December before moving across to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi for a quick fire three round conclusion in early February 2024. Hopefully, this coming season will run smoother for them all than last!!
