Just the EBM Aston Martin at this weekend GTWC Asia finale from Shanghai
Tuesday, September 10, 2024
Having competed at Sepang International in Malaysia and Chang International in Thailand before moving on to Japan for their co-joined Japan Cup rounds at Fuji Speedway, Suzuka and most recently at Okayama, the series has moved overseas to China for their final round which still attracts a thirty-two strong GT3 only field.
Amongst those thirty-two cars we will only see the #8 Earl Bamber Motorsport Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 of Setiawan Santosa take part as the D’Station Racing team have elected not to travel – mainly because the World Endurance Championship is in attendance at their home circuit of Fuji this weekend as well.
Santosa runs as a solo driver within the Am Class and sits a very credible fourth within his drivers championship table going into this final event and with fifty points still available, he could move up as high as second come the end of the season on Sunday.
The EBM team has been in the news today for other reasons as the New Zealand based team has been awarded a lucrative GT3 entry within this year’s Asian Le Mans Series over the New Year.
