Two AMR Vantage GT3 crews confirmed ahead of next month Asian Le Mans Series opener
Thursday, November 21, 2024
Confirming a healthy and buoyant forty-two, multi-classed entry for this latest season of the Asian based ACO rules series that kicks off in Sepang (Malaysia) in just over two week’s time, there was also news as to the identity within the two Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3’s as previously listed this time around as full season entries.
Within the #19 Blackthorn Motorsport AMR entry we will be seeing team regulars in team owner Claude Bovet and Team Manager David McDonald again pair up again like they did for most of this season’s Michelin Le Mans Cup Series but this time with bronze rated and former Ferrari Challenge Champion, Jason Ambrose alongside.
They will be joined within the twenty-five strong GT class by the #89 Earl Bamber Motorsport AMR Vantage GT3 which has had drivers Anderson Tanoto (Indonesia), Brendon Leitch (NZ)and AMR factory driver Marco Sorenson listed.
Whilst Sorensen needs no introduction and Tanoto has featured within many an AMR entry within the Asian theatre of racing like within the likes of the Thailand Super Series, Great Bay Area GT3 support race at Macau, Leitch also comes with a massive extent of prior GT3 knowledge and experience although (we believe) this will be his first time within an Aston Martin.
Rounds one and two of the short winter series kick off at the Sepang International Circuit over the 7th and 8thDecember before moving onto both the Dubai Autodrome and the Yas Marina circuits over the 8th and 9th and 15th and 16th February respectively.
