Big changes within the AMR powered camps ahead of second back to back Asian Le Mans weekend next month
Friday, January 24, 2025
Having already competed at Sepang back at the beginning of December, todays provisional entry list shows both an addition of one new AMR Vantage GT3 from the Blackthorn AMR as well (taking the tally to three GT cars) as well as a completely new driver line up within the #89 Earl Bamber Motorsport AMR entry compared to last time out.
Already fielding the one such AMR powered within the #19 car for team owner Claude Bovet and Team Manager David McDonald alongside that of Ferrari Challenge racer Jason Ambrose, the Blackthorn ARM team will also be entering a second Vantage GT3 Evo for their 2024 British GT crew of Giacomo Petrobelli and Jonny Adam who will race alongside Charles Bateman.
That news comes in addition to drivers Gabriel Rindone, Jamie Day and Mattia Drudi taking charge of the #89 EBM Vantage GT3 Evo from that of Tanoto Santoso, Brendon Leitch and Marco Sorensen who crewed the car last time out in Malaysia.
These changes and additions take the GT class headcount to thirty cars alongside that of seven LMP3 and ten LMP2 entries for the two back-to-back races that will be ran over the weekend of the 8th and 9th February.
