Their entry list was published earlier today which has obviously attracted huge interest from within the Chinese GT4 market with a thirty-three-car entry – including the one new AMR Vantage GT4 Evo that we know to be within the country.
With first images of the car coming out at the turn of the year, today’s news confirms that Siyuan Chen will be racing the #10 Level Motorsport entry for what will be two thirty minute plus one lap races on Saturday and Sunday.
We haven’t seen interest like this before since the heady days of the China GT Series when the BSEM AMR team ran at the front of the field with Ross Gunn and Jack Mitchell ran alongside team boss Stanley Yang.
