CMRT Eurasia today (May 21, 2017) claimed class victory to continue a run of four straight podiums in the Am-AM class of the Blancpain GT Asia Series.

Once again fielding the #69 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 with James Cai and Kenneth Lim, the duo qualified in third position for the first race of the weekend and despite stiff competition at Chang International Circuit, maintained position to the flag.

The second race proved to be even better for the all AM line-up, qualifying third once again but as rivals ran into difficulties, there were no such issues as they took the victory by a margin of four clear laps.


The win moves Cai and Lim to the top of the championship standings with 70 points, two clear of the nearest rival.

“We’ve had a great weekend here at Buriram,” explained CMRT Eurasia Director Martin Quick. “Both drivers enjoyed competitive races and above all had a great deal of fun on track and that’s what it is all about in this class.

“We had the double podium in Malaysia and now we have another one here as well as a class victory so it really couldn’t be a whole lot better.”


The next round of the Blancpain GT Asia Series takes place at Suzuka, Japan 24-25 June.

Eurasia Motorsport are pleased to announce that they will compete in Blancpain GT Series Asia with James Cai and Kenneth Lim, who will drive for the Aston Martin Racing Partner Team.

Cai and Lim, who finished third in the 2015 GT Asia GTM Cup, will be gunning for AM Cup honours this year. The duo took a sabbatical in 2016 in preparation for the move up to GT3 and have already tested at the Sepang F1 Circuit, the venue for the first event on April 8-9, where they set encouraging lap times during their first experience of the Aston Martin Vantage and GT3 power.

“We are now really looking forward to the year in Blancpain Asia” stated Lim. “It’s a step up but it’s something we have both wanted to do for a while now. It’s a good series to get involved with and we know it will be a good experience and a great challenge.”

Eurasia is no stranger to Aston Martin as they managed and ran the cars for two seasons in 2013-2014. “We are really happy to be back with Aston Martin and in partnership with CMRT we are looking forward to the season,” remarked Team Principal Mark Goddard.

The 12-round series gets underway in April at Sepang, and wraps up at the Zhejiang Circuit China in October.

Just a month after announcing their participation within the Blancpain GT Asia Series, CMR Team by Eurasia have this week also announced an parallel GT programme within the more established GT Asia Series.

With drivers James Cai and Kenneth Lim pairing up again this year, the Eurasia prepared Aston Martin Racing V12 Vantage GT3 team will now face a twelve round season (across both series) with visits to circuits in China, Thailand, Japan and Malaysia. On top of this news, the team have also confirmed an intention to field a second AMR GT3 platform within the series before its official test in Sepang at the beginning of March with the first rounds at the circuit just a few days later.

This news restores the AMR brand participation within the GT Asia after an ad-hoc approach from Australian based AMR newcomers Miedecke Motorsport last year and Craft Bamboo Racing's twin car effort the year before, where driver Darrly O'Young secured the championship at the final round.

The team remains the sole AMR entry into any of the global Blancpain GT Series which itself kicks off in early April.

A year after first announcing their return to the Aston Martin Racing brand, news has been released today that Eurasia Motorsport have finally tied a deal to race their new V12 Vantage GT3 - not in the Asian Le Man Series as first intended but in the inaugeral Blancpain GT Asia Series.

CMR Team by Eurasia, as they shall be known, will enter the single car into the six round series for Chinese driver James Cai and Malaysian Kenneth Lim as they both step up from their former Ferrari 458 Challenge that they raced in the GT Asia Series back in 2015.


This news comes as welcome relief having seen the last AMR car leave the Blancpain GT Series in Europe at the end of this year with the demise of the Motorbase/Oman Racing GT partnership.
