A new venture for Optimum Motorsport in the Asian Le Mans SeriesInception Racing with Optimum Motorsport’s winter programme is taking shape with the British-based squad confirming its entry into the Asian Le Mans Series, which takes place at the state-of-the-art Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi next February. The McLaren Customer team has already confirmed its entry into the Gulf 12 Hours, and there will be a great deal of continuity as the team’s pairing of GT3 drivers – Brendan Iribe and Ollie Millroy – will pilot the McLaren 720S GT3 entry in what will be a four-round championship. The team’s third driver has yet to be confirmed. Optimum Motorsport competed in the British GT Championship, International GT Open as well as GT World Challenge Europe in 2020 and is now preparing for what promises to be a comprehensive 2021 season ahead as well as its debut in Asian Le Mans. The series gets underway in Abu Dhabi with two races on the weekend of 5/6 February with another two rounds expected to take place at the same venue shortly afterwards. |
