Team NZ is geared up and ready for the final round of Asian Le Mans Series 2017/18, the 4 Hours of Sepang, which will take place at Sepang International Circuit this coming Sunday afternoon (4 Feb).
It’s now just under three weeks since the team joined the second half of Asian Le Mans Series 2017/18 season by contesting the 6 Hours of Buriram, held at Chang International Circuit, Thailand. That endurance race kicked off the year in superb style netting victory in the GT Cup class, a trip to the top step of the podium coming for the second consecutive year. Regular drivers Graeme Dowsett and John Curran being joined on this occasion by Will Bamber in the #77 Porsche 997 GT3 Cup.
“I had a great time with the team in Buriram so I’m stoked to be back again for the final round of the season,” commented Bamber. “Massive shame that JC cannot make the last one, so that will present a new challenge with our first two driver line-up for the race. But we’re ready for it!”
The Asian Le Mans Series weekend programme kicks off with Free Practice spread over Friday (2 Feb) afternoon and Saturday (3 Feb) morning with final qualifying coming up later that afternoon. Then it will be quickly onto race day and the Asian Le Mans 4 Hours of Sepang will go to green lights on Sunday (4 Feb) at 1300. The chequered flag is scheduled to be waved at 1700.
