Algarve Pro will do the full season, perhaps their first ever in these circles, and so misses their home ELMS race at Portugal in order to make Zhuhai (exact opposite of last year). Looks like they really want those non-reserve LM invites.

Good tactics, is it only an auto invite for championship winner in each class?

So I guess they figure they stand a stronger chance of winning ASLMs outright

Zhuhai International Circuit announced that for the Pan Delta Super Racing Festival Autumn Race on 16-18 September, there will be a special class in Circuit Hero-One for cars that are eligible to race in the Asian Le Mans Series to enter.

All drivers must hold valid racing licenses from China, Hong Kong, Macau or Chinese Taipei.

SPV racing will be running Ashraff Dewal and Borja Garcia in a Ligier LMP3 in the upcoming season

Surprisingly this is only the second announced Ligier LMP3 so far.

We currently have 2 Ligiers, 1 Norma, 3 Adesses, 4 Ginettas

I think it'll be a case of whether they can get drivers, same with Eurasia.

We know Algarve will be there now, Alpine are a probably as well.

More scheduling rumblings (opening race):

Quote:
“The biggest headache right now is the first race. I think for everyone, just for car availability and spare parts as well. It’s trying to jump-start something.”

With the season-opener in Zhuhai one week after the European Le Mans Series finale, and two races prior to the end of the FIA World Endurance Championship season, Cheng is currently searching for a car to use for the first race.

yes and no, yes looking at where they come from, no when you see four p2s, 1 CN and 1 GT Cup. P3 & GT look fine, especially with its variety. Wait, does that mean I have to watch it as well? Ooof.

Needs to do what ELMS does. Online live on YouTube, available at any time afterwards for viewing. I'll watch it if I can pick up the full race the morning after.

I think le sports are broadcasting in China so if that's true then the track cameras etc must exist so hopefully there will be streaming.

Dailymotion.

Apologies for the nitpick, but the ACO probably couldn't cope with the French Connection being ignored (nor, do I suspect, would they want to be seen championing the same service as SRO...)

not sure about that, the youtube version of the race mentioned that it was "streamed 20 hours ago", so I'm thinking they're broadcasting on both platforms (even wiser).

Let's hope all those recovered Ginettas run by these teams make their way to Road to Le Mans next year. The chassis certainly showed their pace this year, against all odds.

Anyway I think what ACO should've done is ban the spec 2017-LMP2s from this series and solely re-extent the lifespan of those old LMP2 Zyteks and Orecas. Then the obsolete cars could've run exclusively in ASLMS until 2025 or whatever

I think it's sad and surprising to not see SMP BR01s in there.
From the model names, one would assume there is no 2017 spec P2 in the asian le mans series: Oreca 03R Judd, Ligier JSP2, Oreca 03R Nissan.

It starts to soon for the spec chassis to be ready to be supplied. And anyway the class is so small and relatively noncompetitive anyway that you might as well go with the old cars for the foreseeable future

The lame seasonal scheduling is to blame again for SMP

http://sportscar365.com/lemans/elms/...kend-notebook/
***SMP Racing has tried to put together an Asian LMS program with a BR Engineering BR01 Nissan, but timing restrictions with the ELMS and WEC rounds make it challenging for the start of the season. However, the Russian squad hasn’t ruled out an entry at Buriram and Sepang.
