There’s further good news for the Asian le Mans Series as Craft Racing have anounced that their single car full season entry will be boosted by two more cars for the season finale next weekend at Sepang.
The team are looking to take a class win in GTC with their #007 Aston Martin Vantage GT3, currently lying second in the order and have added their new car, a second V12 Vantage GT3 for the final race.
In a further surprise move the team will also field the Murphy Prototypes Oreca Nissan LM P2 car (fielded last time out for KCMG as the team’s Morgan Nissan was on Fuji WEC duty), boosting the class for the season’s premier class.
China’s Pu Jun Jin and Ireland’s Dan Polley have been named as two of the three drivers for the LM P2. The LM P2 entry will cement the team’s plans for drivers in the Asian region to be able to move up the motorsport ladder with the same organization.
Young drivers can race in the highly successful junior driver development formula, Formula Masters China, and then progress through LM PC to LM P2 in Asian Le Mans.
The team also competes in the GTC class of Asian Le Mans together with a program of long distance events such as the Dubai 24 Hours and Sepang 12 Hours.
Craft Racing Team Principal, Mark Goddard:
“This is an exciting step for the team and I am sure we can take the fight to the established Asian Le Mans LM P2 teams. Our engineer ran an LM P2 at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours and the team are multiple F3 champions therefore we are well practiced at running high downforce sophisticated cars. Murphy Prototypes will also provide some technical assistance and I have to thank Greg Murphy for helping make this happen. We are happy Pu Jun Jin and Dan Polley will be driving for us and we are currently in talks with several drivers to fill the final remaining seat.”
