GT Asia is adding two new classes for next season, focusing on its appeal to amateur drivers.
The new categories will be for GT4 cars, and Bronze-ranked drivers only, with one class for experienced amateurs and one for true ‘gentlemen’ drivers.
“It’s an exciting time for GT racing, and certainly this year in Asia, interest has emerged from club racers and sportscar owners who want to take their passion another step further,” Motorsport Asia Limited CEO David Sonenscher explained.
“There’s also a growing group of drivers who just want to race on a weekend and enjoy themselves without having to spend the kind of budget required for GT3.
“It’s a market that is very important to the growth of the sport in Asia, and a market that we will work very hard to foster over the coming seasons.”
Alongside these classes, GT Asia will retain its very successful Pro-Am format for the GT3 category.
Sonenscher also revealed that the 2017 calendar is currently being finalised, and will include a street circuit.
