The perfect weekend for the #35 Ultimate crew of Stephane Lemeret, Matteo Quintarelli and Bence Válint saw the last-minute-assembled crew score double pole, courtesy of Lemeret, whose only prior start in an LMP car had been in a Formula Le Mans Oreca FLM 09 15 years before.
They then went on to win both races, taking a maximum 52 points in Malaysia.
In doing so they helped to complete a quite an extraordinary ‘set’ for AF Corse, who is servicing the Ultimate team for the Asian Le Mans Series.
Amato Ferrari’s eponymously initiated team took their first race win in LMP3 in Sepang, adding to wins in 2024 in LMP2 and Hypercar, and also in LM GT3 as well as GT3, thereby ticking off every current ACO rules racing class in a single year, as well as prior victories in both GTE Pro and GTE Am too!
