Indonesian Sean Gelael will be joined by Italian Antonio Giovinazzi for the final two rounds of the Asian Le Mans Series to be held in January at Buriram in Thailand and the Sepang F1 Circuit in Malaysia. They will race the Oreca 03 Nissan LMP2 which Eurasia ran in European Le Mans this year. This is not the first time they have driven for Eurasia, Giovinazzi having won the Formula Pilota Championship in 2012 with the team whilst Gelael was a race winner during the same season. The car will run under the “Jagony Ayam with Eurasia” banner.
The Eurasia team has grown to two LMP2 cars for Asian Le Mans with the #9 Jagony Ayam car joining the #99 Oreca 03R Nissan driven by Richard Bradley and William Lok. A 20 plus car field is expected for the January races, the Asian Le Mans Series becoming stronger by the event. Eurasia Motorsport Team Principal, Mark Goddard, says “Both Sean and Antonio started their racing careers with us and its great that just three years on we are back together in LMP2. They make a very strong driver line up and we believe we have a very good chance of winning. The car looks stunning in the Jagony Ayam yellow and red colours and normally good looking cars are fast!”.
