The opening round of the Asian Le Mans Series has been postponed to August, and the calendar has been re3diced to four events.
The original calendar of the Asian Le Mans Series calendar featured six rounds. However, it has been announced that the races of Shanghai and Ordos, in China have been cancelled.
The race of Zhuhai, which was supposed to host the opening round of the season in May, has been postponed to August. The season is now set to start in August on a brand new circuit of Autopia, in South Korea, which is still under construction.
The participants to Asian Le Mans Series will then fly to Fuji, on September 22nd, then will travel to Zhuhai, October 13th, and then to the final round to be presented in Sentul, Indonesia, December 8th.
Furthermore, the GTE Am class has been cancelled. Instead, the series will accept cars of a more general GT category, which will feature GTE Am-spec cars, but also GTC, and even Japanese Super GT cars with a balance of performance.
All these changes have been made to reduce the cost and give time to new teams to enter the Asian series, which currently suffers from a lack of entrants.
