Top level sportscar racing is definitely on the up in China and this is a great way to encourage Chinese drivers into the sport. This year we had Pu Jun Jin competing at Le Mans along with David Cheng, both funding their respective cars for the event (and season) and both certainly proved their worth in the sport, even as Bronze amateurs, so hopefully their success and a series such as this can further encourage the development of local drivers.

The incentive of winning is pretty damn good too! Basically there's now complete year round racing for asian teams looking to purchase a P3 along with the Sprint Cup and AsLMS.

Alex Tagliani, now a regular in NASCAR's Canadian Pinty series, is set to make his debut in the new China-based FRD LMP3 Series. He will join Australia's Greg Taylor in Craft-Bamboo Racing's Ligier JS P3 LMP3.

Change of date for the first round also, now 28th May with an official shakedown a week before, though this clashes with the Blancpain Asia which most teams involved in FRD take part in.

Series completely cancelled. Chinese government being difficult and it'll likely effect Asian le mans also

Scratch that, sounds like they'll have their first 2nd races at sepang to get around the Chinese import issue or whatever it is then go to China.

All fun and games industry Asia.

Le Mans Prototype heading to Zhejiang for Shakedown

The first ever Le Mans Prototype Event in China - FRD LMP3 Series is now confirming the first race to be hosting in Zhejiang International Circuit on 1st July, 2017. Due to the delay of the shipment, the cars had been waiting long enough until updates today.

All the prototype racecars had arrived Hong Kong and preparing for packing into container to Zhejiang at this moment. It is assumed to be arriving Zhejiang by the middle of June. The shakedown will be undergoing on 27th June so that teams and drivers will have enough time to prepare everything they need to know about the new circuit and adjustments that will be needed to make. There is still more than a month to go but teams and drivers had already started doing testing and training on drivers’ fitness and simulations, hoping to have more advantage before the race started.

Kenneth Ma, founder of Formula Racing Development and FRD LMP3 Series, expressed that, “After months of arrangements and supports from parties, the prototype LMP3 are now heading to Zhejiang International Circuit. This is the best news for FRD and teams and drivers. Since the date of the press conference of FRD LMP3 launch, international teams and sponsors had been attracted by the series. Once the race started, there will be more enquiries from these parties and I hope that the race will be jumping to a higher level in a short period.”

I can't keep up with this series. Glad it's actually happening at least, though late. Has the potential to become a great series and hopefully the cars will join in with AsLMS later in the year.

Juntos is a back marker

The calendar changes every two weeks. So we can expect an update schedule soon. I am not surprised. It is organized by a bunch of amateurs. Wisdom is neither inheritance nor a legacy.
