Blancpain GT World Challenge Asia 2019

[Bcarr6]

Looks like there going to be another solid season in GT Asia, hopefully they can make a few improvements on the show too.

Calendar is fairly similar to last year with the loss of the two lesser known Chinese circuits, and the addition of Yeongam in South Korea, the former formula one circuit. The old GT Asia Series used to run there and it made for good racing.

Sepang International Circuit - April 6-7
Buriram Chang International Circuit - May 11-12
Suzuka International Circuit - June 22-23
Fuji Speedway - July 6-7
Korea International Circuit - August 3-4
Shanghai International Circuit - September 27-28

Decent entry building slowly, a whopping 4 cars from Absolute spread across two Audis and two Porsches with factory drivers expected from both MFG's.

Craft Bamboo making the big switch from Porsche to AMG, which leaves a question mark over the GruppeM entry.

Phoenix Asia bringing those new gen Bentleys, so we are looking at a slightly more mixed line up in 2019.
