For the new season of the Asian Le Mans Series, the provisional grid is split equally between 24 prototypes (nine LMP2s and 15 LMP3s) and 24 GT3s.  

Pierre FILLON, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest: “The Asian Le Mans Series is poised for one of its most amazing seasons yet. With a record-breaking field of 48 cars in 2023, we are in for some fierce competition! The series is of vital importance for the ACO and the variety of marques entered this season proves just how attractive it is. See you on 10 February when the flag will be lowered to launch the championship!” 

Frédéric Lequien, CEO, ALMEM and LMEM: “It is fantastic to see the Asian Le Mans Series go from strength to strength. What is particularly pleasing is the growth in prototype entries, opening this class of racing to a new region and a new audience. I look forward to what I am sure will be a stellar season!”

The 2023 season will mark the return of a number of Asian teams who have already triumphed in the past. 2018/2019 GT champions CarGuy will return with their #57 Ferrari 488 GT3 as will 2019/2020 champions Hub Auto Racing, fielding their Mercedes AMG GT3. HubAuto Racing remains the only Asian team to have secured pole in the LMGTE Pro class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

As was the case in 2022, seven different manufacturers will be represented in the GT class. Lamborghini will return to the series with a Huracan GT3 EVO driven by a new team: Leipert Motorsport.
In all, there will be five Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3s, a BMW M4 GT3, four Ferrari 488 GT3s, a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO, three McLaren 720S GT3s, five Mercedes AMG GT3s and five Porsche 911 GT3 Rs.
