Indeed, AAI Motorsports will represent ADESS AG, one of the constructors of LM P3 prototypes that Ollie Millroy, who tested a Ligier JS P2 - a car in the LM P2 class - last year, will develop at the same time as his program with the BMW Z4 in GT. Last year, the Brit let the title slip through his fingers by missing a race due to another engagement the same weekend, but he hopes to make up for it this year.

Ollie Millroy: "I’m really looking forward to racing out in Asia for the second time and getting back in the BMW Z4 GT3,” he said. “Missing one of last year’s rounds obviously impacted on my final championship position, but I’ll be doing the whole of the 2015/16 season and the plan is very much to win the title. Doing just that offers the added bonus of again securing a guaranteed Le Mans 24 Hours entry. AAI are a great team and the BMW’s a proven winner, so we’ve got every chance of doing the double."

This year at Le Mans, the AAI Motorsports team entered two Porsche 911s in the LM GTE Am class with the help of Belgian outfit Prospeed Compétition. Though the two cars only managed to finish sixth and eighth in the class, they did cross the finish line, a highly encouraging result as five of the six drivers were racing at the 24 Hours for the first time ever.

The team's founder, Jun-San Chen, who was a member of the No. 68 Porsche's driver line-up, enjoyed his experience at Le Mans so much he wants to return next year, hence the goal cited by Millroy.
