24h Le Mans
One week after the announcement of Tristan Gommendy's involvement in the European Le Mans Series, the Eurasia Motorsport team revealed the names of the two drivers who will share the wheel of a second car for the last two rounds of the Asian Le Mans Series.
At the first two races of the season, Richard Bradley, victorious in LM P2 at Le Mans this year with KCMG, William Lok and Tacksung Kim failed to impress with the Oreca 03R, but Eurasia Motorsport intends to bounce back at the last two races of the season in Thailand and Malaysia with the entry of a second Oreca for the duo Sean Gelael and Antonio Giovinazzi.
The two drivers are old friends of Mark Goddard's outfit whih entered the first and faced the second in 2012 in Formula Pilota, the Chinese single-seaters championship. Since then, their journey has been about the same. The Indonesian tried his hand at F3 before switching to Formula Renault 3.5, then on to the GP2 Series he will compete in with the Campos team in 2016, and the Italian was named vice-champion in British F3 in 2013 prior to winning the coveted Masters of Zandvoort and taking part in testing with Carlin in the GP2 Series for the 2016 campaign.
Eurasia Motorsport, whose second car will be entereed under the banner "Jagonya Ayam with Eurasia" ("Jagonya Ayam!" meaning "chicken expert" is the slogan of the fast food chain KFC in Indonesia), therefore has two great choices when the season resumes at the beginning of the year for Eurasia Motorsport with the 3 Hours of Buriram, in Thailand January 8-10, 2016.
