Thunderhead Carlin Dallara Confirmed for Asian Le Mans Series

Thunderhead Carlin Racing has confirmed their entry in the LMP2 class for the 2019/2020 Asian Le Mans Series. 

The programme will see the team compete in China, Australia, Malaysia and Thailand with Jack Manchester confirmed on the driver line-up in their Dallara P217 Gibson, this the first season that the current generation of Gibson-powered LMP2s will compete in the ACO’s Asian Series.

Jack Manchester: “This is going to be a new and exciting challenge for me and the whole team! I seriously cannot wait to tackle these circuits and enjoy some hard racing. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun to take on this series and it seems as though each of the tracks will offer something completely different to get to grips with.

“I’m thrilled that we get to continue the journey together and enter another brand new series as Thunderhead Carlin Racing; we’ve made huge strides in the European Le Mans Series this past season and I think we can really hit the ground running for the first round in Shanghai.”

Racing director Trevor Carlin: “This is a fantastic step going forward for the team and entering a new and exciting championship in Asia. We have been competing in the European Le Mans Series and really enjoyed seeing Jack improve his race craft and deliver some great drives so I’m looking forward continuing that relationship in this championship. We have built a good team and I have no doubt that we can push for great results in this new challenge.”
