Andrew Macpherson’s AMAC Motorsport will become the first Australian team to compete in Blancpain GT Series Asia next season after confirming that its Lamborghini Huracan GT3 will contest all six events, starting at Sepang on April 14/15.

The squad has been an Australian GT Championship regular since 2010. During that time it has run a Mosler, Porsche and most recently the Lamborghini.

Macpherson, will be joined by Benjamin Porter who has previously raced with the AMAC team during the Bathurst 12 Hour.

Lamborghini was one of five manufacturers to claim an outright GT3 victory during Blancpain GT Series Asia’s inaugural campaign, while Huracans also finished second and third in the Am Cup standings.

“AMAC Motorsport is looking forward to an exciting 2018 season racing our Lamborghini Huracan at the six best circuits in Asia,” said Macpherson.

“SRO has built a great series with excellent media coverage that attracts large Asian and worldwide audiences. We can’t wait to represent Australia on the international stage.”

AMAC Motorsport Team Manager Steve Bugatto also added, “AMAC Motorsport are excited to be a part of Blancpain GT Series Asia’s 2018 season.”

“Bringing our Lamborghini Huracan from Australia to the best tracks Asia has to offer, and running with the best teams from across the continent, represents a fantastic opportunity to experience a new motorsport environment. Both our drivers, Andrew and Ben, are eager for the 2018 season to begin at Sepang in April.”
