HubAuto to Make Asian Return

2019-20 Asian Le Mans Series GT class champion HubAuto Racing will return to the championship after a one-year absence.

The Taiwan-based squad will field a single Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, with the driver lineup to be confirmed at a later date.

The Morris Chen-led squad won the GT teams championship during the 2019-20 campaign, fielding a Ferrari 488 GT3

It secured the title when Marcos Gomes, Tim Slade and Liam Talbot won the 4 Hours of Buriram not long before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

HubAuto earned an automatic invitation to that year’s postponed edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it ran a Porsche 911 RSR-19 in the GTE-Pro class and notably took the class pole with Dries Vanthoor.

It returned to defend its title a year later following a switch to Mercedes machinery, with Gomes and Talbot returning to team with Raffaele Marciello en route to seventh in the standings.

The 11th Asian Le Mans Series season will once again be fully run in the Middle East, with a pair of races at Dubai Autodrome followed by two events at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.
