Craft-Bamboo Reveals Liveries for Macau Bid

Craft-Bamboo Racing has confirmed its presence in the FIA GT World Cup at Macau, unveiling special liveries for a pair of Mercedes-AMG-backed entries as well as a separate car for team boss Darryl O’Young in the Greater Bay Area GT Cup.

The Hong-Kong based squad will field a pair of Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evos in the GT World Cup, which returns to FIA status this year for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The two cars both feature distinctive liveries reflecting backing from Japanese clothing brand Evisu, which previously appeared on Craft-Bamboo machinery in several Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli rounds in recent years.

The No. 77 car is decked out in a gold, red and black livery inspired by the “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” artwork as well as the Japanese fugu pufferfish, which features on the door.

The sister Mercedes, meanwhile, features a predominantly blue and purple design showcasing Evisu’s Kizzu clothing range. Drivers for both cars will be revealed at a later date.

In addition to its pair of GT World Cup entries, the team will field a first-generation Mercedes-AMG GT3 for team director Darryl O’Young in the Greater Bay Area GT Cup, which runs separately from the World Cup.

It will mark O’Young’s 19th appearance at the street circuit. He holds two GT Cup victories, dating back to 2008 and 2021.

“Firstly I’m very excited that the FIA GT World Cup is back,” said O’Young.

“This race is always entertaining, as it brings together some of the world’s top GT drivers to compete on arguably the toughest street circuit in the world.

“Although I’ve opted not to compete in the World Cup this year, our team will be entering two competitive Mercedes-AMG GT3’s as a Performance Team of Mercedes-AMG.

“We are super excited to collab with Evisu again as title sponsors, and today we launch their two beautiful liveries that will grace the Macau Guia Circuit very soon.”
