SRO Motorsports Group, which created and developed the GT4 category in 2007, is delighted to announce the introduction of the GT4 Asia Cup. This new series has been set up by the Region’s leading Motorsport promoter, Motorsport Asia. The GT4 Asia Cup will be a welcome addition to the Asian Festival Of Speed alongside the already popular GT3 Asia Series.

The new series is part of an agreement between the SRO Motorsports Group and Motorsport Asia that sees the extension of the rapidly expanding GT4 category to Asia, joining the GT4 European Cup and its franchise, the Dutch GT4 Championship.

The GT4 Asia Cup will run according to the SRO regulations and homologation procedures. The GT4 Asia Cup will be run over 6 Events incorporating 2 x 40 minute races per weekend, for a total of 12 races. Each race will have a mandatory pit stop and competitors have the choice of either a single driver or two-driver entry. (Single drivers will execute a timed stop for equality). The season will begin at the Sepang International Circuit as part of the Asian Festival Of Speed Event on May 15th-16th and will visit five of the leading Circuits in Asia including the new Formula 1 circuit in Jeongnam, Korea.

David Sonenscher, CEO of Motorsport Asia, commented: “We are proud to cooperate with SRO to bring this fast expanding GT category to Asia for the first time to run alongside our already popular GT3 Asia Series. With rapidly increasing interest globally from drivers, manufacturers and spectators alike, I believe that there is a very strong future for GT racing here in Asia.”

Stephane Ratel, CEO and founder of SRO Motorsports Group, added:“I am very pleased with the announcement of the introduction of an official SRO approved GT4 pan-Asian series, in the hands of my longtime friend David Sonenscher. His experience of motorsport in Asia makes him the ideal partner for this new Cup, further enhancing the global success of the GT4 category, which is rapidly becoming the perfect entry-level category for GT racing.”
