The championship sees four countries across Asia hosting six three-hour events similar to those of its European Le Mans Series counterpart.

Like the ELMS, LM P2 has been designated as the premier prototype category, allowing OAK Racing to fight for overall race victories and the championship with its Onroak Automotive designed and built prototype that will this year carry its traditional pink and black livery.

Tung’s extensive single-seater CV includes reserve driver roles with Williams, Renault and Lotus Formula 1 teams, as well as titles in Formula BMW Asia and German F3. This will be his first experience of driving a sports-prototype however.
