The Aston Martin Asia Cup (AMAC) is a new series which will award the Champion with a stunning fully sponsored drive in the 2009 FIA GT4 Championship. The series runs Aston Martin Vantage N24s which boast 4.3litre, 410bhp, V8-engines in a 12 race Championship in partnership with Michelin, Auto Media China, Graham, Dura, Racing Logistics International and Powerbuilt Tools.
The first two rounds of the Aston Martin Asia Cup were held at Shanghai and saw a double victory by Sri Lanka’s Dilantha Malagamuwa who is looking forward to racing at Sepang. Dilantha will be looking to add to his many happy race experiences in Malaysia, having already won the Malaysian Supercar Series twice.
The opening races in Shanghai proved the series will be highly competitive. Dilantha was followed home in both races by Ringo Chong (Singapore) and Mark Eddy (Australia) who will be keen to revisit the podium. Strong challenges from their fellow competitors including Japan’s Kota Sasaki who took pole position in the opening round, ensure another close and exciting pair of races for Sepang. One driver who will be eager to put on a great show is Malaysian driver Tunku Hammam. Singaporean driver Mel Choo will also be keen to exploit his circuit knowledge of the Sepang circuit and build on his strong showing in the first races.
Sunday 22 June 2008 ticket prices range from 80-150RM.
