Four formidable Porsches: Absolute Racing aims for victory with a star-studded line-up

Absolute Racing will be fielding a truly impressive line-up at the FIA GT World Cup in Macau. The team will be entering four Porsche 911 GT3 R cars and one Audi R8 LMS GT3, which will be driven by Earl Bamber.

In addition, Absolute Racing will provide the technical support team for the AO Racing by Absolute Porsche, which will be driven by Laurin Heinrich.

The team’s three other Porsches will be driven by Thomas Preining, Alessio Picariello and Dorian Boccolacci. Preining’s and Picariello’s cars will feature the Tempo livery, which generated a great deal of excitement last year. Dorian Boccolacci’s livery will be confirmed at a later date.

Alexandre Gibot, Managing Director of Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific, says: “We are looking forward to travelling to Macau with four top-class cars to compete in the FIA GT World Cup. We are delighted to be working with Absolute Racing once again and to be resuming our partnership with AO by Absolute Racing following their success at the Suzuka 1,000 km race. All four of our drivers have experience at the Guia Circuit, so we are confident that, together – thanks to the combination of an outstanding team and a solid technical infrastructure – we can once again fight for the top places. The Macau Grand Prix is a prestigious event in the Asia-Pacific region, and one at which we are determined to succeed. We are therefore eagerly looking forward to taking to the track there next month and aiming for victory.”
