The McLaren Junior Pro driver enters the three-round series in a McLaren 720S GT3, a car he knows well from his GT World Challenge Europe campaign.
He joins Optimum Motorsport, teaming up with Andrew Gilbert and Fran Rueda. The British outfit has an impressive track record, including multiple championship titles and winning the Asian Le Mans Series GT crown in 2022 with the McLaren 720S GT3.
Benjamin Goethe:
“I’m excited to be back in the Asian Le Mans Series and to join forces with Optimum Motorsport. Having raced in this series before and with this car, I feel confident and ready to hit the ground running. Optimum Motorsport has a proven track record in GT racing and a great understanding of the McLaren 720S GT3. I’m excited to learn from them, push myself further, and aim for top results together.“
The championship kicks off next month in Malaysia, which will be Benji’s first time racing at the Sepang International Circuit.
