I am confident that their successful track record, combined with the exciting driver pairing of Bian and Edoardo will bring a competitive package to the Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia.
Giorgio Sanna (Lamborghini Squadra Corse, Head of Motorsport): We are very motivated about our return to the Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia after a few years absence. Asia Pacific is an important market for us and combining the experience of VSR with Bian and Edoardo we expect a competitive season.
