Full live video streaming of the 5 race 2017/18 Asian Le Mans Series is set to be added to an already successful TV package after the 2016/17 season saw the Series’ TV highlights package feature as one of the most widely viewed motorsport shows in Asia.

The Series report that the 2016/17 season highlights programmes reached 145 countries with well over 340 hours of TV on 23 networks across the Asia Pacific region and beyond, far beyond the coverage previously seen of any other endurance Championship in the region.

In Asia Pacific alone, Fox International, Fox Sports (Australia), BeIn Sports, Star Sports, LeTV and Sky Sports (New Zealand) were just some of the top channels featuring Asian Le Mans Series programming for the past season with talks underway to expand that coverage for the 2017/18 season to come.

2016/17 also saw a record mixed grid of Prototype and GT race teams, unique in Asian motorsport, battle not only for Championship honours but with all also keen to take one of motorsport’s most valuable prizes, an invitation for the winning teams to take part in the world’s biggest endurance race, the Le Mans 24 Hours.

A record 9 cars from teams that contested the 2016 Asian Le Mans Series feature on the entry for the 2017 Le Mans 24 Hours, far outstripping previous totals.
