Nielsen Racing, Asian Le Mans champions

Nielsen Racing wins the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series with one round remaining, scoring maximum points in the Middle East held races, and with it, scores an invitation to race the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In the LMP3 championship, there's still all to play for with 2019-20 champions Tony Wells and Colin Noble sitting currently in third, 8 points adrift the leaders after winning the second Dubai race in an historical first-ever double victory for the team. The final 4-hour race will take place today in Yas Marina Circuit, from 12:30 GMT.
