Except Macau all are event are running two rounds,and they are seeking possibility for Zhuhai Circuit return.

Defending Champion Mok Wng Sun will continue 2012 campaign with his 458GT his teamate David Lai planned to join some race with his LP600+.Sepculation say they have purchased MP4 12C but car won't be delivered so early ,may be even final quarter of 2012 or 2013

Vice Champion Malagamuwa keep running on his LP560 at least,as he has linked to be one of buyer for Nissan GTR GT3 model.2009 Champion Hamann has missed Macau GT race last year due to health problem and his chance to race this year uncertain.

Eurasia motorsport are going to continue with Frank Yu and Samson Chan,with Yu driving Ford and Chan with Ginetta.

2011 debutant Asia Racing Team has pairs of MY2011 porsche GT3-R,but one of them has destoryed by a massive crash in Macau GT last year,one brand new MY2012 has arrived their workshop in Zhuhai Circuit last month.But nothing have confirmed by them.

There are 3 races in Japan and Organizers has posted a adverts for Japanese through local agents,some drivers from porsche carrera cup japan are expected to join the events,and Hitotsuyama Racing also interested to race their R8 too.However,depends on their commitments on Super GT while its has a harsh limitation on vehicles(you can't race in other series after registered in GTA)

Just like last serval years some customer and european teams are rumoured to join the series too:Absolute Racing are going to enter the series under Audi Customer Racing China Banner,and plenty of drivers raced in ILMC Zhuhai race are linked to driver's seat.Engslter Motorsport also wants to race,but only to do so with drivers who have sufficents budgets.besides JAS motorsport intend their interest of GT Asia Series on Autosport magazine last summer,there are speculation about a british team entry the race with pairs of mercedes.

As the Tranditional of series we have plenty of spot entrant from HK,other drivers who was/is driving porsche carrera cup asia.I belive Billy Fung,YL siu and Jacky Yeung Cheuk Hing would like to join race in Sepang.
