As the **winter season** of **2023/2024** draws near, **GetSpeed**, operating out of the **Nürburgring business park**, is primed for an exhilarating start in the **Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS)**. With two impressively staffed **Mercedes-AMG GT3**s in their lineup, the team is eyeing a step up from their remarkable third-place finish earlier this year. Under the banner of **AlManar Racing by GetSpeed**, drivers **Al Faisal Al Zubair**, **Martin Konrad**, and **Fabian Schiller** will share duties in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 bearing the number **7**. Meanwhile, **Anthony Bartone**, **Aaron Walker**, and **Steve Jans** will alternate in the sister car, number **9**.

The **ACO-organised** winter series calendar includes five races, commencing with a round at the **Sepang International Circuit** in **Malaysia** on **2nd/3rd December 2023**. This is followed by a race at the **Dubai Autodrome** on **Sunday 4th February** **2024**, before the season culminates with two final races at the **Yas Marina Circuit** on **10/11th February 2024**. Alongside GetSpeed's GT-class Mercedes-AMG GT3s, the **39-strong field** also features **LMP2** and **LMP3** prototypes.

In 2023, GetSpeed made a successful debut in the ALMS, securing third place in the championship after four races. Team principal **Adam Osieka** highlights the team's endurance racing roots, particularly on the **Nordschleife**, emphasising the need to balance individual race focus with the broader dynamic of multiclass racing. The team's maiden effort early in 2023 set a high bar, which they are keen to surpass this season.

The season opener at Sepang presents a new challenge for GetSpeed. The track, designed by German architect **Hermann Tilke** and opened in **1999**, is known for its 15 demanding turns over **5.543 kilometres**. Osieka expresses confidence in tackling new circuits, leveraging the team's status as a Mercedes-AMG customer team to secure a solid setup foundation. Experienced drivers are expected to quickly adapt and fine-tune the cars to their preferences.

Martin Konrad will make his debut in GetSpeed's Mercedes-AMG GT3, bringing with him a history of success alongside Osieka, including a **Pro-Am** class win at the **24 Hours of Spa**. Al Faisal and Schiller have already notched wins and podiums in the GetSpeed cockpit, notably in this year's **International GT Open**. Steve Jans, a long-standing GetSpeed driver, returned to the team in 2022 and has since been a consistent performer in the GT Open. **British** racer Aaron Walker and newcomer Anthony Bartone have also shown promise, with notable achievements in the **GT World Challenge Europe** and GT Open, respectively.

The upcoming ALMS season in Sepang will feature two 4-hour races, where teams will be vying for an invaluable prize – a spot in the **2024 Le Mans 24 Hours**, which for the first time, will see the inclusion of **GT3** vehicles. The quest for the coveted Le Mans ticket begins with determination and high expectations for GetSpeed. We wish them well!
