Craft-Bamboo Racing will field its first all-Aussie driver line-up in the #99 Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 for the next two GT Asia rounds in Malaysia. The duo will pair together starting next weekend (15-17 August) and the following month (12-14 September), as the 2010 GT4 Asia Cup Champion Daniel Bilski joins compatriot Jonathan Venter at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia for the seventh round of the 2014 GT Asia Series.
Newcomer to the team, Bilski boasts extensive experience in GTs, classic cars and endurance races, getting behind the wheel of several different types and makes of cars. Based in Hong Kong, he is familiar with the Sepang International Circuit having raced and won there on numerous occasions so will no doubt be a formidable force in the up-coming race.
Although Bilski has experience in Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4s, this will be the 43-year olds first outing in the V12 Vantage GT3, but his recent GT3 success leaves him confident and excited at the challenge ahead.
This will be the second outing with Craft-Bamboo Racing for the eighteen-year old Venter. After a successful outing at the Fuji Speedway with the team, he has extended his participation in the hope of improving his performance and with an aim of getting on the podium. Venter was paired up with American Kevin Gleason in the #99 at Fuji where the duo made its GT debut battling a 35 car grid to finish both races in the top ten, which saw Venter running up as high as P4 overall during race 2. The GT Asia Series will head to Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia for rounds seven and eight on 15-17 August 2014.
