Earl Bamber’s team scored its first podium of the season with a new-look line-up led by Mattia Drudi, Jamie Day, and Gabriel Rindone.
The trio claimed third in the leading Aston Martin Vantage, marking the first podium for EBM in just its second Asian Le Mans Series season.
“We are really proud to stand on the Asian Le Mans podium, which is the feeder series to the WEC,” said team principal Bamber.
“For us as a team from Asia and Australia to fight against the best GT Teams in the world, is what is at the heart of the spirit of this Championship.
“We have put a huge amount of effort in the off-season to restructure our operations and engineering departments, and we are already seeing the benefits of this.
“Now it’s eyes forward as we roll out at SMP tomorrow for our pre-season test ahead of the first Carrera Cup Australia round and we are really excited to announce our driver line-up for 2025 very soon.”
