New Zealander Brendon Leitch and Leipert Motorsport have finished fifth in the GT class in Race 1 of the Asian Le Mans Series, the 4 Hours of Sepang.

Heavy rain and standing water on the track forced the race to be abandoned with just under 10 minutes remaining at Sepang International Circuit.

Leitch and co-drivers Gabriel Ridone and Marco Mapelli qualified 14th in the #19 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO 2.

Triple Eight JMR and Broc Feeney came home in seventh position in the GT class.

Feeney and co-drivers Luca Stolz and Prince Jefri Ibrahim in the #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO fell afoul of officials for Ibrahim’s avoidable contact with other drivers.
