the ACO management and technical teams to ensure the category maintains consistency with the ACO LMP3 format and so LMP3 series around the world.

For the Series it is another important milestone. The LMP3 Cup Australia has witnessed growing excitement at the debut of LMP3 series racing and is working to anticipate challenges ahead of the first race. Tony will play an important part in helping define the Series regulations in conjunction with the ACO, and to help the teams and drivers in understanding the series and the cars.

We think Tony will prove to
be a great asset to the Series. and we are confident that he is the right choice to lead the category into the 2020 season.”

LMP3 Cup Australia also confirmed that through their strong ACO affiliation, Tony and the rest of the category management and scrutineering team will benefit from extensive training from the ACO directly, specifically during the 2019/20 Asian Le Mans Series to ensure the category is run to world class standards.
