Increased teams from the region entered: 
The 2023 – 2024 Asian Le Mans season will see the series return to racing in Southeast Asia for the first time since 2020. This season will see seven entries from the Asian Pacific region, with one entry (Al Manar Racing by GetSpeed) from the Middle East.

Japanese team, D’Station Racing who have recently also been competing in the FIA WEC, will again be on the grid with their Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3. Long standing entrant, Malaysian team Viper Niza Racing returns for their 5th season, also with an Aston Martin.

After an extended time away from the Series, Hong Kong based team Craft Bamboo Racing will field a Mercedes AMG GT3 EVO.

New teams, EBM (Earl Bamber Motorsport) from New Zealand, and Triple Eight from Australia will also join the Series.  EBM may be a new team on the grid, but team owner Earl Bamber is certainly no a stranger to ACO racing, winning the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans on debut. The team have entered two Porsche 911 GT3 Rs.

At least eight different GT manufacturers on the grid: 
The GT class continues to attract significant competition amongst brands, with at least eight different manufacturers set to line up on the grid this season. With greater capacity in the UAE paddocks, there may be even more manufacturers on the grid when the Asian Le Mans Series races returns to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

2 x Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO 2
3 x Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3
2 x BMW M4 GT3
4 x Ferrari 296 GT3 *Asian Le Mans Series debut
1 x Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO 2

The Asian Le Mans Series continues to attract new teams. This season will see eight teams making their Series debut. Proton Competition, Duqueine Team, EBM, Sainteloc Racing, Project 1, Team Motopark, Triple Eight, and GR Racing will all compete in the Series for the first time.

Invitations to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans: 
Arguably the most sort after invitation in motorsport, an invitation to enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be offered to the LMP2 and GT class winners of the 2023/2024 Asian Le Mans Series.

New for the 2023/2024 Asian Le Mans Series, the LMP3 class winner will receive priority when entering the 2024 Road To Le Mans – a support race held during the 24 Hours of Le Mans race weekend and a very important step on the pathway to racing in the main event.
