24h Le Mans
Though the United Autosports team's #23 ORECA 07-Gibson won the last round of the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series season, the #4 fielded by Nielsen Racing earned the championship title and consequently an invitation to this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans (11-12 June).
United Autosports having chosen not to participate in the full 2022 Asian le Mans Series season, Nielsen Racing's #44 ORECA 07-Gibson driven by Rodrigo Sales, Matt Bell and Ben Hanley won this year's crown.
After dominating the two Dubai rounds then finishing second at the opening Abu Dhabi race yesterday, British team Nielsen Racing had enough points to win the title before the final round and earn an automatic invitation to the 90th 24 Hours of Le Mans on 11-12 June where the same trio will compete.
Race 4 was won by the United Autosports team's #23 ORECA ahead of the #4 entered by Nielsen Racing and the #39 of Graff Racing.
