British-Kiwi youngster Emily Cotty will continue with established endurance team Bretton Racing to contest the inaugural Asian Le Mans Cup in the LMP3 class.
After a fruitful debut in endurance racing at Portimao earlier this month in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, where she finished tenth in LMP3, Emily Cotty will remain with Bretton Racing as she continues her endurance racing journey.
She will lead the team’s only car in the series, which will enter the main LMP3 class and serve as the newly created series’ headline category.
Created following the Asian Le Mans Series’ grid expansion, the Asian Le Mans Cup will run with an identical format to the Michelin Le Mans Cup, featuring the main LMP3 and LMP3 Pro-Am subclass, as well as the GT3 class for production-based GT cars.
The series will implement a similar format to its sister counterpart, the Asian Le Mans Series. A typical weekend will feature two practice sessions and two qualifying sessions for each category, which will set the grid for the two races on Saturday and Sunday.
The season will begin on 14–15 November 2026 at Circuit Paul Ricard in France, followed by a round at the Jerez Circuit on 16–17 January 2027, while the finale will be held at the Algarve International Circuit in Portugal on 20–21 February 2027.
