Alexandre Gibot recognizes that the face of Asian motorsport has transformed since the establishment of PMAP. “There are more racing platforms, such as GT World Challenge Asia, China GT and Thailand Super Series that our customers participate in, but they are also sustainable, so they are long-term.

The level of professionalism of local teams is increasing rapidly in all these championships, but particularly in the Intercontinental GT Challenge and the FIA ​​GT World Cup in Macau. »

We believe our one-make series is another area we can strengthen, such as the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia which has a new Am category for 2020, while continuing to develop our GT3 competition. But we also want to push customer support with after-sales services to make sure we provide them with the best possible service. »
