Continuing to build his relationship with TF Sport and Aston Martin Racing, Sam will race alongside Aston Martin factory driver Charlie Eastwood, once again, who he is also teaming up a month earlier with in Dubai. This will provide the pair with important experience of the Dubai Autodrome ahead of the championship opener. Completing the driver Asian Le Mans Series line-up will be multiple Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup Pro-Am champion Ahmad Al Harthy. 

The entry into the Asian Le Mans Series is the latest challenge for Sam as he looks to build his GT3 racing experience. This announcement will see him make his Series debut, as well as his first race at the home of Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi, the famous Yas Marina Circuit. Charlie and Ahmad return to the Series having campaigned separately with TF Sport during 2021. With class victory offering an entry into the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the driver trio, along Oman Racing with TF Sport, is heading to the Middle East with the ultimate aim of securing the title.

“I’m really excited to confirm further plans with TF Sport so early into the new season, and to be taking on the Asian Le Mans Series with Charlie and Ahmad. It is another new experience for me, but I am learning more with every race, and I will have run extensively in Dubai as we arrive at the opening weekend. With Charlie and Ahmad’s experience racing in the Middle East, I am feeling confident that we are in a good place to push for strong results over the four races.”

Relocated for a second season, the Asian Le Mans Series takes place with opening two events at the Dubai Autodrome over the weekend 11-12 February, concluding a week later at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, 19-20 February.
