Twenty-four cars in four classes will line up for the start of the final round of the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup season, the Zhuhai Six Hours in Zuhai, China on November 13.
The 14-turn, 4-km Zhuhai track, the first race course built in China, hosted the season finale in 2010, and will again in 2011.
There will be a bit less excitement this year, as the LMP1, P2 and GTE-Am titles are already decided, but the battle in GTE-Pro between Ferrari and BMW is still on, thought the Italian marque has a nearly insurmountable 28-point lead.
Peugeot has already won the LMP1 Manufacturer’s title, and Signatech Nissan the P2 crown, while Larbre Racing has clinched GTE-Am. That doesn’t mean these teams won’t be competing all-out. Peugeot wants to continue its dominance over Audi by winning every race but Le Mans, and Larbre Racing will want to show well as Corvette Racing factory pilot Olivier Beretta will be sharing the driver’s seat.
