Jack Manchester looks forward to a brand-new challenge this coming weekend as he makes his debut in the 2019/2020 Asian Le Mans Series which gets underway at the Shanghai International Circuit, China. Manchester, who has competed in the European Le Mans Series this season, will share the cockpit of the Dallara P217 alongside Harry Tincknell and Ben Barnicoat as they aim to continue the strong progress made in only his first season in racing LMP2 machinery.
Following a mixed season in the ELMS, Manchester can be proud of what he has achieved – racing in the Thunderhead Carlin Racing Car the talented British racer has produced some fantastic race starts throughout the season and shown great place while racing in the highly competitive championship. Brake failure at Silverstone, causing an injury to his spine and a terrifying crash at Portimao in which he was spun around and struck by another car, has meant that Manchester’s season has also been somewhat marred by bad luck.
