Drivers revealed for 2026/27 Asian Le Mans Series

Garage 59 has confirmed the six drivers who will spearhead its two-car challenge in the 2026/27 Asian Le Mans Series, which heads to Europe this winter for a six-race campaign.

The British team will field two McLaren GT3 EVOs, bringing together reigning champions, race winners and rising GT talent for this title assault.

American Dustin Blattner, Germany’s Dennis Marschall and Britain’s Tom Fleming will share the #58 McLaren, while Italy’s Marco Pulcini joins British racers Freddie Tomlinson and Joseph Loake in the #60.

The #58 line-up brings together a formidable mix of experience and momentum. Blattner and Marschall arrive as the reigning Asian Le Mans Series GT champions, and they join Fleming, who has enjoyed a standout season with Garage 59. He has become a familiar face at the front of the GT3 field in 2026, adding WEC pole positions to his CV along with wins in WEC and GT World Challenge Europe. Together, the #58 trio combines proven Asian Le Mans Series success with extensive GT3 and endurance racing experience.

The #60 McLaren brings together three drivers who already know the car, the team or both. Pulcini returns to Garage 59 having raced with the team in International GT Open and the Gulf 12 Hours. A multiple GT Open Pro-Am champion, the Italian brings considerable GT3 experience to the programme.

Tomlinson will make his Garage 59 debut but arrives with plenty of experience of the McLaren GT3 EVO from his 2026 GT World Challenge Europe campaign, while Loake continues his relationship with Garage 59 after a season competing in the team’s Pro Cup McLaren. Loake’s speed and racecraft have been on display throughout the 2026 GT World Challenge Europe season, most recently during an impressive charge through the field at Portimão.

The 2026/27 season will feature six four-hour races across three double-header weekends. The campaign opens at Circuit Paul Ricard in France on 13-15 November before resuming in the new year at Jerez, Spain, on 15-17 January. The final two races will take place at Portimão, Portugal, on 19-21 February.

For Garage 59, it marks a return to a championship in which the team has considerable history, but this season comes with a very different flavour. With a packed European calendar, two McLarens and one of the most competitive GT3 grids of the winter, the target is simple, to put Garage 59 firmly in the fight.

Team Principal, Andrew Kirkaldy, said: “We’re really pleased with the two line-ups we’ve put together for this campaign. There’s a great mix of experience, proven success and young talent across both cars, and every one of the six drivers brings something different to the programme. With 29 GT3 cars and eight manufacturers on the grid, we know the competition is going to be incredibly strong, but that’s exactly the sort of challenge we want. We’ll be the only team running McLarens, so there’s a responsibility that comes with that too. The aim is to be competitive from the outset and put ourselves in the fight for strong results across all six races.”
