Eshan emerge runner-up in GT World Challenge Asia

Sri Lankan driver Eshan Pieris secured the runner-up position in the Silver Class championship in the 2024 GT World Challenge Asia season concluded at the Shanghai International Circuit in China.   
Pieris consistently showcased his talent and determination in the final race of the championship, as he finished third, capping off a remarkable year of racing together with Tanart Sathienthirakul.  
Reflecting on his achievement, Pieris expressed his gratitude to the Absolute Racing Team and  
Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific for the opportunity.   
“What a fantastic year of racing with the Absolute Racing family,” Pieris said. “I’m incredibly proud to have secured the Silver runner-up position in the championship. I want to thank everyone who was with me throughout the season, from my team to my supporters.”  
Pieris and his teammate Tanart Sathienthirakul, put in a strong performance in the Silver Class, driving Absolute Racing’s Porsche 911 GT3 R (992).   
Their consistent pace and strategic driving contributed to the team’s success throughout the season. As the 2024 GT World Challenge Asia season ends, Pieris’s Silver runner-up finish shows his skill and dedication.   
Looking ahead, Pieris hopes to take part in the GT World Challenge Championship next year, this time with the ambition of winning the overall title. To prepare for this, he plans to dedicate even more time on the simulator, as well as karting and racing in general to sharpen his skills and be even better prepared.   
For the rest of the year, Eshan will be fully focussed on his work and his partnership with SpeedBay while also preparing for the final round of the Thailand Super Series to be held in December.
