The Absolute Racing driver will make his debut at the Shanghai International Circuit this weekend before taking part in the ninth and final leg of the championship in Zhejiang next month.
“Bentley, Team Absolute and myself will be quitting the China GT Championship along with my [Thai] teammate, Vutthikorn Inthraphuvasak, and we will be contesting the last two rounds of the Blancpain Asia series,” said Fong, who is lying in 19th place overall in the China GT championship with Bentley in fifth place overall in the team standings.
“We will no longer going to race in the remaining China GT races in Chengdu and Zhejiang.
“Bentley Team Absolute decided that the car wasn’t in contention for the championship in China GT any more so we decided we might as well go and try and win a big single race, a spot entry, so we decided to compete in the Blancpain series, where they will be more than 30 cars on the grid.
