The series will consist of 12 championship rounds held in pairs on six circuits across Korea, Thailand, Japan and China. The 3-hour race at Sepang International Circuit will be discontinued after teams voted against it. Also, the non-championship round at the Circuito da Guia in Macau does not feature in the calendar, now the main event of the FIA GT World Cup. The championship would have concluded at the new Zhejiang International Circuit, but delays in the final stages of construction had seen Motorsport Asia Limited make alternate plans. On September 9, it was decided to return to Shanghai for the last two rounds, both run on Thursday 20 October.GT Asia Series to return to Shanghai for final event of the season http://www.endurance-info.com/en/gt-asia-series-to-return-to-shanghai-for-final-event-of-the-season/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160911235805/http://www.endurance-info.com/en/gt-asia-series-to-return-to-shanghai-for-final-event-of-the-season/ dead September 11, 2016 endurance-info.com Endurance-Info October 20, 2016 September 9, 2016 Round Circuit Date Pole position GT3 Winner GTC Winner GTM Winner 1 KOR Korea International Circuit 14 May HKG No. 7 Bentley Team Absolute HKG No. 8 Bentley Team Absolute THA No. 59 Singha Plan-B Motorsport SRI No. 24 Dilango Racing HKG Adderly FongKOR Andrew Kim AUS Jonathan VenterJPN Keita Sawa THA Kantasak KusiriTHA Bhurit Bhirombhakdi SRI Dilantha MalagamuwaIND Armaan Ebrahim 2 15 May HKG No. 5 Phoenix Racing Asia HKG No. 8 Bentley Team Absolute THA No. 59 Singha Plan-B Motorsport no finishers HKG Shaun ThongHKG Marchy Lee AUS Jonathan VenterJPN Keita Sawa THA Kantasak KusiriTHA Bhurit Bhirombhakdi 3 THA Chang International Circuit 11 June THA No. 12 Singha Motorsport HKG No. 5 Phoenix Racing Asia THA No. 11 A Motorsport no competitors NED Carlo van DamTHA Piti Bhirombhakdi HKG Shaun ThongHKG Marchy Lee THA Aekrat Discharoen 4 12 June CHN No. 37 BBT CHN No. 37 BBT THA No. 89 Singha Plan-B Motorsport ITA Davide RizzoCHN Anthony Liu ITA Davide RizzoCHN Anthony Liu THA Tin SritraiTHA Voravud Bhirombhakdi 5 JPN Okayama International Circuit 2 July HKG No. 7 Bentley Team Absolute HKG No. 7 Bentley Team Absolute no competitors HKG Adderly FongKOR Andrew Kim HKG Adderly FongKOR Andrew Kim 6 3 July HKG No. 8 Bentley Team Absolute HKG No. 5 Phoenix Racing Asia AUS Jonathan VenterJPN Keita Sawa HKG Shaun ThongHKG Marchy Lee 7 JPN Fuji Speedway 16 July HKG No. 88 Craft-Bamboo Racing THA No. 12 Singha Motorsport THA No. 59 Singha Plan-B Motorsport GBR Richard LyonsHKG Frank Yu NED Carlo van DamTHA Piti Bhirombhakdi THA Kantasak KusiriTHA Bhurit Bhirombhakdi 8 17 July CHN No. 55 FFF Racing Team by ACM CHN No. 55 FFF Racing Team by ACM THA No. 59 Singha Plan-B Motorsport ITA Edoardo LiberatiITA Andrea Amici ITA Edoardo LiberatiITA Andrea Amici THA Kantasak KusiriTHA Bhurit Bhirombhakdi 9 CHN Shanghai International Circuit 20 August HKG No. 6 Phoenix Racing Asia CHN No. 37 BBT no competitors TPE No. 90 Team FIST with AAI MYS Alex YoongHKG Alex Au ITA Davide RizzoCHN Anthony Liu CHN Lin YuTPE Jun-San Chen 10 21 August CHN No. 15 FFF Racing Team by ACM HKG No. 8 Bentley Team Absolute TPE No. 90 Team FIST with AAI USA Richard AntinucciNLD Jeroen Mul AUS Jonathan VenterJPN Keita Sawa CHN Lin YuTPE Jun-San Chen 11 CHN Shanghai International Circuit 20 October HKG No. 6 Phoenix Racing Asia HKG No. 6 Phoenix Racing Asia no competitors no competitors MYS Alex YoongHKG Alex Au MYS Alex YoongHKG Alex Au 12 CHN No. 55 FFF Racing Team by ACM CHN No. 15 FFF Racing Team by ACM ITA Edoardo LiberatiITA Andrea Amici ITA Marco MapelliNLD Jeroen Mul References External links http://www.gtasiaseries.com Category:GT Asia Series seasons GT Asia Series GT Asia Series
