The Zhuhai 1000km could be the culmination of an outstanding 2010 season. Porsche has already won LM GT2 titles in Le Mans Series and American Le Mans Series and victory in this category at the end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. They intend to add the first GT2 title in the history of the ILMC and thus achieving a magnificent grand slam!
Also present at the opening race at Silverstone, ProSpeed and Felbermayr-Proton will defend the colors of the German manufacturer in China. Porsche will also be running the factory 911 GT3 R Hybrid and as at Petit Le Mans, it will run outside classification, this time in the hands of Jörg Bergmeister and Patrick Long.

The Zhuhai 1 000km will be held from November 5th to 7th.
