A month after the tenth round in Dubai, which saw some truly exceptional racing at an exciting new facility in the United Arab Emirates, the FIA GT Championship is continuing its overseas tour with a return to the Zhuhai International Circuit.

For the BMS Scuderia Italia team, victorious in both the driver's and team's classifications for a second consecutive year, China represents the chance to go out on a high.

Ballast will as usual be a hindrance for the Italian team: the no 2 Ferrari 550 Maranello will carry 100kg, as will the nr 3 Care Racing entry. As for the Dubai-winning nr 1 car, it will have 45kg.

Matteo Bobbi and Gabriele Gardel had an excellent race in Dubai, winning ahead of the nr 34 Maserati MC 12, putting behind them a difficult season.

"Honestly, I have no idea what it will be like in Zhuhai," Swiss driver Gardel explained. "But Dubai was new to us too, and we had a very good race.
 

"I am pleased to be going to China; neither Matteo or I will have any pressure, we will just concentrate on going as fast as we can. It would be good to finish the season with another strong race."

Although new Champion Fabrizio Gollin will be present in China to complete various media duties, BMS drivers Luca Cappellari and Fabrizio Gollin will not be behind the wheel of their usual nr 2 Ferrari 550 Maranello in Zhuhai.

The car will instead be shared by experienced endurance racer Luca Drudi, Frederic Dor, the Care Racing boss, and Nicola 'Niki' Cadei, a race-winner in the 2004 Ferrari Challenge.

The Care Racing Ferrari 550 Maranello will be driven, as in Dubai, by Lilian Bryner, Thomas Biagi and Enzo Calderari.
