Car Blanche expanding to Asian Le Mans in partnership with with RSL

Following a successful inaugural season in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Car Blanche is preparing to take on a new challenge, announcing its entry into the 2026-27 Asian Le Mans Series.

For the upcoming campaign, Car Blanche has joined forces with Racing Spirit of Léman (RSL), which will provide operational and technical support for the program. The collaboration allows the American team to continue building its international presence, while the Car Blanche team and identity established throughout its first season of competition stay the same. Competing under the Car Blanche by RSL banner will be a three-driver line-up consisting of Valentin Hasse Clot, Jonny Edgar and Arnold Robin.

Car Blanche quickly demonstrated its competitive potential in the WeatherTech Championship, securing podium finishes throughout the season before closing its inaugural campaign with a win at Petit Le Mans (pictured above). Building on that momentum, Car Blanche now turns its attention to the Asian Le Mans Series, entering a new championship and taking on a fresh selection of circuits, competitors and the team’s first races in Europe. 

Car Blanche joins fellow Aston Martin IMSA competitor Heart of Racing in the 2026/2027 Asian Le Mans Series field. Despite its name, the series is currently scheduled to be confined to a trio of four-hour doubleheader races in Europe for the upcoming season, starting at the French circuit of Paul Ricard on Nov. 14-15, followed by rounds in Jerez, Spain on Jan. 16-17 and Portimao, Portugal on Feb. 20-21. Races were previously staged in the Middle East as well as Asian venues, but these are on hiatus due to political strife and for logistical reasons.
