Supercars star Shane van Gisbergen will spearhead Triple Eight Race Engineering's first overseas foray.
The Red Bull Holden Racing Team ace will be one of three drivers for Triple Eight's full-time GT debut in the Blancpain GT World Challenge-Asia Series starting next month.
It's the first time the hugely successful Australian team has raced overseas after its 2003 entry into the Supercars championship.
Van Gisbergen will share professional duties in the team with Malaysian driver Jazeman Jaafar, while Johor royal family member Prince Jefri Ibrahim will compete as an amateur driver.
The New Zealander will race in three of the six events alongside his Supercars commitments.
