Inter Europol Competition returns to the Asian Le Mans Series next month in Malaysia, fielding two Ligier JS P320s in the LMP3 category. The team last competed in the championship in 2023, securing a race win and challenging for the LMP2 title. More recently, the Warsaw-based team won the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and finished second in the European Le Mans Series in the LMP2 class.

#34 – Douwe Dedecker – Tim Creswick – Daniel Ali
Young karter turned Formula 4 racer Douwe Dedecker will make his Prototype debut with Inter Europol Competition next month. The Belgian, who turns 17 in January, will race alongside two names that are very familiar to the team.

Tim Creswick and Daniel Ali raced in the Michelin Le Mans Cup in 2024 and 2023 respectively. The trio will share the BWT liveried #34 Ligier.

#43 – Mikkel Kristensen – Steve Brooks – Kevin Rabin
The sister green and yellow #43 entry comprises of Mikkel Kristensen, Steve Brroks and Kevin Rabin. The former also comes from a karting background and most recently competed in the Spanish GT Championship – second in the standings – and SuperCars Iberia, where he secured nine podiums.

He has just turned 16 and will be joined by Steve Brooks, a driver most familiar with the historic racing scene. Steve has sampled a range of classic machinery, from the Peugeot 90X LMP1 to a Lotus 81 Formula 1 car.

Rounding out a mix of youth and experience is Kevin Rabin who won the Prototype Winter Series with class six wins from seven rounds. Given his tender age, 2024 was his first season in Prototypes as he then joined the Ultimate Cup Series for the final four rounds and now, he looking to the next chapter with Inter Europol Competition.

The championship gets underway in Malaysia next month with two rounds, followed in February by four further rounds in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

“I’m very happy to join the team, after a very good first feel of the car in testing, I feel confident in what we can expect throughout the season.
“Of course, I’ll bring something different to the team in terms of looks! The car will be liveried in the pink colours of BWT. They will again support us in 2025, so let’s give it all and see together with the team what we can do!”

Tim Creswick #34
“I’m really excited to be continuing with IEC in Asia this year. Moving to Prototypes from GT cars this year has been a fantastic challenge, and I’m enjoying the LMP3. The Asian series is going to be a great opportunity to show my pace in this car, and it’s looking like with Daniel and Douwe, we should have a competitive package.”

Daniel Ali #34
„I am incredibly excited to be racing again with Inter Europol Competition, this time in the Asian Le Mans series. I have never raced in this series before, and I expect it will be an incredible experience to race at some of the best tracks in Asia and the UAE.

„I’ll also be gaining lots of track time and experience, especially with two four-hour races each week. Overall, I look forward to the battle and being in the LMP3 championship hunt.”

Mikkel Kristensen #43
“I’m very much looking forward to racing in my first international championship with Inter Europol Competition in the Asian Le Mans Series. The Ligier JS P3 is a significant step up from the JS2 R I raced during my debut season. The LMP3 test in Paul Ricard helped me to get to grips with this prototype. Working with the team and Tim Creswick helped me end the day with strong lap times in the car.

“Racing in the Asian Le Mans Series will provide me with a great opportunity to learn with one of the best teams and compete against world-class drivers. I am excited to push with the team and my teammates to get the best possible result.”

Steve Brooks #43
„For years, I have loved the union of man and machine. I have loved helicopters all of my life, and I became the first person to fly from the North Pole to the South Pole in a Robinson R44. I later flew a Mark Nine Spitfire around the world in what was called the Silver Spitfire, the longest flight.

„My greatest love is in racing, the incredible cars we compete in. Over the last ten years, I have enjoyed racing anything from classic Formula 1 from the 1980s through to Le Mans cars from the early 2000s. This is my first go at modern racing, and I feel terribly lucky and excited to participate in the Asian Le Mans Series in a very pretty LMP3 car.”

Kevin Rabin #43
„Joining Inter Europol Competition to compete in the Asian Le Mans Series is beyond what I could have hoped for. This year has been full of incredible surprises, and it’s an immense honour to join such a competitive team with ambitious goals. My experience still has room to grow as I’m just starting in LMP3, but I believe this is the right moment to take this step.

„From my side, I’m fully committed to giving my absolute best, and I’m deeply grateful to the team for offering me this opportunity. I’m excited to share this new experience with everyone at Inter Europol Competition.”
