Antares Au

Antares Au is a Hong Kong S.A.R. racing driver making waves in the world of endurance racing. Balancing a demanding finance career with his passion for motorsport, Au has demonstrated unwavering commitment and talent on the international stage. In December 2024, he will be competing in the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS) with Manthey Racing, driving the No. 10 Porsche 911 GT3 R alongside Joel Sturm and Klaus Bachler.

Au's racing experience spans several prestigious events, including the Dubai 24 Hour Race, where he achieved a personal best. His dedication to the sport requires significant sacrifices, including extensive travel, quarantines, and time away from family. In 2023, Au secured a historic victory at the 24 Hours of Spa, becoming the first Hong Kong driver to win the Bronze Cup, driving a Huber Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 R with teammates Matteo Cairoli, Tim Heinemann, and Jannes Fittje. The team also achieved overall pole position and the fastest lap of the race in the GT3 class.

Despite his success, Au remains grounded and realistic about the challenges facing motorsport in Hong Kong. He hopes his achievements inspire others and demonstrate that dedication and effort can lead to significant accomplishments, even in a sport that lacks a strong local ecosystem. His career reflects a blend of professional discipline and a deep-seated passion for racing, making him a compelling figure in the motorsport world.
