Viper Niza Racing is gearing up for the most demanding endurance race it will face
Local team Viper Niza Racing is set to face one of the most demanding seasons in it’s history this 2025. Kicking off with the Motul 12 Hours of Sepang at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit on 14 to 15 March, Viper Niza Racing will face a grueling 7-round endurance series across Asia and Europe.
Team Principal and driver Douglas Khoo will lead the team, racing the powerful Mercedes-AMG GT3, alongside teammates Dominic Ang and Melvin Moh. This 2025 season will see the team compete in two endurance races in Asia, starting with the prestigious Motul 12 Hours of Sepang, followed by five more endurance races in Europe.
Moreover, the opening race at Sepang is crucial for the team, as it sets the tone for the rest of the season. After Sepang, the team will immediately head to Italy for the 12 Hours of Mugello, which takes place from 21 to 23 March.
Viper Niza Racing’s intense schedule includes other major endurance events such as the 12 Hours of Spa Francorchamps in Belgium (18 to 20 April), the 12 Hours of Misano in Italy (23 to 24 May), and the 12 Hours of Paul Ricard in France (3 to 5 July). The European tour will conclude with the 24 Hours of Barcelona in Spain (26 to 28 September), before the team heads back to Asia for the Shanghai 8 Hours in October.
Khoo, a two-time TSS The Super Series Supercar GT3 amateur champion also stated, “Endurance racing has always been our strength. It requires excellent fitness, strategic decision-making from race engineers, and a well-coordinated team to succeed. These are critical factors in securing a strong finish.”
On top of that, in 2024, Viper Niza Racing achieved impressive results at the Motul 12 Hours of Sepang, finishing 6th overall and winning their class. Their performance at the Shanghai 8 Hours was equally strong, securing 5th place overall and 3rd in the ProAm class.
The team also boasts a history of success at renowned events such as the 2019 TCR SPA500 24-Hour Endurance Race at Spa Francorchamps, where they claimed victory, and a 6th place finish in the TCR class at the 2022 Hankook 24 Hours of Barcelona.
As Viper Niza Racing gears up for its toughest season yet, the team remains committed to their values of excellence, teamwork and strategic racing, with the support of Motul and their trusted partners, including Endless, Momentum Autoparts, IWC and Jen Orchard Gateway Hotel in Singapore.
