Aston Martin Brussels will this weekend compete in the International GT Open series at the Spa Francorchamps circuit with its distinctive yellow and white liveried V12 Vantage GT3. They join fellow AMR Customer team TF Sport who also recently announced their attendance with their GT3 car.

Being now stranger to the series in its former guise of GPR Racing the team's drivers,Tim Verbergt and Michael Schmetz will be hoping to rekindle some the teams previous series success that might ultimately lead to a continued participation within the series.

This route follows on from what the team describe as an unfortunate experience when they competed in the Spa round of the British GT series earlier in the year. "The difference is huge' , says Schmetz . "In British GT it made ​​us realise that we did not want us. In GT Open it's the opposite , they have welcomed us with open arms"

Race 1 starts 15.45Hrs local on Saturday and Race 2 13.45Hrs local on Sunday.
