Solaris prepare for assault on 2017 GT Open Championship

Full Aston Martin Racing Partner team - Solaris Motorsport hit the race track late last week as they prepare themselves for the 2017 assault on the european GT Open Championship.

Testing at the Vallelunga circuit, just north of Rome saw the team introduce new driver Mauro Calamia to their V12 Vantage GT3 as he and established team driver Francesco Sini look to establish a successful driving understanding before round one in Estoril, Portugal at the end of April.



Despite being a highly competent race driver, 25 year old Calamia will need a degree of transformation time to learn the traits of the V12 AMR having only raced Porsche's and Maserati's previously.

The team now move on to the GT Open winter test at Paul Ricard next weekend.
