Old faces revisit AMOC at Brands Hatch

Yesterday saw the Aston Martin Owners Club hold their second round of their 2019 season around the Indy Loop at Brands Hatch.

Whilst many of the names that features down the entry list are more than familiar to their meetings, it was great to see the re-appearance of both Andrew Jarman and Hiroyuki Akane for the first time in many years (from Jarman's point of view at least)!


More recently associated together with Akane's Alpha Classic Racing team over in Japan, it appears that Akane has now sourced himself an older iteration Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4 for him to race within the series with the help of the ever present Stratton Motorsport team.

Indeed, Akane and Jarman's trip down to Kent proved worthwhile with a very credible P2 finish in the AMOC Intermarque with GT4 Challenge race despite having started on Pole. Under the ever watchful eye of Stuart Hall, Robin Marriott took the top step for the GT4 Challenge with Aston Martin Lagonda designer Marek Reichman/Becker completing the podium.


In the earlier sole GT4 Challenge race there were also podiums for Chris Murphy (Whitebridge AMR) and a class P3 for Jarman/Akane.

Nice to see you both back - looks like you had some fun!!!
