Three AMR's at Lime Rock Parks Michelin Pilot Challenge
Wednesday, July 17, 2019
Florida based Automatic Racing shall this weekend be fielding three Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4's at the Lime Rock Park round of IMSA's Michelin Pilot Challenge season.
Whilst the #99 Stoner Care liveried car shall remain the 2016 specification Vantage GT4 for drivers Kris Wilson and Gary Ferrara, the other two #97 and #09 cars will be the two 2019 specification cars that have raced for the team before with the latest chassis only joining them at the previous round at Canadian Tyre Motorsport Park.
The newer chassis' will be driven by Rob Eckin Jnr and Tom Long in the #97 Invisible Glass liveried car and by Ari Balogh and Greg Liefooghe in the principally white #09 car. The latter was the duo who were doing so well at CTMSP before an error at the final stop (spinning the rear wheels whilst the car was on the jacks) removed any chance of a debut podium
This car has been provided to the team by the new Aston Martin Racing agent for North America in CSJ Motorsport.
