Bullitt Racing join the Aston Martin ranks with a multi-car multi-series GT3 effort in 2022

Friday, October 22, 2021

Just like speculation has led us to believe over recent weeks, today’s announcement from the Spanish based Bullitt Racing Team has confirmed the growing interest in the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT racing platform with various potential customers as a viable alternative to the more common German OEM brands.

Today announcing a two car, multiple series racing commitment with a pair of AMR Vantage GT3’s, Bullitt Racing has also acquired full Partner status with the AMR factory that will see them also become Aston Martin’s regional agent for the Iberian Peninsula.

Established just five years ago by Stephen Pattrick, the Marbella based team was established to provide top end driver coaching (for its owner) and other decerning gentlemen drivers within what was initially a GT4 arena.

Entries into the GT4 European Series and the South Europe GT4 Series with their Mercedes AMG GT4 has proven the value of operating with factory supported cars, equipment and personnel and this new venture with Aston Martin Racing will be no different.

Today’s new outlines the team’s intention of entering a two car AMR Vantage GT3 line up in next seasons Michelin Le Mans Cup Series as well as entries within the next seasons Asian Le Mans Series, next year’s Gulf 12Hrs and their regional rounds of the Creventic 24H Series with drivers and partners all yet to be confirmed.

What we do know is that the car shown testing was delivered to the team a few weeks ago and is the ex. Nicki Thiim/Marco Sorensen NLS 8 / Spa 24 Aston Martin, a car that saw out David King’s reign at the team as President in the most fitting way possible. A quick clean done and service later and the car was delivered straight to the team at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya from Germany for wrapping and testing. We believe that their second car will be delivered over the year.
