Latest generation AMR Vantage GT4 about to hit the tracks of the WRL Series this season

Thursday, January 26, 2023

The World Racing League series in North America has so far fielded up to two older generation, normally aspirated Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4’s within its GTO class and its traditionally sold-out grids for their multi-hour, multi-race format weekends.

Indeed, only last week the #909 Automatic Racing prepared Vantage of Rob Ecklin, Ramin Abdolvahabi and Brandon Kidd competed within the season opener at the NOLA Motorsport Park circuit for their 9Hr and 7Hr event in favour over the Roar before the 24-official test from Daytona as a pre-season warm up to their Michelin Pilot Challenge endeavours this year.

Sadly for them though, their two class pole positions were thwarted with technical issues within the opening race to rob them of a class win inside the final hour to eventually finish sixth in class in race one and fourth in race two.

Soon we will be seeing the next generation of Vantage GT4 hit the grids of the WRL Series (and other domestic series) as teams like TLM Racing enter their two new and one used AMR Vantage GT4’s for their customer crews who will debut them in the series at the Barber Motorsport Park in Alabama in early March.

Seen here testing in Miami, the two new cars and former BSPORT Racing AMR have been put through their paces for the first time ahead of that series debut.
