Team New Zealand join the AMR ranks in Thailand Super Series
Sunday, April 14, 2024
Team New Zealand are the latest recruits to the Aston Martin Racing powered family as they have been confirmed as the latest entrant into this season’s Thailand Super Series.
Racing the older 17A iteration of the Vantage GT4 last seen out with Romain Leroux within the TSS Series support race at the Singapore F1 event, the team have confirmed that Kiwi racer Graeme Dowsett will be joined by upcoming Thai racer Ananthorn Tangniannatchai within the GT4 class.
Over the last two season’s in the TSS Series, we have had the Viper Niza team represent the brand with their 16A version of the Vantage GT3 but they have competed their last two series events within either the LMP3 car or most recently within a Mercedes AMG GT3 at the Sepang 12Hr.
Team NZ announces its programme for TSS 2024 just as the series expands its calendar from four to five rounds (and ten races) for 2024, thanks to the addition of an extra round at Sepang Circuit. The Malaysian F1 circuit has been a happy hunting round for Team NZ over the years and it has enjoyed much winning success there.
TSS 2024 will kick off next month at Buriram’s FIA Grade 1 Chang International Circuit before taking in the iconic Bangsaen Grand Prix street race. That’s followed by back-to-back trips to Sepang International Circuit before the year closes with a return trip to Buriram in December.
With the help of Aston Martin Racing Asia and Earl Bamber Motorsport, Team NZ has just wrapped up a pre-season and acclimatisation programme at Sepang Circuit as it gets up to speed with the Vantage GT4 and beds in Tangniannatchai.
