Tom Wood joins Beechdean AMR for BGT finale

Monday, September 23, 2024

 


Beechdean AMR will field a revised line-up in this weekend’s British GT Championship finale at Brands Hatch as GT3 rookie Tom Wood joins the team alongside two-time title-winner Andrew Howard.

Wood, 22, stands in for regular driver and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team Ambassador Jessica Hawkins, who is unavailable due to a clashing commitment, in the GT3 Silver-Am entry.

The Castle Donington driver will race the #97 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 alongside Howard, who won the 2013 and 2015 British GT crowns, in the two-hour race on the Grand Prix layout of the legendary Kent track.


While the race will mark the Aston Martin Lagonda Pro driver’s debut in a GT3 car, he has extensive experience of racing in a variety of single-make, GT and sportscar categories.

A race winner in the UK’s Ginetta Junior Championship in 2017, he moved into GT4 racing in the UK and Germany and was a multiple podium finisher in ADAC GT4 aboard an Aston Martin in both 2022 and ’23.


He supplemented this with the runner-up spot in last year’s Radical SR1 Cup with eight race victories and has tested numerous Aston Martin track cars and road vehicles as part of his role with the Manufacturer.
