Day going down under for GT World Challenge Australia debut with Volante Rosso
Monday, October 14, 2024
It appears that the driver line up behind the Volante Rosso Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 is pretty fluid at the moment as the team prepare themselves for the penultimate round of the GT World Challenge Australia Series from Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend.
Reporting only ten days ago that the team's young Alex Gardner would be joined by an internationally based driver isn’t now exactly the case.
Having first secured the driving services of Filipino based driver Alex Canard, a social media post today from the recently crowned British GT GT4 Silver Cup Championship Jamie Day would strongly suggest that he will now be populating the seat of the team’s #14 for this weekend’s event alongside Canard rather than with Gardner.
A moderate stranger to the Vantage GT3 platform himself having only raced one at the Spa Francorchamps round of the ADAC GT Masters Series with Prosport Racing back in late August, the Dubai based young Brit is certainly putting the feelers out for others competitive avenues after two highly successful seasons within the GT4 based class both in Europe and in the UK.

The Sydney based team recently acquired the former Andretti Autosport AMR back in July before debuting within their national GT World Challenge Series with a varying driver base with Gardner as he moves up from Radicals into the world of GT racing. How this affects his progress remains to be seen but this new line up is certainly one to watch!
