Iberian Supercars bows out with another AMR powered class win but no Championship this time around

Monday, October 28, 2024

 


The weekend just gone motor racing affairs was slightly less than what was originally expected as the sole Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 crew within the endurance side of the Italian GT Series wasn’t involved with their seasonal finale from Monza.

We had expected the #5 L&A Infinity AMR entry of William Alatalo, Matteo Di Guisto and Jorge Lorenzo to make their final appearance together after both Alatalo and du Giusto secured podium success during the final round of the Sprint Series at the Temple of Speed just a few weeks ago.


As a result of their elective no -show, the L&A Infinity entry finishes the season eighth within their Pro- Am class.


We did, however, see seven Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 crews see out the final round of the Iberian Supercars Series at the Autodromo Internacional Algarve near Portimao at the weekend.

Sadly, none were in championship grabbing positions but that didn’t stop those from challenging for class honours within either the Pro, Bronze or Am classes with either their new 2024 Evo or 17A versions of the AMR platform.


The best results came from the #6 Racar Motorsport AMR of Jose Pires who claimed a hero to zero weekend result of P1 within his bronze class after Sundays earlier opening race before failing to finish the concluding round of the season but there was a whole fistful of top five finishes within classes amongst the Racar and Araujo Competicao entries.


As we have mentioned before, it will be interesting to just see where Racar Motorsport go from here as their entire fleet of 17A variants of the AMR Vantage GT4’s have been listed for sale for a number of months, but like most things post season – only time will tell!!
